    the elder daughter who is in grade 3. Tashi said, Five years ago, we were unaware of the

    women whose lives are much better than mine. Thank you for giving us these clothes. They willkeep us warm this cold winter. Thank you very much for your kindness.

    SUMMARY

    _______________________________________________________________________________________

    Kunchok Dorje, a teacher at Karang (Ch. Galeng) Township Central School, received the clothes and toys in

    December 2010. Chubsang Village residents are Tibetan farmers cultivating highland barley, wheat,

    rapeseed, and potatoes. Some households keep a small number of goats, cows, yaks, and pigs. This

    livelihood is for subsistence. In summer, most laborers leave to the village to puruse cash income as

    construction workers. Expenses such as sending children to schools, especially higher level education, and

    medical treatment are significant expenditures.

    The clothes were collected and counted by the village committee, and then equally divided among villagers.

    Each household received 16 pieces on average. For this mpoverished village, these clothes were a

    much-appreciated gifts in cold winter.

    TRANSLATION

    Dear Donors,

    We are Xingzhuang Village in Gonghe Township. The 27 recipients express gratitude to you for your kind

    donation of clothing. As a farming village in Gonghe Township, Xinghzuang Village has low farming yields

    that only meet the needs of local villagers. Thus, for the 5 families, your donation relieved the burden of

    purchasing new clothes and avoid the cold this winter. We again say thank you very much and wish all your

    dreams come true in this 2011.

    Sincerely,

    Xingzhuang Village Committee

    VILLAGE DESCRIPTION

    Xingzhuang Village has 1,390 people (270 households) of whom 712 are Han Chinese and 678 are Tibetan.

    Most villagers cultivate barley, wheat, rape, potatoes, and beans. On average, the per capita income per year

    is 2,200RMB, earned from selling vegetables and engaging in migrant labour in places such as Xining City.

    However, income depends on a family's ability to operate a greenhouse, and go outside the village to do

    migrant work.

    Sanzhi Jie (b. 1953): I am a single father. My wife died two years ago. I have three children. My eldest son

    is 20 and he helps me take care of our farm land so that his younger sisters can attend school. My eldest son

    stopped school after high school, because our family cannot afford the tuition. We own around 6 mu of

    agriculture land. We grow barley, wheat, potatoes, and rapeseed. Each year we earn about 4,000RMB by

    selling potatoes, barley, and wheat. Sometimes, my son does construction work in Xining City and can earn

    about 5,, from May to July, from this canearn about 5,000RMB. We really want our two girls to continue

    their education so for this we work very hard. The clothing your gave us was really helpful by reducing what

    we will spend on clothing. Thank you.

    Xiucuo (b. 1986): I am 24 the the mother of two children. I gave birth to my first child when I was 20, and

    now my second child is 2 years old. I am illiterate. I married into my husband's home in this village when I

    was 19 years old. My husband is a farmer. I really liked the toys you provided. They are very good for my

    children. And also the clothing. Thank you very much.

    Guangque Jie (b. 1970): My family consists of my wife, me, and my daughter. My wife is disabled and

    cannot do a lot of farm work. My daughter is 18 and will attend college next fall. We are all very happy, and

    would like to try to support her education. My wife is very good at making small handicrafts which she sells

    and earns a small income. The clothing was very helpful. We will spend less money on clothes and save

    more money for our daughter's educaiton. Thank you.
