Although children's education will continue to be the focus of our sponsorship program, we've decided to expand our sponsorship to include destitute Tibetan elders.
Family ties are strong in Tibetan communities and children often take care of their elderly parents, but there are many exiled elders who have lost their families and live alone. Life can be very difficult and lonely for the elderly without children to help support them. TCEF created the Grandparent sponsorship to address the needs of these elderly folks.
Sponsoring a “grandparent” for $25 a month is a wonderful opportunity to bring comfort to a lonely, destitute elder. The funds are used to improve the quality of their later years and assist with such expenses as medical care, eye care, clothing, etc and perhaps will enable a spiritual pilgrimage to a holy Buddhist site.

"Those letters from the kids I sponsor just bring me to tears. They are so open, honest, and earnest--if all people in the world could express themselves so well, it would be a better place."
"For me it is so little to give-just $35 per month. It is money that almost buys nothing in America or Europe and that could be easily squandered without notice. For this family, it is so much. It is a chance for Ludoe's future. What I give seems so small, but it comes back in the form of such big fulfilment. The love and respect that his family gives me in return is enormous. Even his little grandmother with her two white braids takes her own antique silver and turquoise ring off her finger and gives it to Ludoe so he would have a gift to present me with."
