Tibetan language Children books

朋友介绍下刚找到国外一个研究生办的组织

Tibetan Art and Literature Initiative (TALI)

http://www.talitibet.org/projects.html

他们找经费在国内(青海)出版一些藏文的儿童书

由藏族的艺术家做设计插画

派发到国内藏区的小学

已经联系上他们

需然上一次出版的两本已经没存货

想订想买也买不到

但是他们说年中再出的几本新的故事书

可以把"草原学校"也列在派发的名单上

这真是个好消息 !

Through a friend, I was introduced to:

TALI: Tibetan Art and Literature Initiative

(http://www.talitibet.org/projects.html).

TALI publishes Tibetan language children books inside China (Qinghai) and then distribute the books freely to Tibetan primary school in Tibetan area. Eventhough the last 2 children books they published last year are all out of stock, they are very please to include the grassland school into the distribution list when they have a few more books which are scheduled to be published later this year.

What a good news!

In the meanwhile, we will try to collect children books (story books/ picture books) from anyone (English/ Chi) and bring some to the school during Easter.

Pictures from TALI at other tibetan school in China

Simple children books! learn Eng, pic books for word...

Someone who have experince doing such project has given the following comments:

"Many thanks for your message. I am glad you are undertaking this important task. My congratulations to you and all friends involved in helping this school...

...Finally, regarding sending books from HK, I think they may want to have certain simple books to learn English, for example, like picture books with words. Maybe you can find bilingual Chinese-English ones. Dictionaries may be useful as well. Science or geography picture books could be also useful. But it is hard to say without knowing exactly the curriculum they follow. I usually send the books in English from here and they open them, take a look, close the boxes and let them arrive to their destination. I have not had trouble with this yet. I did not write any letter either. As long as the books are for children it should be OK."

A call for Book donation

Happy belated Losar (tibetan word of Tibetan new year)
also Happy belated CNY of rat! and Happy 2008!

It's been a while for this site to be updated.
Finally I have almost completed my research study at uni. Will surely update the site very soon.
In the meanwhile, please find the following the latest happening!
6 people from HK will be visiting the grassland school Easter next month. And we would like to take this opportunity to call for book donation. Adding more personal touch to what you can participate. Demo Shi! Tashi Delek!
