The Munsel School Project

Please visit the project website at: www.munselschool.org

High in the mountains of Nangchen region of Western Kham are small villages of nomadic yak herders and subsistance farmers. Leaders and parents of 4 villages approached the president of Munsel Foundation, Khenpo Gawang,and asked him to build a school for their children. Since then permission and support has been given by the government, regional and local officials. Land has been found and a building plan has been developed by the local project manager.

Munsel Foundation has been active in the development of this project since January 2006. We will work with the local staff of Munsel School Project to provide account- ability for donors, support for the project manager, Khenpo Tsewang, assist in securing grants and developing partnerships with other non-profits working in the area and monitor the project. Under an earlier grant, we will provide the website to keep donors and interested people informed of the school's progress.

All donations are tax-exempt according to the laws of the Internal Revenue Service. Please contact us if you have any questions or would like more information.

The Vietnam Project

Please visit the project website at: www.foodaid.com

Relief Services In Vietnam works with religious, social, governmental, and community based organizations and with individuals. RSV projects are chosen because they are helpful in a real and specific way.

We look for projects that are not presently funded or are under funded. We look for people who have the skills, the desire and a commitment to making a difference in the lives of those who need help. Sometimes when we find a need and no one to help...we do it ourselves.

Ly Nguyen is the principal project manager for Vietnam. She makes multiple trips each year finding new projects, checking on existing projects, and making sure each and every gift from a donor is given with care and love. Look for her in the project pictures as she has been to every one we support.

When ever possible Ly likes to personally help with the projects.... giving cash but also giving time, effort and attention. Through Ly, and others who accompany her on these trips, the gifts to the people of Vietnam are not faceless checks but warm gestures of assistance from real people
