Give me a good home!

Sojaaaam and positive energies to everyone!  I wanted to let everyone know about a fantastic event at the MSPCA November 5 and 6 (this weekend!)  The MSPCA cares for thousands of homeless cats every year.  Most of these cats are adults over the age of one.  While kittens are adopted quickly, adult cats often remain homeless for weeks or even months before finding a forever home.  Some generous sponsors have provided the MSPCA with enough funds to run a special “fee-waived” adoption promotion.  At the “Fall in Love” adoptathon, all adoption fees for adult cats (one year and older) are waived.

The MSPCA’s “Fall in Love” promotion highlights the advantages of adopting an adult cat with a known personality, and encourages potential adopters to give an adult cat a new forever home.  Taking care of an animal is not only rewarding, but it can lead owners to discover more about themselves and develop positive characteristics in their mind, body, and soul.  If you would like to adopt a cat, or would like to make a donation to support the MSPCA and the good work they do for animals, drop by any MSPCA location this weekend.

A Library for LamSang Language School (Lhasa)

The goal of this project is to provide books for the LamSang Language School in Lhasa, the capital of Tibet, in China. The LamSang Language School works with Tibetan children and teenagers with limited economic resources who wish to learn the English language, so that they can have the opportunity to gain better employment inside Tibet and China, including work as Tourist Guides around Tibet.
At this moment the school does not have a library at all, and it is very difficult for the school to provide material and books for the students to use.

What kind of books are needed:
In general, the school is in desperate need of English language books for beginner Students. For example:
1.-Grammar & Dictionaries: English grammar books for beginning students. Dictionaries for beginning students; English to English (The Oxford English Dictionary for Beginning Students is very good).
2.-Beginner Reading: Easy stories (stories in English with 700 to 2000 words). Simple books, like Chicken Soup for the Soul (a collection of short inspirational stories and motivational essays), as well as books classified as ‘High Interest Low Level.’
3.-General Knowledge: Books about general knowledge: basic science (not science text books), biographies, of famous people, etc.
4.- Advanced Classics: In the future, the idea will be to have a complete library, including classics. However, this is the least important category now, because the idea is to focus on books for beginning students of English.

Note: If you have any suggestions for additions to the list, please send a note!

How to help:
You can help by donating funds to the TAA so they can buy the books directly, by purchasing a book and mailing it directly to Lhasa, or by purchasing from the Tibetan Altruism wishlist on Amazon.

1. Direct monetary donations to the TAA:
via Direct Bank Transfer:
Name: Tu Deng (Thupten Norbu, Director TAA)
Bank account number-4563517900002386134
Bank name – BANK OF CHINA TIBET BRANCH
Bank Swift code number-BKCHCNBJ900Bank Address-No.28 LINKUO – WEST ROAD – LHASA

via Western Union:
Name: Tu Deng (Thupten)
ID card number-513332198312262816 LHASA – Tibet, China
(Thupten Norbu, director of TAA, will purchase the books form within China. This option is good because the books are shipped inside China)

2. Buy a book, or choose a book that you already have, and send it to this address:

• Name: THUPTEN NORBU
• Address: Bei Jiao Hua Yuan Xio QuD Qu / 2 Dong 3 Dan Yuan 401 Hao
• City: Lhasa
• County: Tibet (TAR)
• Postcode: 850000
• Country: CHINA
• Phone: 15889088858

Note: It is not necessary to send many books: 1 or 2 at a time is ideal, as it is less expensive for you to ship and less complicated for the TAA to receive.

3. Amazon Account and Wish List:
The TAA also has an account with amazon.com, where there is a wish list with some recommendations of practical and useful books. All you need to do is select and buy a book; it will be automatically shipped directly to Lhasa.
How to do it:
1. Go to the Tibetan Altruism Association’s Amazon Wishlist
2. Pick a book from one the 4 lists that you will find (Grammar & Dictionaries, Beginner Reading, General Knowledge, Advanced Classics)
3. Put the book in your cart and purchase it.

What kind of books you should not send:
Please take care not to send any books about politics or religion. This is very important for the proper development of this project. If you have any doubt about whether or not a book is appropriate, please contact the TAA directly.

PLEASE NOTE: WE CANNOT ACCEPT BOOK DONATIONS AT THE SCHOOL.

This project is sponsored by the TAA (Tibetan Altruism Association)

First up, a free acupuncture session with Heather Lance of Lance Acupuncture. Heather studied acupuncture in Boston and China, and is also an assistant teacher of Boabom!

Second, we have a gift certificate to Bodily Kneads, on Linden St. in Brookline Village! Bodily Kneads is an open and welcoming healing arts studio that offers various kinds of massage, along with Acupuncture and other kinds of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Last but not least, we have a free treatment from Chiropractic Physician and neighbor of the school Dr. Aaron Drouin, DC. Dr. Drouin, along with two other therapists, has recently opened a new studio in the same building as the school, and we’re very happy to have their positive energy just down the hall!

So we’ll see you tomorrow, 4pm at Larz Anderson, RAIN or SHINE, and we look forward to having a great afternoon of Boabom, food, and an excellent raffle!
