Worldbridges web hosting for Tibetans

Jeff Lebow has been providing free, professional-grade web hosting for Tibetan and Mongol websites for the past eight years, at www.worldbridges.com, and Tibetan webcasting at www.tibetanbridges.com.

• See about WorldBridges at worldbridges.net/About_Worldbridges)

When there were only a few sites, this was easy for Jeff to cover on the same server with his education sites. But now he is paying for a full server just for our sites (over 80 at last count)!
(See list of sites at wb.webwalker.to)

You could sponsor hosting for a website, or even pay for a full month of server — donate through Paypal

Please Contact Tibetan Geeks for more information.

equipment

Laptop for Lobsang Monlam

Lobsang Monlam, creator of the Lobsang Bod-Yig (Tibetan font) needs a laptop for continuing his work on the font.

At present he has only a desktop pc. A laptop would help him greatly in being able to work anywhere.

See story about Lobsang Monlam on this site (English), or read about Monlam and the font (Tibetan).

Please Contact Tibetan Geeks for more information

Computers for TCV TibCoders

TibCoders, the TCV students' computer club at Upper TCV, Dharamshala needs systems and hardware to learn web, programming and network on.

• six desktops and/or laptops so they all can practice in the limited time they have in the day.
• six flash drives so they can carry their work between computers at TCV cyber and TCV computer lab.

At present (April 2007) there are six students sharing one laptop running windows 98. There is one more computer available, but no monitor for it. This situation is not workable, and has caused the classes to be discontinued for the time being.

Please Contact Tibetan Geeks for more information.

Equipment for Lobsang's Office

The new Lobsang's Office needs desktops, laptops, a printer, a scanner, a projector, and help with rent and supplies.

Lobsang's Office has finally started, after years of dreaming. Its purpose is to provide a place for local Tibetans to learn web and media technologies, at no charge.

Please see Lobsang's Office page for more information, and contact Lobsang. You can donate through Paypal or through the Institute of Conscious Change

Computers and Equipment for Gonjang Monastery

Gonjang Monastery in Gangtok, Sikkim, needs six computers, printer, scanner, and related equipment to use for input and printing of pecha for their shetra, as well as for teaching computer to monks and local residents.

Please Contact Himalayan IT for more information.

Computers and Equipment for Himalayan IT Education

An IT teaching team is going to Ravangla settlement and Gangtok in Sikkim, and Darjeeling in WB, to teach beginning and advanced web development and general computer use. Ravangla settlement badly needs computers for the students to learn on, internet connection, and associated equipment. The teachers need room, board and travel expenses, mobiles with gprs, and teaching materials.

You can donate through Institute of Conscious Change donation page, with more info about ICC's help at Tibetan MultiMedia Project ICC page and ICC donations page

translating

Tibetan Translators for webwalker.to and tibetangeeks.com

Many Tibetans are learning and using IT, but are forced to learn things in English. It would much benefit Tibetans as individuals, and also Tibetan culture and its preservation, if this information could be in the Tibetan language.

TibetanGeeks.Com and WebWalker.to has much info especially geared towards Tibetans, but so far this info is all in English.

If you can translate english into clear, readable tibetan, and have some spare time, your help would be of great value to Tibetans. If you don't have computer knowledge, this is not a problem — we can help you learn as you translate!

Please Contact Tibetan Geeks for more information.
