Dear Friends, You will be happy to know that under the Go Green Go Organic movement, we are working on an ambitious project to build artificial glaciers in Ladakh in order to combat the challenge of melting glaciers in the Himalayas. This will not only solve the water crisis among the farmers but also help green deserts in Ladakh and other mountain regions which have water shortage and a cold winter season. This campaign was recently launched by the Governor of Jammu and Kashmir state in India and myself at an International conference on Climate Change. Now on Monday the 20th October we are launching the campaign to support this Ice Stupa Artificial Glacier project on the crowd-funding platform Indiegogo . I shall be very happy if you could spread the word about this campaign among your friends on social media and by forwarding this email. Your contribution however small or big will help the project, and experts say that if significant collection happens in the first three days of the campaign then it helps in making other people take more interest and contribute. All the donations will finally come into the official account of Pheyang Monastery in Ladakh which has government authorization to receive foreign contribution. So I hope very much that together with you and your friends we can make this project a success. This is not just for Pheyang village or Ladakh region but also for the entire Himalayan range and in fact for the rest of the world too. And I feel the Ice Stupa project is not just for the needs of the human beings but also to save the lives of the animals, birds and insects. With best wishes and prayers Drikung Kyabgon Chetsang Pleasedont forget to look for: Ice Stupa Artificial Glacier on Indiegogo or click the link below on 20th October. https://indiegogo/projects/ice-stupa-artificial-glacier/x/8841831 Meanwhile you can watch this short video that has been made by Sonam Wangchuk of SECMOL, our partner in the project.
