Positive evaluation of the pilot project and future perspectives

In September 2017, KBDF launched a pilot project in new areas of the Tibetan Plateau : Sichuan and Qinghai provinces. Last December, the Belgian team realized a field visit to evaluate the implementation in both provinces and brought back very good news!

A few greenhouses were built in Sichuan and work very well despite harsh climatic conditions (-15°C at night). Now people can have fresh vegetable at 4,500 high during wintertime (unbelievable without greenhouse)! What an improvement for the daily diet of the children!

   

In Qinghai, the project was focused on hygiene and health promotion. Several training sessions were given and basic hygiene articles (basin, underwear, soap, etc.)) were distributed to the participants. KBDF team met some of them who expressed their enthusiasm and their willingness to have more activities like this!

     

The pilot project was then a good success for KBDF, who desires to continue to implement such activities in these areas. More details here!

Closing of the project in T.A.R. and launch of a pilot project on the Tibetan Plateau

After the release of the new Chinese law about international NGO’s, we were constrained to close down our project in Tibet Autonomous Regions last June, after 25 years of work… Despite the incomprehension and the deception, the Belgian team decided to not give up and to continue its commitment towards the Tibetan population.

This is why these last months, we have designed a new project in close collaboration with new Tibetan partners. The first phase will be a trial on greenhouse construction, basic health and hygiene promotion, as well as training on nutrition. The project location will be Qinghai and Sichuan provinces and the implementation will start in September 2017.

KBD Fund at the BANFF Mountain Film Festival

The BANFF Mountain Film Festival is a festival of short films that stage intrepid persons in vertiginous setting.

For the 2017 edition, KBD Fund team was in Brussels for 2 nights (March 16^th-17^th) in order to present the organization and its project. The goal was to raise awareness among “mountain lovers” of what can be the living conditions of populations living on high plateaus.

Thank you to all the BANFF staff and volunteers! It was a great experience and hope we could repeat it next year!

Cooking class

 

In May, our fervent supporter Dominique decided to “renew the experience” after the success of the charity lunch in December. That’s why she organized two cooking classes whose profits have been entirely donated to KBDF.

 

Both events took place in the private kitchen of “la Rose Noire” in Hong Kong and gathered 15 participants.

Thanks to their generosity and Dominique’s dedication, HKD 11,000 HKD (€ 1,250) were given to KBDF and will be directly used to strengthen preventive measures in Tibetan villages.

        

 A big thank you to everyone!

Charity Lunch

In December, our two big supporters in Hong-Kong, Dominique and Benedicte, made us an early Christmas gift. They organized a lunch in favour of KBD Fund.

With Benedicte as “master of ceremonies” and Dominique as chef, a group of 17 women had the chance to enjoy a delicious “Foie gras” lunch, as well as to discover our activities. A big success!!

   

                   

A big and warm thank you to Benedicte and Dominique and to every generous participant!

2011年1月， 比利时   Liege   大学化学分析试验室的负责人 Georges Lognay 教授到拉萨十天，他来拉萨的目的是为了给自治区疾控中心试验室人员提供培训。几名地方病试验室的专家也参加了培训，参训人员对专家的培训感到非常满意，表达了希望能够再次参加这样的培训的愿望

2011年1月21日， 西藏自治区疾病预防控制中心和西藏大骨节病基金会合作项目双方负责人，西若绕登主任和芳索斯.马修博士共同签订了未来2年的合作协议。自治区卫生厅，自治区外事办公室项目办和疾病预防控制中心的领导也参加了协议签字仪式。

2010年12月，由第三方专家组成的评估组对项目进行了评估，评估活动由西藏自治区疾控中心和大骨节病基金会联合实施，评估活动还包括了在项目点的现场评估活动。评估组的评估结论是积极的，高度认可了项目给当地人带来的利益，特别是给儿童带来的利益。 

评估是我们项目协议续签必须经过的一个环节。

   项目的合作伙伴,西藏自治区疾控中心立即派遣了一支由中心主任带领的救援队伍,同时,我们决定给玉树县的果青和甘达两个行政村所属的22个自然村,包括大约700户和2447人发送灾区急需的传统干粮糌粑.

    三天的时间内,大骨节病基金会在拉萨购买了7屯糌粑, ２５日基金会职员央宗女士随着装满糌粑的大卡车前往玉树, 经过３天的行程后到达玉树县，当他们到达后区疾控中心救援队帮助她在两天的时间内将糌粑直接发放到了所有村民手中

   我们仍然在关注灾情的救援情况.

  你们的支持才使这一小小的帮助成为可能, 我们真诚的感谢你的支持和帮助!

我们的合作伙伴疾病预防控制中心的主任西绕若登，卫生厅和外事办公室的领导于2009年11月10日对项目在拉萨市所属林周县的项目点进行了视察，整个视察过程中的气氛非常愉悦，大家对项目所实施的各项活动都非常感兴趣.

为受灾区儿童送温暖

 
2009年10月6日在西藏西北发生了6.6级地震，地震中心离拉萨80公里的当雄县。我们已工作了15年多的尼木县续迈乡也受到此次地震的损失。

此次地震造成了10人遇难，50多人受伤，伤员在人民医院和军区医院得到了有效的治疗。

许多房子与学校倒塌，5000多人被迫在帐篷内过冬。

大骨节病基金会给2所寄宿学校学生提供了保暖的衣服、手套、帽子及鞋子。
