This is a “Menstrual Hygiene Project” initiated by my daughter to support women, especially teenagers, living in remote villages in Tibet, India, and Nepal. In these areas, cultural taboos surrounding menstruation cause significant physical and psychological hardship. In male-dominated communities, menstruation is often seen as unclean, barring women from entering temples or kitchens and requiring them to sleep in separate rooms during their cycles. Many girls miss school upon reaching puberty, and worse still, they often lack access to clean sanitary materials, proper hygiene education, or even clean water, putting them at risk of illness and infection. Due to COVID, the project has also extended support to girls in Guatemala through Messengers of Hope.

Brought hundreds of bubble-blowing tubes from the US to create moments of joy at orphanages, senior centers, and Tibetan monasteries. This simple yet magical activity sparked laughter and happiness, creating unforgettable moments for the communities we visited.

Marked our daughter's 2nd birthday with a heartfelt celebration alongside children in the heart of the Safari jungle, creating unforgettable memories.

Initiated "Mindful Waiting," a weekly session inspired by the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program that my husband began teaching voluntarily in Milpitas prison. For over a decade, it has helped inmates navigate challenging times with resilience and hope.

Returned to the Safari jungle to celebrate my daughter's 8th birthday, where we had the privilege of meeting inspiring teachers devoted to bringing education to village children.

Three years later, we returned to visit the wonderful children and inspiring teachers in the Safari. Engaging with the community has become an integral part of our family life, offering particularly meaningful experiences for our daughter. As these visits became routine, strangers transformed into friends, and through these simple yet profound connections, I found a true sense of happiness.

Carried hundreds of bubble-blowing tubes from the US to spark moments of joy at orphanages, senior centers, and Tibetan monasteries.

Witnessing the joy in their eyes reminded me of the boundless power of shared humanity and the beauty of spreading love in its purest form.
