Conversational English Tutoring
Each year, more and more people come to Dechin to see Mount Kawa Karpo or
trek the pilgrimage circle. Among these people, a large fraction of
them are westerners. To local taxi drivers, hostel owners and merchants,
the language barriers start to pose as a great challenge. Travelers
on our Mount Kawa Karpo Trekking tours will spend two nights with local
people and provide English tutoring.

tourists brought in large quantity non-degradable trash such as plastics. And yet there hasn't been an infra-structure to deal with
the trash.

Projects in Seattle
You don't have to travel to join us. At home in Seattle, we need
helping hands too. Throughout the year, we participate in local
street fairs, raise funds for the ethnic communities we visited, help
indigenous people sell their art work, and present educational slideshows
to the public. Let us know if you'd like to participate. We would
appreciate it very much!
