KATMANDU, JUNE 19 (China Tibet Online) On the afternoon of Jun.19, 2015, the Chinese Embassy in Nepal sent 35 new high-quality tents to Tibetans living in Nepal, which is being called "timely help" by the Tibetans.

According to the Counselor Gonpo, after the earthquake on Apr. 25, the Chinese Embassy in Nepal had contacted the local Tibetans immediately to find out if they were safe.

The Chinese embassy also had bought relief goods worth 1.1 million rupees for the quake-hit Tibetans, including rice, mineral water, instant noodles, biscuits, beverages, butter, edible oil, and blanket, which broke the normal procedure. At the same time, officials of the Chinese Embassy sent those goods to the 36 households of local Tibetans from door to door, and handed out the goods to the makeshift tents and shelters in the Bodata Tibetan Community. They as well went to the hospital to see the wounded Tibetans in 14 households，paid visits to five monasteries of Tibetan Buddhism and offices of three Tibetan organizations.

The Counselor Gonpo said that the next step will be to use the spirit of the Central United Front Work Conference as a guide, to continue to carry out warmhearted activities, raise funds to help Tibetans in Nepal to rebuild, coordinate as much as possible, guide domestic relief funds and projects towards Tibetans in Nepal, and to provide equipment for Tibetan Buddhist monasteries, Tibetan-run modern hospitals, schools, Tibetan medicine clinics, and other facilities. Meanwhile, the embassy should make use of existing policies and measures to do their best to meet the needs of Tibetans in Nepal and to provide help and assistance for them to return home to visit, for their businesses, and for their religious needs.
