Nawang Gets her computer

Just thought I would share this to those of you who have supported Tibetech and the work we are seeking to do. Andrea is not this woman's "sponsor" per say. We met Nawang on a March 10th walk years ago and Andrea has befriended her...
We resolved to get her a computer but did not know how that was going to transpire. I committed to getting her a computer by June. I know she is in Oakland by herself and all her family is in India. The same day Andrea and I hatched our plan I was walking down the street and I saw a sign on a business for a computer system for $175... so I checked it out. For $175
I picked up a complete Dell Desktop System, Pentium3, 80GB Hard drive with Windows 2000...

Dear Melanie,
My name is Nawang C_______. I am a Tibetan Refugee and I live in Oakland, CA. I received an email from my friend Andrea Sedin that you have chosen to donate a computer to me. I am speechless!!! I feel I am a very fortunate person at this time to be writing to your organization. Words are not enough to describe how lucky I feel and how blessed I am to be receiving this gift from your organization. From what I learned from my friend Andrea your organization is a non profit organization that helps Tibetan cause as well as Tibetans. I have heard of many such organizations who offer help or assist Tibetans in general. I for one, never thought I would be benefiting from any of this. Personally I am grateful to your organization as well as all the other organization that is working for Tibetan causes and helping needy Tibetan people. I am sure with this gift from Tibetech I will be able to achieve something positive. It would be my contact to outside world which is now more open than the horizon itself hope to make very good use of it. I can keep in touch with my family and friends who are all scattered around the world as refugees would. I can find out about Tibetans all around the world. I would like to thank you and your organization for making this dream of mine come true. I hope you realize that I will ever remain grateful to your organization for the generous gift.
I can not wait to receive it!!
Thanking you and Tashi Delek,
Sincerely,
Nawang.
