Our Director: Venerable Bardor Tulku Rinpoche
Under the direction of Bardor Tulku Rinpoche, teams of volunteers assemble from all over the world and come together for missions to benefit villages in impoverished and remote areas of Eastern Tibet.
Our 2011 Volunteers: People from All Walks of Life.
We are doctors, nurses, carpenters, Tibetan villagers, office workers, students and everyday donors who make these missions not only possible, but sustainable.
As we are a 501c3 charity, your donations are deductible as allowed by law. With no administrative costs, your money goes directly to benefit the people we serve. Our volunteers pay all their own expenses and donate their time, talent and supplies to help improve the lives of villagers in remote areas of Eastern Tibet, many of whom have never seen a doctor.

Kirk Moulton is Project Director for the Medical Clinic Project. In his other life he practices acupuncture at his Healing Junction Clinic in Chicago. Through the use of Chinese herbal medicine and other alternative medical interventions, he was able to help many people on the last mission to Tibet. Kirk is looking to put together teams that will go to Tibet to help build the new clinic and offer medical services to the area around Raktrul. If you have an interest to help, in any way, please contact Kirk at acukirk@juno.com

In, 2011 The Raktrul Foundaiton helped to bring Dr. Hannah Karlin to Tibet. With your help we purchased a mobile dental clinic. In addition to treating patients, Dr. Karlin trained local people to do cleanings and extractions, thus dramatically improving the quality of life for all the people in the greater Raktrul area.
Dr. Illya Szilak treated villagers and provided education on the importance of prevention and self care. The Foundation's efforts to build out a permanent clinic, provide a mobile dental unit will benefit as many as thirty thousand people who are currently without services.
Solar Power Team:
We thank Todd Koelmel of Solar Generation for his invaluable assistance in fundraising as well as providing solare power to those who have never had electricity.
