Tara Foundation

Dateline Dehradun: We tell ourselves so many stories.. so here’s to telling ourselves a beautiful one.

The Tara Foundation founded in 2015, Dehradun  is  a registered Public Charitable Trust.  “The Trust was formed with a vision for  world of peace, harmony and well-being. It aims to propagate compassion, loving-kindness, and wisdom that enables people of all ages, cultures, and traditions to lead a happy and meaningful life and to be of service to all sentient beings,” expresses Ms Tsering Chozom Luding, Chairperson of Tara Foundation.

And working on those principles, the Foundation recently came forward to seek help  for a childless elderly couple, who worked as daily labourer and house-help but given their age and falling health were now confined to their rental room and finding it difficult to make ends meet. Then, there was Neeraj, a cobbler in Rajpur who had spent his meagre savings on his daughter’s treatment whom he lost last November. With a constant threat from loan sharks, he made an appeal for help via Tara Foundation who helped him to raise funds and pay off some portion of his pending loan.

Neeraj looking for help from all quarters

And these are just some of the people whom the Foundation has reached out to. “We get calls or messages from people seeking help either for themselves or those they know. I personally go and investigate the case and only then, the team sets into action. We see how we can help, from ration, tools, rental or even cash at times is distributed as a source of relief to those who seek,” Chozom adds.

Since its inception in 2015, the Trust has helped better umpteen lives and focussed their work in core areas: Education /Health and Social Welfare/Environment/Animal well-being /Economic empowerment.

From making upcycled school bags from discarded robes by monks and nuns to clean up drives in Dehradun. Personally tending to abandoned animals. Repairing boundary wall and gates of a primary school to beautification of drinking water facility, scholarship for students, nature walks are just a few of the activities that the Foundation is regularly credited for.

Well-known for her unique social work Tsering Chozom Luding, even sold her jewellery to fund the Foundation. Today, recognition has come in many forms. She has been conferred with “Certificate of appreciation” from Citizens of Green Doon in 2010, ‘Citizen Exemplary Award’ at the Rajpur Nature Festival in 2019. In 2023 she was honoured with the award of ‘Social Impactor’ under Uttarakhand Educator’s Award. On International women’s day this year, she also received ‘Certificate of Appreciation from Inner wheel club, Dehradun. But she feels, “the biggest recognition that I have ever received is being able to help, assist and touch lives in whatever way I can.”

Shekinah with her father Vikas

Dateline Dehradun:  In a world often overshadowed by tales of hardship and struggle, a guiding light of hope emerged when Shekinah Mukhiya and her father Vikas Mukhiya organized an online fundraiser for a terminally ill patient Bikash Tamang battling rectal cancer at Tata Memorial Hospital in Kolkata.

When Bikash Tamang’s wife, Bhawana Thapa, reached out to Shekinah a few days back seeking assistance in raising 5 lakh rupees for Bikash’s urgent surgery, having exhausted all financial avenues, little did she know that a miracle was waiting to happen.  Without hesitation, the father-daughter duo accepted the cause. They used their social media reach to illuminate Bikash’s plight and the fundraiser resonated with hearts worldwide.

Helping lives

Through captivating Facebook and Instagram Live sessions, enhanced with soul-stirring melodies and heart-touching narratives, they embarked on a campaign to raise money for the Tamang family. The constant support of Reza Abdulla Khan  and Sanjeev Newpaney, Sikkim helped the duo to reach their goal within a short span.

Their heartfelt performances went beyond borders, captivating the attention of compassionate souls from around the globe. In a remarkable display of solidarity, individuals came forward, offering their contributions through online channels. Within just four days of relentless dedication and hard work,  each chord that the duo strummed and sang hit home the noble cause.  The Mukhiya’s succeeded in gathering 2 lakh rupees, evidence of the unstoppable spirit of humanity, kindness and generosity.

Yet this journey has a long way to go.  As Bikash Tamang’s battle against cancer endures, and his need for financial support remains, they maintain hope that there will be help from all quarters.

Even in the past this father-daughter duo have extended a helping hand to strangers in need, they have symbolized the essence of love, compassion, and selflessness. Theirs is a story that rises above the boundaries of mere kindness, echoing the resounding truth that ‘kindness knows no bounds.’

More power to them!
