Donate to One Heart Tibet!

What do cosmic cupcakes have to do with Tibet?

… Absolutely nothing. But my 25th birthday is coming up and in lieu of a gift, I’m asking for donations for One Heart Tibet, which works to save Tibetan women and children located in the Tibetan Autonomous Region of the People’s Republic of China.

The Tibetan society is one of the few in the world where there is no tradition of trained birth attendants. Poor nutrition, lack of trained health personnel, long travel distances, and limited access to emergency care place Tibetan women and infants at high risk of birth-related deaths. The vast majority of births take place at high altitude, in a cold environment, and without access to electricity or health care. More than 95% of Tibetan women give birth at home. Most babies are delivered with the help only of the mother or the mother-in-law whose sole assistance is the cutting of the cord. Amazingly, many Tibetan women deliver their babies completely on their own.

You don’t need to have a facebook in order to donate, and even though it will ask you to donate $25, you are able to donate less (or more!) money. The money goes straight to One Heart Tibet.

I chose One Heart Tibet because it’s not one of the big popular causes, and people gravitate towards photos of children, especially Tibetan children.

And who wouldn’t? 🙂
