> 1. Brief introduction of KKA.
>
> (1) What is KKA?
>
> KKA is an NGO dedicated to improving the living condition of remote Kham 
> Tibetan areas through local small-scale development projects with a 
> particular interest in health care, cultural preservation, education, 
> environmental conservation, school libraries, and reducing the work 
> associated with fuel collection.
>
>
> (2) What Does KKA Mean?
>
> Khams (K) is the Tibetan name for the eastern third of the Tibetan 
> plateau. While the culture and history of Khams are closely connected to 
> central Tibet, the region has many special features. Khampas are known for 
> their rich, diverse culture. Kampo (K) is a sacred mountain located in 
> Lithang County in the south of Gartze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. The 
> goal of KKA is to improve living conditions in the poorest and remotest 
> Tibetan areas by cooperating with different organizations, charities, and 
> individuals.

> 2. Volunteer urgently needed.

> KKA is mainly organized by some students in an English and Tibetan program 
> at university in Xining City. We currently have more than 15 proposals and 
> website materials in English that need to be edited. We are searching for 
> a volunteer to edit our proposals and assist with fundraising. If you 
> would like to contribute some of your time to editing, please contact
