Pencho and Tsering Rabgey, and their daughters Losang and Tashi, created Machik, a non-profit organization that provides educational opportunities, health care, safe drinking water and an adequate food supply to the people of Chungba, Tibet. Starting with seed money from the couple’s retirement fund, this dedicated family inspired an outpouring of generosity from their home community of Lindsay and the Tibetan diaspora in North America. Their efforts have raised the standard of living and a community’s hopes halfway around the world.
