Thekchen Choling Outrreach connects to the community at large through service, sports and outreach activities with care and love. One of our main community service project is B.E.S.A.R Project, (previously known as Project Maude) , a food rations project in collaboration with Jalan Besar Citizen's Consultative Committee. Project Maude was started when the temple moved to Beatty Lane in 2007. Namdr
ol Rinpoche has noticed that there were many low-income families and elderly folk living in the area. Soon enough, an initiative to help them was conceived – Project Maude was born in December 2007, named after Maude Road where many of these low-income families are located.Given the rising food prices recently, Thekchen Choling hopes to lend a helping hand to the needy by distributing food rations to them. The care-packages comprise of household essentials such as rice, cooking oil, canned food and daily necessities like towels and toothbrushes. From the initial number of 500 packs of rations, we have increased the number of ration packs to 1000 since 2010. With this, we have benefited more than 1000 residents each time in Jalan Besar area.
