Halfway to completion

We are very happy to be able to announce that the Drala Jong fund is more than halfway towards its target of £500,000.

In June we received an anonymous donation of £40,000 which took us way over the halfway mark and well on our way towards £300,000. We are most grateful to this anonymous donor and hope that they will be happy when Drala Jong is established.  They have greatly helped to make this happen in the near future.

We are grateful to all donors who are supporting our work there really is no amount that is too small - or too large - to be of significance to us. Many people are now donating small monthly sums rather than one-off donations.  It is good to see regular progress in the growth of the appeal fund.

All monies donated for Drala Jong are held by Charities within the lineage and will only be used for the purpose of establishing this residential retreat centre.

If you feel inspired by the lineage do please  donate to help create Drala Jong. 



The Drala Jong project seeks to create a home for the Aro gTér Lineage. Please see the Appeal page for more information about the Drala Jong project and how to help.
