How We Go About Things

The Golog Support Foundation consists off a European group, and a group in Golog. In Europe there are Golog Support groups in the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Ireland that raise the necessary funding. The Golog Support Group in Tibet is comprised totally of local nomads who initiate and run projects.

Our way of working combines both Tibetan and Western perspectives. Think globally, act locally is a motto that applies to the Tibetan approach to work. The Tibetan way of working is characterised by Buddhism, and is typified by the following:

1. Long-term vision includes several generations, rather than several years.
2. Goals and plans are based on a holistic global vision. Everything is interdependently related, and nothing can be left out of this.
3. Get to work immediately. Rather than planning in advance and then acting, improvise accordingly as you go.

It is a wonderful challenge for us to continually incorporate both Tibetan and Western visions. In so doing, we’re building a better future for Tibetans, especially for the younger generations.
