Raise Money to Keep Girls in School
Just Singin’ Round
Mark October 1st on your calendar and come down to the Vancouver Rowing Club for a night of spectacular entertainment, great food and outstanding company! This “Just Singin’ Round” showcase is being presented by The Synergy Collective to support My 100 Percent, and will feature performances by Norman Foote, Chris Ronald, Yvonne McSkimming, Beverley Elliott and Mark James Fortin.
Emelle’s Catering will be delighting us with a scrumptious meal and the Vancouver Rowing Club a spectacular view of the Vancouver waterfront.
Raise Money to Keep Girls in School
Money raised from the event will enable us to add 20 new girls to the Stay-in-School program in Eastern Nepal. The funds will be used for basic school supplies, uniforms required for the public school and general school expenses for the girls that their families cannot afford thus enabling the girls the chance to stay in school. The goal of the program is to reduce the 40% drop out rate after they reach 12 years of age.
Event Schedule
Doors open at 6:00pm sharp – dinner is served from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm – the program starts at 7:40pm and wraps up by 10:00pm.
About Us
My 100 Percent is an all-volunteer Canadian charity with a worldwide mission to end child poverty. We believe the course of individual lives and the world can be profoundly improved through the active practice of love and compassion.
100% of your ticket price goes to the charity, and all of it will be used for the sustainable energy project!
Premium tickets will provide more support for our charity, as well as provide the best seating close to the stage. You can purchase tickets individually, or buy a table (10 tickets) – we encourage you to get a group of friends together and purchase a table of ten – great for a work group or club!
You will receive a donation receipt for the full table/ticket price if purchased through this website. (We are unable to issue a donation receipt for tickets purchased at the door.)
If anyone in your party has special mobility requirements, please call Jhamtse Canada at 905-990-2464 so that we can make the necessary arrangements in advance.
Upcoming ‘Tashi and the Monk’ Screenings
There’s a brave social experiment taking place on a remote mountaintop in the foothills of the Himalaya. A former Buddhist monk is seeking to transform the lives of abandoned children through love and compassion. Tashi is especially vulnerable as she struggles to make friends, and learns that love can help heal even the saddest memories.
Tashi and the Monk continues to wow audiences and film festivals in Canada having won 6 awards to date with additional screenings at the World Community Film Festival Kelowna on March 13, the Lethbridge International Film Festival on March 20, the Banff World Tour in London on March 24/25 and in Toronto on March 29th as well as the Atlantic Film Festival for Youth in Halifax on April 30. Stay tuned for additional screenings of Tashi and the Monk in Ottawa, Squamish, and Thunder Bay as well as gala events in Vancouver and Toronto.
Natural Building Workshop
There is an exciting workshop at Jhamtse Gatsal in the fall of 2015. Participants will learn how to build an earthen house at the Community over an 8 week period. You can learn great skills and participate in building at the Children’s Community.
If you are interested in learning more about this please check the link and contact Coenraad, James, or Kate from House Alive. Spots are limited.
A Successful Screening in Québec
On December 30, 2014, Louise Abbott, Niels Jensen and the volunteers at Studio Georgeville cooperative located at 20 carré Copp, Georgeville, Québec hosted a “Tashi and the Monk” movie night. The goal was to raise awareness about the Jhamtse Gatsal Children’s Community. The evening was a great success and an appreciative audience contributed to make a donation to Jhamtse Canada. Our thanks goes to Louise, Niels and others who made this event possible. Well done!!!
Tashi and the Monk wins Best Film: Mountain Culture
On November 8 and 9 in Banff, Alberta the movie Tashi and the Monk was shown to over 2,500 people at the Banff Mountain Film Festival. The movie wowed the audiences and the judges as it was awarded the Best Film: Mountain Culture. Presenting the award to Director Johnny Burke is Candice Drouin, from sponsor Helly Hansen, along with Jeff Jenner from Jhamtse Canada. Tashi and the Monk will now be part of the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour with screenings across Canada over the next four months and around the world during the next year. We are looking for volunteers to be Jhamtse Gatsal ambassadors during these screenings, so if you’d love to help, please give us a call.
