Dearly Departed Tom Barr, pictured above, died in June of 2022. He dedicated his last 25 years to volunteering for the Tibetan Children’s Village (TCV). Click here for an article about Tom's life. Ron Fowler (Antlrz), also pictured above, died August 23, 2013. He was a close LHA advisor from its origins in 1997 until his death. His time, skills and resources helped guide LHA to become what it is today. Upon his death, we found he willed his house to LHA. It is now a steady income source - 100% of revenue generated by this house goes directly to Tibetans in Dharamsala for LHA programs! Our deepest gratitude goes to Antlrz for all he offered while he was alive, and for consciously planning a way for his resources to benefit others after his death.
