Social and Natural Environment

The first project in which TSP are involved, the Gesar Sherab Primary School for children aged 5 - 15, is located in the north-eastern corner of the Tibetan Plateau in the Chinese province of Qinghai (PRC). The people living in this region are nomadic and rely upon their yak and sheep stock for their survival. They don't earn much (about AUS $50 per person per year), and consequently, live a very basic life. They are poor in financial terms but have a reputation for being happy and very hospitable.
