It is very heart warming when your endeavors are acknowledged. The Rotary Club of Thimphu has been supporting a number of schools, communities and farmer groups for the past few years.
In grateful appreciation, one community had sent us bags of rice grown from the fields we had helped protect from wild life predation, through the installation of solar fencing. Another had delivered sack-load of watermelons that they grew from the farm they tilled with the tractor and power tiller we donated. And yesterday, I received the following mail from a farmers’ group from Chhukha, expressing their gratitude for our donation of a delivery van that helped them market their farm produce.
It certainly is heartwarming that Rotary Club of Thimphu is bringing benefit and change to those who stand in need.

Respected sir,
The entire team of Greenhands would like to firstly express our heartfelt gratitude to Sir and Rotary Club of Thimphu as a whole for supporting us with a marketing van (Mahindra Bolero Pik-up Van) last August.
We are indeed pleased to inform RCT that with the supported provided we are able to supply vegetables and other local farm produce to Phuntsholing Thromday besides helping other farmers market their farm produce through our marketing channel.
The primary objective of the marketing channel is to institutionalize a sustainable marketing channel for local farm produce and promote ethical buying practice with the locality of Phuntsholing.
With the help of the Marketing Van, we were able to establish a new marketing channel using online portal for our customers in Phuntsholing. Using our online portal (Wechat group and Google form) we receive pre-orders from our customer and subsequently individual packages are being prepared and delivered at their convenience. As of now, we are able to deliver our products to officials of 8 government and corporate offices. In addition, we are also able to recruit few new members to our team.
We are optimistic and hopeful that with support and guidance from Sir Sangay Thinley (Economic Development Officer, Chhukha), we'll be provided with financial support through PSL and will be able to open a distribution point at Phuntsholing Thromday which will further help us increase our customer base, sales and at the same time create more employment opportunities.
With Much Gratitude
Kinnzang
