Flip goods for good!
A volunteer is needed who is skilled in the lovely art of reselling goods! All items have been donated for the purpose of selling them to raise funds for our non-profit. Some of the items to be sold are furniture, home accessories, art, jewelry and clothing. We would have you sell on platforms like eBay or Craigslist possibly different auction houses. Many things that we are selling are for a niche clientele. May take some skill and creativity to sell these items.
Of particular interest is finding a buyer for an exquisite 26' x 37' 8" carpet. This will take a unique buyer such as a ranch, lodge, estate or conference center. We have a short marketing video.
Come see the items that we have lined up, take some photos and from there work remotely, except for periodic progress meetings at our offices, which a tasty vegetarian lunch or dinner. There is free parking.

Mission Statement
For over fifty years, the Tibetan Aid Project (TAP) has dedicated its efforts to restoring and preserving Tibet's cultural and spiritual heritage. Working with an all-volunteer staff, the Project has served as a bridge between donors in the West and the Tibetan people.
Description
Tibetan Aid Project is a part of the Nyingma Mandala, a Buddhist community based in the U.S. and rooted in the Nyingma lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. We fund the production, shipment and free distribution of sacred texts, art and prayer wheels to monasteries and individuals in the Himalayan region. We also sponsor ceremonies, retreats for healing professionals, and provide financial support for monastic centers, lamas, monks, nuns and lay people. We strive to promote awareness of these significant teachings through our work-study program providing participants the opportunity to share their skills, while also gaining an understanding of work as meditative practice. This allows us to learn through direct experience, developing a heart connection that permeates throughout all experience,
Tibetan Lama Tarthang Tulku founded the community in 1969 in Berkeley, California and continues to lead it today. Since the beginning, the Nyingma community has engaged in many projects to preserve Tibetan culture and share the Buddhist teachings. Our community refers to these projects collectively as a mandala of organizations because each one embodies a specific quality that supports, balances, and enhances the others, as well as the community as a whole. The Nyingma Association of Mandala Organizations (NAMO) is comprised of the following Berkeley-based organizations: Nyingma Institute, Mangalam Center, Dharma College, Tibetan Aid Project, Guna Foundation. NAMO also includes other centers located in rural Sonoma County and worldwide.
