The most important thing for our organization is to make the opportunity to share the wisdom of nomads and farmers living deep in the mountains with visitors and to help local people's study. Even though they have the
good traditions and wisdoms, the village where all the people have left will inevitably disappear in the near future. If they can get a small help to carry on their wisdom, we believe their wisdom can go on and can helps many
people. Rather than the wisdom that comes from books or internet, the simple and powerful wisdom of farmers and nomads who can be self-sufficient with limited resources in the long freezing winter and the short summer under the strong sun.

However their traditional life style confronted to a big change in terms of the education. There are parents who can afford to send their children to cities to educate. In that case, children often spend many years away from their hometown and the children remaining in the village are also hard to get a proper education. Our first priority is to create opportunities for the sharing of wisdom in the community and for a better educational environment for children. 
The very first step was building a solar-powered school in this isolated village. Schools that combine the traditional architecture of the local area with the maximum preservation of solar heat in terms of the harsh winter weather will give children and adults the opportunity to study during the winter together. As a result, children can spend more time with their parents during the summer. In the meantime, children can have time to learn about the ecology of the area's traditional self-sufficiency. The school will provide a place to stay for visitors who goes there to communicate with villagers, to get help and help.
