Our ‘Sustainable Forays’ are the ‘Four A‘ projects that

Based in San Francisco, PFC is an international, non-profit 501(c)3 organization dedicated to positive transformation at the community level. PFC works with communities around the world, empowering individuals to achieve their full potential as well as building and strengthening community alliances. Our projects include empowering social and spiritual entrepreneurs, empowering women, accelerating social, economic and environmental transformation, catalyzing change through the media and leading groups on global learning journeys.
Among the many films and documentaries we sponsor, we are most proud to be associated with Oscar-nominated film-makers exposing violence against women and children, animal abuse, campus rapes, sexual abuse in the military, and sexual abuse by the clergy. PFC also supports healthcare issues including Lyme disease, maternal healthcare, and extreme emergency rescue missions. We also support education in various creative forms such as games, books and magical healing programs.

PROJECT: Lama Tenzin and the Himalayan Kids
Since 2001, PFC has sponsored the Humanitarian Hall of Fame monk, Lama Tenzin Choegyal, and his heroic efforts to rescue children from the Upper Dolpo region of the Himalaya Mountains. The journey involves trekking 10-14 hours/day for 20 – 30 days while climbing over altitudes of 18,000 feet through treacherous conditions, often encountering mercenary – like Maoists who demand payment for passage. The brave monk and his group of children push through the insurmountable odds to the orphanage where Lama Tenzin has created a safe and loving home as well as private school education.
