The operation was not without challenges. Securing a truck, coordinating volunteers and traveling day and night along treacherous mountain roads were daunting tasks. Each member took charge of specific responsibilities to ensure the campaign ran smoothly.
Pema Sodron, a team member and student at Southwest University, shared that they never expected their efforts as students to inspire so many people from diverse regions and walks of life. Their actions united local truck drivers, volunteers and donors, many of whom offered their time and resources.
"Every small act contributes to something greater. I believe Xizang will recover from the earthquake soon," she said.
