Lives improved on wide scale in Tibet
Major contribution
Dawa Tsering, 26, an equipment maintenance worker at a barley processing factory in Shigatse city, has benefited from a three-month free program for new employees to master the skills they need for their work.
Earning more than 5,000 yuan a month, the third son born to an 11-member household contributed greatly to moving his family off the list of registered impoverished families in August last year.
Now, his two elder brothers are responsible for tending to highland barley on 0.67 hectares of land, along with several yaks and 50 sheep in a town in Ngamring county, Shigatse. The family earns 20,000 yuan to 30,000 yuan a year.
Dawa Tsering's younger brother, who graduated from college this year, has also found a job in Shigatse.
"There are too many people in our house, so I want to go away to try to earn a living. This is also what my parents want me to do," Dawa Tsering said.
"Hopefully, I will get promotion and become a manager in the future," he added.
