This was the comfortable housing project. 　　 　　A range of new houses and enumerable new villages are rising above the ground at accessible sights such as the sides of roads and grasslands close to villages. Beaming smiles are fixed on the faces of farmers and herders while they are moving into new houses. Since the beginning of 2006, Tibet has launched a comfortable housing project to settle herders, transferring living places for the sake of poverty relief, and also renovation of farmers houses. The project aims to have 80% of farmers and herders living in comfortable houses within five years and build a new socialism in villages all around Tibet. Though only one year has past since launching the project, the remarkable achievements are obvious. 　　 　　250 Thousand Tibetans Moved into New Houses 　　 　　Up to October 2006, Tibet has fulfilled its project in which 46,994 houses have been constructed and/or households of Tibetan farmers and herders have been resettled. Currently, total of 250 thousand Tibetans have already moved into their new houses. The project includes renovating 26,220 original houses, re-settling 9574 herders, and moving 6,116 households into new places because of poverty relief. It also includes 4,354 households involved in the project of reviving and enriching in the frontier areas and 730 households being moved from areas prone to endemic diseases. The housing project has fulfilled all targets in terms of providing separate accommodation for human beings and domestic animals, providing safe water and sanitation, and generally making big changes in living conditions. 　　 　　On Jan.2and,2006,Samdrup Drolma,a Tibetan old granny in Cha Village of Nam Township in Chushur County,is watering follwe
