Update About Our Girls Teaching In Lhi Village

At the beginning of August, two SMD students, Tashi Chodon B322 and Pasang Lhamo B309 trekked back to their village in Nubri. They have gone there to teach Nubri kids in their own language. This report is by another of our students who trekked back this Fall.

I am writing this letter just to let you know that my sisters Tashi Chodon and Pasang Lhamo both are doing well with their work out there at our village. They said thank you so much for your help and kindness towards them. They feel happy and proud of themselves when I told them what you had requested me to tell them. They told me that they are in good health and are doing their best in their teaching.

They are okay with everything but they are having problems with stationery: the children don’t have notebooks, pencils, erasers and sharpeners. And they told me there isn't any furniture in the classrooms and the students needs to sit on the wooden floor which will be very cold during in winter time. They are bit worried about their students during winter time but it’s okay. Other than that everything is okay and going on well.

Right now, the little monks from our monastery in Hinang are coming to do their studies. They walk down from Hinang and then climb back up at the end of the day. It takes them about two hours every day. Only some of the village (Lhi) kids are coming right now, because it is time for everyone to work in the fields. My sisters they told me every villager is getting busy with their work but everyone is fine and no one is having problems. These are things that they told me to tell you.
