Happy Global Tiger Day!

The Tiger represents human awareness, modesty, kindness and confidence.

Let's save this iconic animal, for it saves our inherent dignity and ecology!

Be Kind

Firstly, the most important thing in your life is playing. The next important is to be kind. You should be kind to yourself, your friends, unknowns, insects, birds and all others.

Urine as fertilizer!

We have been practising this organic fertilization in our garden to grow our vegetables. This method, in specific is to harness our own resources and lessen environmental impacts (even if it's an insignificant impact).

Here are some photos taken by Ngawang Namgyel (student, 15 yo) from today's fertilization and weeding work.

Youth Volunteers

Mr. Tashi Dhendup (Ex-student of Ranjung school), Mr Sonam Wangchuk (Ex-std of Mongar High School) and Mr Pema Rinzin (CST student) have been volunteering for the last few weeks with us. We are happy to have these active and energetic youth, who worked hard during their volunteerism, and in particular they have been very helpful in the recent empowerment program presided by Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche at Chokyi Gyatso Institute, Dewathang.

As they go back to continue their further studies, we wish them luck, success, happiness and kindness. May they grow to be decent individuals, who will dare to care their community and put forth the welfare of others first.

We thank them all!
