14 sponsored students in India had the opportunity to attend an educational and activity field trip funded by a TRF Community Grant.
The students took part in a white water rafting activity, visited their regional science centre and attended the Sakya Centre, having an audience with H.H. The Sakya Gomang Rinpoche, the head of the Sakya school of Tibetan Buddhism.
A representative from the school said “[The students] had no place to go during the two month winter holiday [and] we were able to bring more joy and fun to them during the holiday. We are thankful to all the sponsors for their support.”
Our Community Grants support Tibetan communities in exile in India and Nepal. These grants enable Tibetan communities including schools and care homes to provide those in their care with essential resources such as clean water, furniture, electricity, food, classroom materials, healthcare and other necessities. In all instances, wherever this support is provided to Tibetan communities, it helps ensure that Tibetan culture and traditions are protected and preserved.
