Himalayan Society to Assist Dongpa Region School Project
In the
remote Dongpa Shen (County) under Shigatse Prefecture of the
Tibet Autonomous Region of China has a local community
boarding school building built some years ago. There are
about five hundred children ranging from the age of 6 to 14
years old in need of schooling. These children live in
poverty and their parents have not seen a school in their
lives in this desolate nomadic region. Therefore, there is
an urgent need for essential school and boarding supplies
and a means to transport them to the region. The Himalayan
Society is beginning our efforts to provide support to the
Dongpa region community.
Please
continue to check our website for further details and to
learn how to contribute to these efforts.
