Projects - Dong O Drong School
(DODS)Dear Friends,
As you all know, I worked for over 5 years to build a school in Dong O Drong Nangchen, Kham in Eastern Tibet where H.E. Garchen Rinpoche and I were born.
Because of your great generosity this dream of education in my home village has come true. During the coming years our school will continue to need your support. Please don't forgot the children of Dong O Drong.
Thank you so very much!
Sincerely,
Lama Gape

The main building consists of:

Under the governance of the People's Republic of China Mandarin Chinese language skills
are recognized as being critical for survival in present-day Tibet.
