"Just returned from a trip to Ghunsa where Mingma Dandu (KBSS) and I were checking on where your monies went, how the community are doing and finding out what next...
We also took a film crew to show you in fabulous moving images smile emoticon
In short
- the school and hostel look and feel amazing. What a difference you've made. Light, warm classrooms; clean safe dorms; happy kids
- the hydro pipes and channel are fixed and flowing well - leaks repaired
- Tenzing the HDFA supported English / Tibetan teacher is well loved by all and the kids are leaps and bounds ahead in these critical languages
- the health post is doing a good job although still needs some work
- a new School Management Committee is now elected for a 3 year term
Sadly the generator for the hydro has failed. It was 20 years old. We're helping the village buy and transport in a new one. Currently 100+ homes are without electricity - and the school and health post. Please donate for this critical piece of kit!"
