Help the Suja School students toward a brighter future

Posted on 1260598934

Director Mark Gould was recently in India and visited some of the students featured in the documentary.

They are coming to the end of their two years at the TCV Suja School. The students do not have many options for their post-school careers. They can go to a vocational school to learn a trade such as motor mechanics or cooking, which none of them seem keen to do, or they can go on to do further studies at a private academy.

Dolma would like to do an intensive English course in Delhi. But she needs help with her costs to cover accommodation and travel. Jamyang is a great singer and keen to see if there are any opportunities to study music.

We hope Tibet support groups around the world will purchase a Tibet: Murder in the Snow DVD and raise funds through screening the film to their local constituents. The funds raised will help these young people have a brighter future.

The Kelsang Namtso fund, set up in honour of Kelsang Namtso, the 16 year old nun who lost her life in the Nangpa Pass, enables us to help those featured in Tibet: Murder in the Snow as they build new lives in Dharamsala, India.

Director Mark Gould recently visited Dharamsala and met up with Jamyang, Dolma and Soltram at the TCV Suja School.  We presented all three students with $200 each to cover costs over the winter break.

Lobsang Choeden was invited to Switzerland as part of a Tibetan delegation in October. We sent $500 to Lobsang to help with his costs.

These gifts were made possible with the money raised through the Kelsang Namtso Fund. Many thanks to all who have bought DVDs, hosted screening and donated thus far.
