Graduation

My last few days in Ladakh could be described as bitter sweet – so many activities so little time to reflect. Saying goodbye to the children, some of their families, and my colleagues at the school was very difficult. My time to return seems so far away.

Graduation was a real success with parents dancing, students presenting and performing, a very special speech from HH Dalai Lama’s sister (Pema Jetsun) who promoted the value of an education and HH Dalai Lama’s brother who was the honored guest for the function. All the weeks (and months) of preparation paid off as the program was flawless. Staff and students alike should be applauded for their demonstrations of Ladakhi culture
