Mewoen Tsuglag Patoen is a new model school inaugurated in October 2005 to focus on intensive study of the Tibetan language (reading, writing, and vocabulary) among younger students. The school conducts all classes in Tibetan and provides both boarding and dayscholar facilities, with children hailing from Nepal, Bhutan and India. The school is located in lower Dharamsala, and sponsorship funds (requested for students at Mewoen Tsuglag Patoen at $30 per month) cover all school expenses, including room, board, clothing, books, supplies, and medical care. TSTS Shillong is an elementary school in a very poor region of northeast India, just north of Bangladesh. The young children at this school transfer to other Tibetan schools for their later studies. TSTS Gangtok is a boarding school in Sikkim, between Nepal and Bhutan, that previously served only the early grades but has now been expanded to include high-school aged children. CST Kalimpong is an elementary school in West Bengal, between Nepal and Bhutan and north of Bangladesh. The Tibetan Settlement of Miao is a very poor community, and the Tibetan refugees who live there have difficulty in finding work that can provide for their families. CST Dalhousie is located near Dharamsala in Himachal Pradesh and offers classes through Class XII (middle school and high school). The Ellen Sharma Memorial Matriculation Higher Secondary School (previously the Children's Garden School Society) in Chennai has two Tibetan teachers and admits Tibetan Students on scholarship as part of a special multi-cultural program extending back over 35 years. Please contact our office (email: sponsor@tibetaid.org) if you have questions or need additional information. |
