The day when his Holiness the Dalai Lama was awarded the US Congressional Award was observed as Area Cleaning Day by the people living in Mcloeodganj area. The Indians, the Tibetans and many foreigners joined the local population in picking up garbages from the surroundings.

The staff, the students and the volunteers of Tibet Charity joined the campaign and picked up garbages thrown alongside the temple road. We also requested the owners of the hotels alongside the road in keeping the area clean. Keeping the areas alongside the temple road is all the more important as His Holiness always takes this route whenever he travels to different places.
The day has been dedicated to area cleaning because of the fact that keeping the environment clean has always been very close to His heart.

Tibet Charity joined the Tibetan community worldwide in felicitating Mr. Lobsang Sangay, the new Tibetan Kalon Tripa (Prime Minister) and his new Kashag (cabinet).

On 9th August 2011, a special program was held at the Temple of His Holiness the Dalai Lama to felicitate Mr. Lobsang Sangay for being elected as the first Kalon Tripa after His Holiness has formally taken retirement from active political leadership. In the absence of the Director, Ms. Yeshey Dolma, office Secretary, represented Tibet Charity in felicitating the new Kalon Tripa.

On 16th of September 2011, a special program was held at the Kashag Hall to felicitate the new Kashag appointed by the Kalon Tripa and unanimously approved by the Tibetan parliament in exile. The Director represented Tibet Charity and offered traditional Tibetan scarves to all the members of the new cabinet.

We wish them all the very best of luck in leading the Tibetans forward to educational development, social harmony, cultural preservation and in finding just solution to the issue of Tibet.

We have been highly fortunate to have been visited by Veronique, Odile and others from Graines d’Avenir, France.

They visited our offices and discussed projects related to Graines d’Avenir, France. They expressed their happiness at the way we have utilized the funds received from them. They also visited our English and the computer classes, and interacted with our volunteers and the students.

During their stay here, they also visited some of the elders being supported by them through us. After visiting one such family, they wrote to us saying, “I met Tenzin Bhutti….her life is terrible. What can we do??? Do you have any advice which could help them?? Thank you very much for the great job you do!” They also witnessed a man suffering from severe liver ailment coming to our office to seek help. They showed tremendous sympathy with the man and expressed

their willingness to render whatever help they can possibly provide.

We thank them for taking time to visit us in spite of their highly busy schedule and showing sympathy to the plights of needy Tibetans. We also thank Graines d’Avenir, France for their continuous support and request them to continue supporting us.

Tashi Paljor

Tenzin Dawa

Tibet Charity India organized a simple farewell dinner to Ms Dolma, our accountant, and Mr. Tashi Paljor, our computer teacher on 15th April 2011.

Mr. Tashi Paljor has been working with us since March 2008 as our computer instructor. He has been well appreciated by the students coming here to gain some knowledge on computers. He has also been maintaining our website. In both these works, he has shown thorough professionalism and dedication. His relation with all the staff of Tibet Charity has been exemplary. But owing to some personal compulsion, he decided to resign with effect from 18th of this month. He will be working for the Central Tibetan Administration.


Ms Dolma has worked for Tibet Charity India as its accountant and secretary since September 2010. She has been very good at her work and her understanding of the accounts has been highly appreciable. During her stay here with us, she maintained excellent rapport with all the staff of the organization. She is now selected for a CTA job and is now posted at Auditing Section, Kathmandu.

We thank both for the time they spent with us and we wish them both best of luck in all their future endeavors.

Tenzin Dolma

Yeshey Dolma

Ms. Yeshi Dolma is our new accountant and secretary, and Mr. Tenzin Dawa is our new computer teacher. We welcome both of them to Tibet Charity.
