TIBET OUR COUNTRY PROJECT

Tibet Our Country Project is one of the prime activities in TCV Schools where children get to know a lot about our country, Tibet. This program is specially designed in such a way that children get to feel the true essence of the rich and the unique culture of our great nation. The key objective of organizing such program in the school is to educate and impart the knowledge in our children about our country and keep them connected with their roots.

So here in our school TCV School Chauntra, the conclusion day function was held on 26 April 2017 on the very auspicious day of Lhakar, ‘the White Wednesday’ after almost a month long research, study and preparation.

The day started with the incense burning prayer (SANGSOL in Tibetan) at 7 a.m. in the morning. It was soon followed by the presentation on this particular ritual by the students of class 3. After the prayer the staff members and children participated in the traditional circular dance called ‘Gorshey’. It was indeed a very special morning to all of us.

The focus area of this year’s program is ‘SECULAR ETHICS’. Every class had to do research, learn and prepare presentations either directly or indirectly related with it particularly. The program covers a wide range and varieties of topic presentations that it was not possible to complete in one day. As every topic is important, the school administration decided to provide opportunities to every class to display and showcase their activities during the morning assembly. Every class participated as according to their own class level and as per their age group. There are dramas, songs, power point presentations and whole lot as such the program is still on the go.

Hopefully we shall be able to give a complete conclusion to this special program within this week. Happy learning everyone and be proud of your country and your nation!!!

So for the last couple of years we are honored and privileged to receive constant help from the Himalayan Medical Team lead by Mr. Ravi Singh in maintaining proper health of our children.

WORKSHOP FOR THE HOME MOTHERS ON NUTRITION

The importance of nutrition cannot be denied, at any stage of life. The children spend most of their time here in the school away from home. Therefore it becomes very important for the school to watch over the holistic development of the child. And it starts from what food children intake at this period of young age. We need to have proper understanding about the nutritional values.

Thus the home mothers play pivotal role in children’s diet in the school as such a workshop was conducted in the school premises especially for the home mothers by Mrs. Kalsang Sharling, Director of TCV Mothers’ Training Centre with Dr. Bianca Maria Ext Preysch from Switzerland.

The content of the workshop was mainly about the intake of the nutrition needed and essential for the children in their growth at this particular period of time. It was very helpful and complete eye opening learning for our home mothers.
