Tibetan Democracy Day

The 57th anniversary of the Tibetan Democracy Day was celebrated with tradition in our school this year. The Chief Guest of our function was Mr.Tsering Dorjee , the Chairman of the Tibetan Local Assembly, Dege Division, Bir. The school Principal gave the introductory speech narrating the history of how we were blessed by His Holiness the Dalai Lama with this democratic government 57 years ago in 1960. Every country in this world has to struggle and fight for a democratic government in the past and even now but we, Tibetans are very lucky to have His Holiness the Dalai Lama as our leader who without being asked gave us complete right to the Tibetans to follow the democratic system and gave full authority to people’s elected leaders.

Then we had the Chief Guest’s speech followed by the musical instrument playing competition between the students of class 5 and 6. The class 5S students won the competition. Then we had three Tibetan circular group dance (GORSHE) by three classes from 6 to 8 respectively. After that some prize distribution, the tradition scarf and certificates were given to the students for Tibetan creative writing contest conducted by CTA last year. We felt proud that some of our students were also there among the list.

Finally the vote of thanks speech was given by the school Headmaster. He thanked everyone who participated in the program. Overall the day turned out to be educative, informative and enjoyable for every one of us.
