Parents Day

Every year Parents’ Day is celebrated on 5th March in the loving memory of His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s Great Mother Gyalyum Chenmo. This is a special day for every Tibetan to celebrate and to mark the birthday of Dicky Tsering, the mother of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, as an expression of gratitude for giving us such a wonderful and extra ordinary leader. 

For our school it’s a double celebration because every year a group of our dear sponsors from Austria headed by Mrs. Inge Eisett ensure that they celebrate this special occasion with us. This year also we had in total of 11 sponsors who came all the way from Austria to our school to make this day a special and memorable one. It was actually a two day visit on 4 and 5 March 2017. They filled the space of parents for our destitute children and enlightened their little hearts.

So taking this opportunity we want to thank all our sponsors for being so kind, loving and supportive to our children and our school. We hope to celebrate this day together for many years to come in the future.
