new school updates 2010!!

Sorry folks for getting out of touch for so long! Happy 2010

Yes! I have just come back from GRASSLAND SCHOOL with another friend MM after attending the annual public festival (Monlam) at Labrang.

The new semester is due to start soon and kids were cleaning their own classroom on the day we visit.

There are now 60 students in total with 4 class level (grade 1-4) (with around 30 students borading at school).
The student number may increase to 100 in a year time according to sherap, the founder of the school.

Please enjoy some of the photos first.

Promise I shall write more very soon.
