Raising awareness

At first, an untiring campaign was

launched to recruit students. Now thatawareness of this initiative and itsmission has spread, it is the womenwho are requesting to join the classes.

There are currently 26 women in thegroup, but more are expected to enroll.

The project is open to all the women of

Gulabgarh, the only condition being thatthey attend classes regularly.

Teacher and students

Smt. Pama Lamo is the dedicated

teacher. She conducts the classes bothin the morning and afternoon sessions.

The school is open daily from 10 to 12am and from 1 to 4 pm.

Most women attend the afternoonsession and study from 2 to 3 hours.

Who supervises the donations?

Funds are administered by a committeeof nine prominent community membersincluding:

Mr. Roshan Lal, President,

Mr. Tashi Chering, Chairman

Mr. Charing Angchuck, Gen. Secretary

Mr. Madan Lal, Treasurer

Mr. Tenzen Dorjay, Advisor

Mr. Swami Raj, Mr. Tenzen Yodan, Mrs.Dekit Angdol, Mrs. Sunita Devi

In addition to the chairman Mr. Tashi

Chering, who is a mountaineer and

guide and lives in this village, Mari C. de

la Fuente Leis, an English teacher from

Spain is the main sponsor of the

project. She visited the school in

Gulabgarh in the summer of 2011 and

talked to the members of the board

and the women. She can confirm that

the money is arriving safely at the

proper destination and is directly

benefitting the women.

When I participated in the exciting but at

times grueling treks in Ladakh and Paddar

with Mr. Chering, I learned to trust him as

leader of our expeditions. After visiting the

Womens Literacy Project of Gulabgarh,

which Tashi launched and currently

presides over, I know that I can trust him

as leader of this education initiative.

In India, when you educate a man you are educating an individual, but

when you educate a woman, you are educating an entire community.
