"The emphasis of this school 
is to teach the noble qualities 
of loving kindness and universal 
responsibility. We are not trying 
to change these children, but to 
awaken and nurture their own 
deepest qualities – their 
innate sense of loving kindness 
and compassion and their own 
natural tendency towards positive 
behaviour…"

Geshe Konchok Tsering, School Founder

The success of the school is directly related to the generous support of the local community and businesses. We have been amazed at the generosity of spirit, time, expertise, financial contributions, goods and services. This support has been integral to the success of the school and we are very grateful for this generosity.
