Sluneční škola v Kargyaku slaví 10ti leté výročí
21. září uběhne 10 let od otevření Sluneční školy v himalájském Kargyaku - jednom z posledních míst, kde ve výšce 4200 m přežívá původní tibetská kultura. Před otevřením školy umělo v malé vesnici s 200 obyvateli trochu číst zhruba 10 lidí a děti musely být za vzděláním posílány na internátní školy do vzdálených měst. Dnes má Sluneční škola své absolventy a díky projektu se podařilo zastavit vysidlovaní vesnice.

News from Dawa
Julley, while the pandemic was spreading across the world last year our place, Kargyak in Zangskar was doing okay because there is no way for anyone could come in or go out due to the roads being blocked by snow.
In
March the Indian govt. announced that the whole country would go into
lockdown. At our school, we continued teaching because we were safe
because of nobody coming into Zangskar. Until July, we did the classes
as usual. Around that time the students who had been studying outside
and others started to come back home so our place was locked down by the
local authorities. Since the schools were to be closed, we the teachers
decided to give the students homework and check up on them once week at
their own home. For the older students, we gave them homework based on
their textbooks. For the younger students we let them do drawings and
other basic things. This went on for a long time since we didn't know
when things would be back to normal. Till October at least it went on
like this.
Once
a year we take the students on a picnic. Last year we had all the old
students of our school back home except for one. We also asked them to
join us. We had a great time together. We also cleaned the surroundings
of our school. Two of our first ex students of our school, Tsomo and
Chosdon are in Manali right now. The next two Samchok and Choskit are in
TCV Bylakuppe. Youdon is studying in Padum. From the next batch, Lhamo
is studying in Jammu. And Dolma and Norbu are in Leh. We managed to get
three of the next students, Dechen, Dolma and Rinchen admitted into TCV
Upper Dharamsala. Phuntsok is studying in Padum. Bhuti is planning to
join a nunnery soon. Another two girls, Yangzom and Dolkar have also
joined a nunnery in Dharamsala. Our two most recent students who
finished class 8, Thosam and Tsega have been accepted as students in TCV
Upper Dharamsala. They have not yet arrived due to the roads being
blocked by fresh snow. Soon they will come down I hope.
We
also have a new tunnel to make it easier for the people. It is located
between Manali and Lahaul. Usually to travel from Manali to Ladakh takes
quite long and this tunnel reduces the distance by few hours. Some
people who have to come out of Kargyak manage to cross the Shingo la on
foot in spring. With this tunnel they can then visit Manali for work or
other things. It has been very helpful. There are few people here in
Manali I've met who want to go back to Zangskar but there was fresh snow
on Shingo la a while ago so they're stuck here. As soon as its good I
also plan to go back with them as soon as possible. We will have to walk
on snow since cars can't cross the pass yet due to snow.
That's about it for now. Thank you for your continued help and support for the students.
Regards,
Lama Dawa
