Jonang Foundation's Education in Tibet

An Oasis for Clear Learning

Students in Schoolyard

As many of you know, one of our central education initiatives at Jonang Foundation is the construction of a schoolhouse in a remote region of eastern Tibet. This primary school is called in Tibetan "Losal Ling," or "The Oasis for Clear Learning."

The project currently supports and educates over 100 students from the ages of 6 - 18, many of whom were orphans or children from local nomad families who would not receive an education otherwise. The school offers each student a free education in a curriculum that balances both traditional Buddhist monastic and modern secular education. The schoolhouse itself is three stories and will have the capacity to house over 300 students. It includes a communal meeting hall, numerous classrooms, a library, administrative offices, and a computer lab.

As we continue to raise funds in order to complete building for the Tibet Primary School Project, we ask for your support. While the perimeter walls, 2nd and 3rd level floors, and roof are built, we are in need of funds to complete the interior classroom walls, frontal facade and the final outfitting of the school.

Please support this school by making a financial contribution to the project. Contributions of any amount are greatly appreciated!
