Supplies and equipment for the Shedra
The Shedra is taking shape on the outside, but there is still much work still to do on the inside.
As the rooms of the Shedra take form, it is now time to focus on providing supplies and materials to furnish and equip them.
Children are the future of Tibet. They need an education that includes their language and cultural heritage and prepares them for the modern world. The Kilung Community School will provide them with the education they need.
For the Kilung Children’s School, a partial list of what is needed includes:
Tables and Seating
Text Books
Writing Materials
Computers/ Technical Equipment
Salaries/training/supplies for teachers
Donations are needed to furnish and equip the kitchen and dining hall.

Help rebuild the Kilung Children’s School in the Shedra
This is Sonam Yonten, now in his early 30s.
Sonam’s parents died when he was a young boy. He joined Kilung Shedra when the first Shedra program started and became a monk. Sonam studied very hard, completed his training and later became a teacher for Kilung Children’s School, before the fire destroyed the Shedra.
After the fire, he and the Shedra and Children’s School students have been waiting for the Shedra to be rebuilt so that they can return to study. In the meantime, he is teaching adults in his community how to read and write.
