Where is the school located?The school is located near Dzogchen village in Dege County, Karze (ch. Ganzi) Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan province of China. This is the Kham area of Tibet. Why is the school needed?Most people there live deep in the mountains without access to education or healthcare. Due to harsh living conditions many children lose one or both parents and become orphans. People are warmhearted and provide orphans with basic shelter and food; yet, as they themselves are poor, they are unable to provide children with a nurturing living environment or with education.

School's positive influence will extend to the local community - by providing jobs and transfering the knowladge - and serve as a model of effective and relevant education in rural Tibetan areas. In addition everyone involved - working staff, volounteers and supporters - will benefit through gaining new experience, through making life meaningful by helping others, through establishing close and personal connections spanning across boundaries of cultures and nations.
