From Ladakh to Dhasa and Back

Ladakh

Ladakh

I was born in a small village in Ladakh. When I was seven years old I went to school in my village. There was only primary school, but there were not enough teachers. After this I went to the city of Leh in Ladakh for study.
Five years later I went back to my village. In my village are many poor families who have no money to give their children to study in another place, there are not many educated people in my village.

I will stay here for three months, after this I will go to Varanasi to study Buddhist philosophy and also study Tibetan medicine because I will become a doctor. I think being a doctor is a very good chance to help our people. So I will help my villagers and I will teach Buddhist philosophy to them.

The people who do not get a chance to study are orphans as they have no chance to go to school and nor do poor family children.

I really like Dharamshala because Dharamshala is just like Ladakh. I am learning English in Lha institute which has no expensive entry fee and is good for every person who is poor, or who is rich. And also thank you teachers and thank you Lha.
