Our Director: Venerable Bardor Tulku Rinpoche

Bardor Tulku Rinpoche opened a free school, Shay Chay Dumra, which translates to "Learning Gardens." The school house was located in Pangta Village, Nangchen, and was open from 8:30 AM until 3:00 PM. As many as 55 to 60 children attended, children who otherwise would not have access to a grade school education.

Today, this school, and the one in Panta are no longer funded by The Raktrul Foundation. We were very glad to have been of help, and now are supporting Village Halls as times have changed. The people of each village support heir hall, and we help as we are needed.

The Village Schools Projects of the Past.

Our goal was to continue to help students have access to much needed school supplies, books, study materials and a free education. As you can see by the gallery, the children are happy, healthy! In 2011 we were able to distribute school uniforms to the students. Thank you, for your kind donations made this possible.

The Raktrul Foundation is no longer needed to return each year to support the Village Schools. This page lists images from past visits. Please enjoy.

Village Schools

The school houses in Dortam and Pantah once needed expansion and repairs. Both schools have had an immediate need for an additional classroom.

Once, each school needed to add a new room for health care services and an office with a computer/printer and office supplies. The schools once had a need basic health supplies, school supplies and uniforms.

Our History for supporting Village Schools:

There was a need for The Raktrul Foundation to build another school to serve three remaining villages of Lingre, Puja and Davran. Dormitories were once needed for students as many of the families were not within daily walking distance of the school. School supplies, texts, desks, and chairs, were needed in times past. The Chinese government now sees to the educational needs of students.

The Raktrul Foundation is pleased to have supported Villag Schools in years past. We thank you for your efforts in helping us with that need.

Providing an education to children in remote areas of rural Tibet, who have no means of travel, and no money to pay for a state education was a very important project.

Thank you again for your help in times past.
