Dear Friends,
TODAY ONLY 21 SEPTEMBER at Noon ET
There is a 30% match available today only on donations to all CHI projects, up to $1,000 per donor per organization (while funds last).
Donate at Noon ET until midnight but funds run out very quickly so do it close to noon if you can! All donations are final.
We do appreciate your support.
Students at the Bon Center help out wherever needed. Recently boys were busy painting shelving and sewing mats. This picture is of one of the youngest students. “This boy lost his parents when he was very small and was raised by a BonPo monk at the Nepal BonPo Monastery. He was transferred to the BCW Center for care and to get a good education. He is only 3 and half years old but has adapted well to living at the Bon Center.”
Thank you for helping the Bon people care for children and give them a quality education.

Encouraging Self-Motivation
By Elizabeth Appleyard | Program Officer

Dear Friends,
The Bon Children Welfare Center staff work hard to create an environment which encourages self- motivation in the Tibetan and Nepalese youth they care for.
As the secretary of the Bon Center said, “We want to see all the children happy and above all we want them to learn through a process of self- awakening. We believe that self- awakening will mean you make right decisions as you face challenges in the future. Knowing your strengths and weaknesses helps you choose the right path in life. We tell every child here that we are all unique and we are neither better nor less than anybody else but rather the best or least of ourselves.”
The care the children receive is holistic being not just academic school work, but sport, spirituality and psychological support and cultural. There are many after school activities and opportunities for inter house competition as well as chances to represent the school at competitions. Recently, Bon students won prizes in a regional competition in Tibetan poetry, poetry recitation, debate, science, and music. Through this sort of experience the youth learn self- motivation, self- confidence and to express their opinions.
Thank you for your support for Tibetan Bon youth.
