More Bon Children Coming for Education
By Toc Dunlap | Executive Director, Creating Hope International
The Yungdrung Bon Monastic Centre (YBMC) in Dolanji, India reports that the number of students that they are supporting is expanding and that there are presently 246 orphan, semi-orphan or very poor Nepalese Bon children being supported by YBMC and attending school at the Tibetan Bon School. 204 are boys and 42 are girls. The children are from Bon families in India, Tibet and Nepal. The Tibetan Bon School now has an 11th grade and a 12th grade will be added this next year. From the graduates of the Tibetan Bon School, there are now 38 children pursuing higher education studies in Masoori, Varanasi, Chandigar and New Delhi. To accommodate the expanding number of children, more rooms are being built for older boys. When they are finished, four boys will live in each room.

Grateful and Committed

Grateful and Committed
At this time of year, we are reminded of our many blessings and how the people in our lives enrich us and bring joy to every day. All of us at Creating Hope International (CHI) are especially grateful to you, for your generous support of our efforts to help Tibetan refugees in India, especially children, live healthy, happy lives. Thank you!
As you celebrate this Holiday Season and anticipate the approach of the New Year, we hope that you will think of us again and make another donation to help ensure CHI is able to continue our work. Tibetan refugees live in precarious circumstances. Though they work hard to be self-sufficient, often they must rely on the assistance of others to fulfill basic needs. With your contribution, CHI remains committed to help provide needed education and health care services.
When you make your donation, check out the Tribute Card and Gift Card options – and please tell a friend about CHI’s Tibet projects and encourage them to make a donation too.
No matter what our circumstances today, when we work together and support one another, we can be assured that tomorrow will be better. Seasons Greetings and thank you again.

Educating Tibetan Refugee Children and Youth
By Toc Dunlap | Executive Director Creating Hope International
The coordinator of the project at YBMC in Dolanji, India for educating Tibetan refugee children writes the following:
“All the children are doing well in the center. Children have just organized a get-together for all the staff and the children on the occasion of Teachers Day and presented many cultural programs.
Recently, four boys and one girl participated in the mathematics relay competition in Mussoorie and the girl took individual third position among the twelve school participants. The girls, who all come from rural areas in Nepal, are doing pretty well in the school.
This year we have purchased new mattresses, bed sheets, pillows and pillow covers for all the children. We have brought one new washing machine and hired one lady for washing the clothes of the small children. Earlier this job was done by the senior children. We have made some changes in the diet of the children and are trying to give more pulses (beans) and fruits to the children. In the month of July, during summer vacation, children had three days get-together, house wise sports and games competition.
We would like to thank all who help us educate and take care of the Bon children in Dolanji!!!”
