When on a recent visit to ITBCI school I took some time to meet some of the school’s teachers and students. One of the students I met was Karma. She was very bright and enthusiastic and keen to talk about her experience at the school.
Karma is 14 and has been attending ITBCI school for 3 years, she lives in the school and a residential student. Her mother came to Kalimpong to try to make a living as she was in a very poor situation at home. Karma is of Bhutanese descent but was born in Nepal.
She says “at first when I came to the school I was feeling awkward as I didn’t know any of the other students and I was feeling shy, after a short time I started to make friends. Now my favourite thing about being here is that I live at the school with my friends, and that we get to spend a lot of time together”. She also says that she really likes the Tibetan dancing which they do in the school, and this her favourite extra-curricular activity.
Karma is enjoying her studies and wants to become a doctor when she leaves the school, and she knows that this will involve a lot of hard study. “I want to be a doctor because I want to help people who are suffering and make them better”.
