Mail by Runner 115: Young Monks at Kharikhola

On the Himalayan Trust's monitoring trip, the team stopped at Kharikhola for extensive meetings with the school. Afterwards the team visited the monastery which is part of our Stationary and Schoolbooks programme. 

The young monks here often come from challenging family back grounds which makes a quality education more important than ever. The team was very impressed by the composure and motivation that the young monks had. They are earnestly committed to education in both a traditional sense and a monastic one.
