Each year, TRAS supports up to eight Tibetan students who are studying towards their nursing degrees at post-secondary institutions in India. Despite the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, each of our scholarship students continues to flourish professionally, academically, and socially. Their hard work will pay dividends to the Tibetan settlements in India where they will one day work to support their family and better their community.

In the words of one student, “[I am] humbled to receive this scholarship and would like to express my heartfelt thanks for your generosity … [it] will not go unappreciated.”

For more than 20 years TRAS has sponsored children at Munsel-ling School in the very remote Spiti Valley, northern India. Prior to the pandemic Munsel-ling School shot this wonderful video that they have now posted to their Facebook. Click here to watch

Please note: This video was shot before the pandemic.

Update on the PPE’s for the Tibetan Health Care Centres in Nepal Project

In December, the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) and the Snow Lion Foundation had appealed to TRAS for help in providing Personal Protective Equipment for the health care workers in Tibetan Health Centres in Nepal for the year. TRAS responded with a promise of $14,000.00 and through the generosity of you, our donors, we have raised just under $10,000.

With the funds already sent, they have purchased supplies and are now in the process of distribution.

The children are still receiving an education in spite of the pandemic. Click here to read their report for 2020.
