My wife, Sonam Dolkar, is doing much better now after the heart surgery which you made possible." wrote Mr. Lekshey Gyalsten.

They were trained by the Indian Institute of Public Administration (IIPA), who are responsible for training top Indian Civil Service Personnel. The Training included; 1) methods of improving day-to-day office procedures such as, File management, noting, drafting, communication, action on receipt, checks on delay and inspection, aids to processing oral instructions etc.. 2) Office Automation and Scientific Management and 3) People management, perception, leadership and organisational behaviour. Those taking part felt the training was well designed and will prove to be very useful in their offices, also that the office automation was very relevant to the present day office and they needed more time to learn and that the more senior staff will also benefit from this course by improving the day-to-day office procedures and seeing how other offices work. The participants also encouraged by the director of IIPA hosted an event on Tibetan Culture and Food. The food and cultural aspects like singing and dancing were prepared by the participants and Tibetan Refugee Self Help Handicaft (TRSHH) provided an exhibition of their work. The event proofed very popular with other students and staff at the IIPA. The Institute now has some of the arts exhibited in their lobbies and has Tibetan literatures in their Library. Tibetan Transit School, Dining HallThanks to the funding from Tibet House Trust the Dinning Hall of Tibetan Transit School is fully furnished. “With the completion of a full-fledged dinning hall, brief Inaugural ceremony was held on the 14 November 2003. It was inaugurated by Venerable Karma Gelek Yuthok, Education Secretary and attended by the secretaries of the concerned Departments and Tibetan Reception Centre, and Tenzin Chungkyi la from SARD. Thus about 600 students have now started using the new Dining Hall and we thank you on behalf of the students and staff member of Tibetan Transit School.” Nangsa Chodon, Project Officer Tibet Museum, Traveling ExhibitionsFunding from the Tibet House Trust was essential in moving the Travelling Exhibition, “A Long look Homeward” to new audiences in India. From March –August 2003 it was in the Karnataka State, South India, where five of the largest Tibetan settlements are based, 2 at Bylakuppe, Hunsur, Kollegal and Mundgod. It brought back lots of memories for the older people and was very educational in telling our story to the younger Tibetans and the local Indians. The Exhibition was also displayed in the Indian Institute of World Centre, Bangalore, capital city of Karnataka State. Ngoenga School, Tibetan school for children with special needs.Ngoenga school has 45 children with various disabilities ranging from Cerebral Palsy to behaviour disturbances to speech and hearing problems to autism. It is run entirely on donation basis, has 7 teachers, 8 house parents, a driver, a Physiotherapist, a handyman, 2 cooks, a director, a secretary and an accountant. It also has volunteers helping out. Due to the special needs of the students, it costs about £70 per child per month. The Tibet House Trust provided £11,4000 for maintenance over two years. The grant has been the backbone of their day to day funding. They have recently asked the Trust for more help and also to find sponsors for the children. We are currently appealing for people to sponsor a child at Ngoenga and give them the opportunities to learn and prosper. Due to the high cost of maintenances for each child, they have divided the cost of sponsorship, where each child needs four sponsors. Currently they have 63 sponsors and require about 90 more sponsors to run the school efficiently. We are asking sponsors to donate £17 a month to help a child and the school to run efficiently. This school is the only hope for these children to get the special care and attention they need.
