The week was amazing. The past two days I was literally working 14 hours straight. The Rowell fund is accepting applications this month. It is only for Tibetans, and I’ve been helping several non-profits fill out their forms. Love0 Share Tweet Share Pin
Hi all! Just a quick update, I am exhausted! I began teaching two senior geshes this morning, it was wonderful. Immediately following, I went to ITTA (www.TibetanArtSchool.com). I was able to give Ngodup $400 for one of the thangka that sold on eBay’s World of Good site. Love0 Share Tweet Share Pin
After about 35 hours of travel, where I inadvertently lost a day, I arrived in Dhasa on Friday afternoon. Luckily I had that DIY presence of mind to keep the plastic utensils from my flight, as my new room here doesn’t have anything in the kitchen! Love0 Share Tweet Share Pin

YIPPEE! I am heading back to Dharamsala on September 2nd, and staying through mid-November! More updates are coming soon! Love0 Share Tweet Share Pin
