Para 1.20
The Rinchen Zangpo Society for Spiti
Development is an Indian registered charity that
has more than 894 young students receiving
their education under its care. Aid for Himalayan
Education (AfHE) in 2021 contributed to their
educational programme as follows:
Children’s Educational Expenses: AfHE made
contributions towards the educational expenses
of more than fifty children and young people
belonging to financially disadvantaged families
from Spiti or neighbouring areas receiving their
education in Spiti or elsewhere under the care of
the Rinchen Zangpo Society for Spiti
Development.
In the short term these children can thereby
realize their educational potential much to a
greater extent than would be possible by other
means in Spiti Valley. When adult they, or some
of them, can contribute to the welfare of their
society in significant ways. For instance, before
the Rinchen Zangpo Society began its
educational programme, no child educated in
Spiti had ever become a doctor and such
government posts in Spiti remained vacant for
lack of anyone willing from outside or qualified
from within Spiti to fill them. Now there are four
doctors occupying government posts in Spiti
who were all educated at Rinchen Zangpo
Society schools. They have been in the front line
in successfully containing or preventing the
spread of Covid-19 in Spiti in the last two years.
AfHE also made contributions that covered cost
the installation and construction of ‘solar-
passive’ improvements for the Senior Girls’
Hostel at Munsel-ling School. The latter
improvements take advantage of Spiti’s bright
sunshine to provide warm spaces for study and
other activities in spite of chill outside
temperatures [high-altitude] and with reduced
use of carbon based fuels. Another
infrastructure improvement funded by Aid for
Himalayan Education was for a set of boys and
girls toilets at Kaza school, Spiti. Funds
committed prior to 2021 but work completed in
2021. Delays in doing the work were due to
Covid-19 restrictions in 2020. Note that it is too
cold to do outside construction work in winter.
The building season is from April/May to
October/November.
There were other general donations directed
towards improving educational provision in Spiti.
Aid for Himlayan Education raised this money
and sent it to Spiti.
Two other small donations went towards
educational expenses of disadvantaged children
in Kathmandu, Nepal and a Tibetan monk
studying in exile at Dreupung Monastery,
Karnataka State, India.
