Karsang

Karsang is in need of sponsors!

Karsang came to Jhamtse Gatsal mid-2018. He is an independent, curious, creative, and talkative child who is always ready to learn anything fast. He loves to play with his friends. He is learning the letters of the alphabet in English, Hindi, and Bhoti language. He is building essential life skills with the help of the Aamalas (house mothers), his older brothers, sisters, teachers, and friends.

Everyone loves Karsang, takes care of him, and helps him learn the community's ways, build good habits, and become familiar with the way of life at Jhamtse Gatsal. His friends are helping him learn small things about classroom etiquette like taking care of books, toys, cleaning the classroom, keeping things properly, and being nice to others. He doesn't have any favorite toy, book, or color yet.

He is always curious about everything and asks lots of questions. One can tell he is applying what he learns as his behavior has improved. He enjoys going for walks in the morning. He loves to sing and dance and enjoys his music class very much.

Recently he performed in the daily morning assembly where he sang rhymes with his friends and did some acting with his older brothers. He was confident in front of an audience and seemed to thrive in the attention.

He is loving, naughty, and adorable. there is a positive change in him in a short time at Jhamtse Gatsal. We have great joy and belief that this child will grow into a kind, loving and intelligent adult someday given the right kind of attention.

“The most positive change that I see in the children today is that where they had nothing and no hope in their life; today, they are dreaming and thinking of doing something for the world at large; they are thinking of paying forward the kindness of their supporters and caregivers. This, to me, is the biggest achievement of all.”

Write Your Sponsored Child
Write Your Sponsored Child

Your words of support are important to the children. In keeping with Jhamtse Gatsal's Project Earth initiative, we ask you to send electronic letters via email to sponsorship@jhamtse.org. These letters are forwarded to the Community throughout the year and shared with the children. Sponsors will hear back from children once a year.

Typically, a letter from your child will arrive as part of Jhamtse Gatsal's annual sponsor update, which contains a letter to you, new photos of the child, and a report on how the child is doing from a teacher, Ama la (house mother), or school administrator.

As we share sponsor letters electronically, we ask that letters be kept to a couple of pages in length. Children love seeing pictures of you, your family, and/or your daily life. The children love to hear about your family, things you like to do, and what the world looks like where you live. These are subjects that translate easily across different environments and cultures and to a younger age group.

When writing, remember English is not the children’s first language. Short and simple communications are most successful; Ama las and older students may help translate for the younger ones, but mostly the children love looking at the letters independently. Many of the smallest kids are still learning to write the alphabets of the three languages they study. Their native Monpa language has no written form.

Birthdays

While we prioritize birthdays in our society, in Monpa culture, they customarily have little significance. Parents often don’t know the exact date of a child’s birth.

Sponsor a Child Today
Sponsor a Child Today

Your US tax-deductible contribution of just $35 a month connects a child living in extreme poverty with loving care and a quality education. Sponsoring a child will profoundly change the future for your child and other children, and will change your own life as well. Our sponsorship program is at the heart and soul of Jhamtse Gatsal. 

Our children arrive scared, neglected, abandoned, scrawny and subdued - with little hope for survival, let alone education. Many suffer from malnutrition and have run the risk of starvation. Access to clean water, reliable healthcare and preventative medicine in remote villages often means greater risk from even simple medical concerns. Your sponsorship will give these children a chance to heal. Your support provides:

  • A loving and compassionate home and family

  • Education

  • Nutritious food

  • Health and hygiene training

  • Medical and dental checkups

  • Support through higher education until their first day of work
