Tsering

Tsering is in need of sponsors!

Tsering is from a small village. She speaks Hindi, Monpa and English. She is a quiet but attentive girl. She is a deep thinker and a highly talented artist.

“When I grow up I want to help poor people. I also want to build a school and I will help them. I will teach the people to do good things and love to others.”

Her hobbies and talents include art and creative writing. When asked for ideas, she has excellent ones. In discussions, her points add value because they seem to stem from deep analysis.

Always with a smile on her face, Tsering is a helpful elder sister for the other children in her house. She regularly helps out her younger brothers and sisters with their studies and other work as well. Any chore you give to Tsering will be completed with a high quality and precise perfection. 

An introvert in nature, Tsering loves spending time with her friends. During free time, you would usually find her sitting with her friends at her favorite place.  

She loves reading as well and Harry Potter is her favorite book and Snape is her favorite character from the book. 

Tsering wants to study Tibetan medicine, where another student from Jhamtse Gatsal, Tenzin Drolma B is already studying. She wants to learn about medicinal plants and help people heal using natural methods. I am sure with her caring nature, she will be a perfect practitioner.

“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
