Namgey is studying to be a bhoti teacher at a College for Higher Tibetan Studies.

”I am from the R.H.O village. Near my village there is a waterfall called, Jang Waterfall. It is famous in Arunachal Pradesh. It is very pleasant. We can hear it all the time. We are able to get close but we are not able to get in the water as it is very dangerous. The speed of the fall is very high.

I would like to teach language at Jhamtse Gatsal. The closest big city which is called Tawang is 50 km from our school. This city is also known as "The Hidden Paradise" as it is famous for one of the world's oldest monastery, Tawang Monastery.

I would like to teach the main morals of life to children, which will lead them to be great human beings. In my life the greatest teachers are my Ama las, Gen la and all other staff. I am learning a lot from them like how to practice to be kind person and how to care for other people. 

I am learning in classes but the learning outside the classes is useful and helpful for me. Whenever I am sick or in difficulties they (the members of Jhamtse) ask me about my situation and if needed take me to the hospital. Related to these types of caring I learned to care other people too.

The main reason to I’d like to become a singer is that when I listen to other singer's song I feel very happy. I could learn lots of new words whether it is Tibetan or Hindi song. I want to make other people happy and joyful too.”

My favorite adventure book is Mable’s Adventure. I enjoyed it very much while reading, because it was all about animals world and full of beautiful scenery.  My favourite biography books are Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., Che Guevara, and Abraham Lincoln.”

Two Stages by Namgey
All the people have two stages
First the born, second the death
No one can’t run away
From this two stages.
They are always with us.
They are best friend of us.
Every single person face this age
Even a small animal too.
Every work which we do
Will between these two stage.
They are the boundary of
Our people’s life.
Which stay first and last.

“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
