Tashi is in need of sponsors!

Tashi’s love for animals is the first thing anyone would notice even before interacting with her. She shows immense affection for the cats and dogs in the community. She spends a lot of time with Zema, who is a German Shepherd. She sometimes brings injured animals to the classroom and asks for materials like boxes, waste clothes, or left-over food so that she can care for them. Her patients have included young mice, birds, kittens, and puppies.

Though she spends a lot of time with the animals, Tashi is a child who maintains good personal hygiene and takes care of her things. She takes good care of the classroom space in arranging, cleaning, and labeling things in the classroom. She proactively cleans the classroom alone on the weekends and even corrects her older siblings if they make the space dirty.

Tashi has a love for reading. One can always find one or two library books in her school bag. She has even been found hiding books in between her Math or Social textbooks. She sometimes reads to the class during our reflection time before we begin the day. One day she read about Koala bears, and on another day, she read the story of Malala, which led to a great discussion in the classroom. It wasn’t surprising when Tashi signed up to be a student librarian this year. She works in the school library during her lunch break and in the evenings. She manages the library space, helps children check-in and check out books, and helps to improve the community library.

Tashi has a gift in philosophy, which she doesn’t like to share or publish. But she leaves small notes in the classroom or writes her thoughts on the classroom blackboard. “People have two sides” is one of her many thoughts. In this, she writes, “People have two sides, positive and negative. Most people often show their positive side because some people feel happy, and some want others to see them happy. But some positive people are not always positive - they are more negative than the usual negative person. But some negative people are always negative. Don’t often trust positive people. Give a chance to a negative person. The only similarity between them is, they both can change.”
