Tsering

WHOO HOOO! Tsering is FULLY SPONSORED and not taking new sponsors at this time.
If you are a proud sponsor of Tsering (thank you!), please use the buttons below to make your payment.

Tsering is an enthusiastic and vibrant teenager. She is intelligent, consistent, and a brilliant student. She is artistic and has an aptitude for challenging tasks. Tsering has shown immense progress this year in all aspects.

To this day, Tsering remains very consistent in studies and extra-curricular activities. Tsering has a strong academic prowess. She performs very well in English, Science, Math, and Social Studies. She likes other languages like Hindi and Bhoti too. She is punctual with her classwork and homework. She is dedicated towards her assignments and assessments. She prefers to work to perfection.

She has excellent handwriting and is capable of creative writing too. She loves to work hard and see results. She is one of the first students to answer in class, take up challenges, and will work persistently till she achieves her end goal. She possesses a strong logical and analytical aptitude. She enjoys doing hands-on activities which were repeatedly observed during science experiments.

Her Amala (house mother) has reported that Tsering has improved drastically in behavior and emotional regulation. She is very organized. She helps in cleaning community spaces, her house, in the garden, and in other duties too. Her Amala mentioned that Tsering has learned to manage her anger very well, thinks before reacting, and is very particular with academics.

She dedicates her evenings after dinner for studies and spends some time reading or in art and craft before she sleeps.

This year, Tsering has enrolled herself as a core member of Project Earth (a community project that is working on striving to be a zero-waste community). It is a rewarding sight to watch Tsering with her infectious energy while working on this project. What is noteworthy is that she is the youngest core member of the project.

Tsering has improved in arts and crafts this year. She helped in making the paintings for the English classroom. She is also very good at material skills and figuring out engineering mechanisms that are currently being taught during Lakpar (experiential education classes). She made a fully functional sprinkler in one of these classes. Her Lakpar mentor mentioned that she is capable of understanding electronics, much faster than some older kids too.

For staff day, Tsering performed extremely well in two dance performances and her confidence was outstanding. She often performs dance and sings well too during class assemblies that happen every four to five months. Her music teacher mentioned that she has a good musical aptitude. She is learning both traditional and western music. She is currently learning the keyboard and the Dranyan (Tibetan Guitar) while also getting trained vocally.

Tsering has very strong leadership skills. She is capable of taking complete responsibility for classroom events. In the first assembly performance this year, she managed to train herself as the narrator for the entire week while participating in drama, music, and recitation. Sometimes Tsering is asked to slow down as her energy often confuses her classmates. She finishes her work before time which is also commendable.

Tsering is capable of working very hard. She is extremely active when intellectually stimulated. She has improved a lot with regard to teamwork, academic seriousness, and mood, and conflict resolution. She is a thinker and I strongly believe that her passion for being so active towards everything in life will take her a long way. As her teacher and mentor, I hope that Tsering achieves everything that she sets her mind to.

“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
