Tsering

Tsering is in need of sponsors!

Tsering is doing well in her studies. Though she is shy and speaks very little, she likes to participate in group activities. She is hardworking and punctual. She never misses her class and she is always on time. She is helpful and friendly. She doesn’t like to play but sometimes she plays badminton with her friends.

Whenever she has free time, she spends it studying. She loves studying Hindi and Bhoti. She has a good relationship with amalas (housemothers). She helps in house cleaning. She does give public speeches when she is motivated and given a chance. She gets nervous easily but she calms again in a few minutes and does her work carefully. On Saturday and Sunday, she helps Amalas in cleaning duties, gardening, and vermicompost.

She loves animals especially dogs. If she has a problem or difficulty she will share it with her close friends, not with everyone. She likes to read storybooks. She completes all her work honestly. She is respectful and helpful to all community members.

She is quiet and shy but has the biggest heart possible. She has been so quiet and shy, that the adults in the Community worried whether she will be able to come out of her shell. This year, she surprised us all.

Your Impact

“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

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

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
