Thank you for this beautiful message Dungse Rinpoche. We hope many children will thrive here for years to come.

We'd like to introduce you to our teacher, Thupten Phuntsok. Thupten has a big heart for his community. After being educated in India, he has returned to his home valley to help improve education and opportunities.

Here is Thupten's bio:

“I come from Tsum Valley, Nepal. When I was about six or seven years old, I went to India for my education and joined Tibetan Children’s Village (TCV) School, Suja.

At TCV Suja, I studied English, Tibetan, Science, Social Science, and Mathematics, along with participating in different games and sports. The school helped shape my academic foundation as well as my discipline, responsibility, and values.

Between 2015 and 2018, I actively volunteered in the Environment Club, where I took part in activities related to environmental awareness and service. In 2017, I also volunteered during the 34th Kagyu Monlam World Peace Puja held in Bodh Gaya, Bihar, India, supporting the organization and smooth running of the event.

I completed my high school education at Tibetan Children’s Village School, Suja, studying there from 2007 to 2018.

After finishing school, I chose to deepen my understanding of traditional knowledge and pursued studies in Tibetan Astro-Science at the Tibetan Medical and Astrological College. I studied there from 2020 to 2024 and successfully completed the course.

This journey reflects both my academic background and my interest in service, culture, and Tibetan traditional sciences.”

We are really happy to be working together, Thupten.

Stay tuned to meet our Kindergarten teacher, Miss Samita!
