The monk has changed the lives of hundreds of slum children who, until they met him, were either ragpickers or used to beg on the streets.
Lobsang Jamyang, a Tibetan monk who was born in Tibet but living in exile, is working hard to change the lives of slum children in Sarah village near Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh through education.
The monk has changed the lives of hundreds of slum children who, until they met him, were either ragpickers or used to beg on the streets.
The Tong-Len Charitable Trust, which he started two decades ago with two UK volunteers, has made a significant change in the lives of those slum children, who now have become doctors, engineers, and journalists. The Dalai Lama Trust also provides them with every possible help.
Lobsang Jamyang, founder Tong-Len, opened up on their journey, and said they tried to save the lives of slum children, and now many of them have made good careers.
“Initially in 2004, we tried to save the lives of slum children, and then we planned to provide them with primary education. Gradually, they reached middle school and then high school. They are very talented, and they reached college. They are capable of higher studies, and we support them. Some of them have now become doctors and engineers, and many are doing nursing training. One of our students, Dr Pinki, is a great inspiration for many students, and some are preparing for the NEET exam. We are also supporting some students who want to get coaching for UPSC, and some are preparing for allied services. So there are many such students,” he told ANI.
