Since 2012 Khenpo Namdrol Rinpoche has undertaken a project to provide financial, tutoring and housing support for students in Nepal and Bhutan that are from families that can not afford to provide educational opportunities. Since the inception of the program it has provided support for 30 students in Nepal and 20 students in Bhutan. In Nepal at Satikhel near Rinpoche's retreat center at Yangleshod, Rinpoche has caused to be constructed a hostel to house older boys and girls near the Cardinal school that many of the students attend. The hostel provides a healthy atmosphere conducive to learning.
In the picture above you can see the students near the end-of-term. There are several who placed in the top 10% of their class and Khen Rinpoche awarded them gifts in recognition of their achievement.
