ELST VOLUNTEERING PROJECTS SUMMER 2004

In 2004, in a new initiative, ELST provided financial and practical help to individuals and to small groups of Cambridge university volunteers. The projects, which took place during the long vacation, included :-

  • 2 teaching placements at Men-Tsee-Khang Medical and Astrological Institute in Dharamsala - teaching English to Tibetans
  • Teaching at a school in Nepal
  • Installing solar panels in a monastery in Nepal as part of an Engineers without Borders project

The feedback from the projects has been very positive with both Cambridge students and Tibetans benefiting enormously from the experience.
