We are going to Rangrik in the Spiti Valley and providing beds for children that go to the Munsel Ling School there.Since 1962 when a large number of Tibetan refugees entered the Himalyan area of India, the Trans Himalayan Aid Society [TRAS] has been raising funds to help nurture children in need. Their mission is to support the health and education of children in this area. Children at the school were mostly born in India in Tibetan refugee families. Some children are still coming to the Spiti Valley from Tibet, but it can compromise the safety of their families left behind so not many come to India any more.
Sleeping Children is only one of several groups that are helping the children at the school. Since 2007 teams of students from the University of British Columbia [UBC] Global Heath Initiative have been working to evaluate the children's health and educate them on living healthy.
We are presently on the way to Manali with our driver Jeetu.
