Tibet GIrls School Opens

September 2008

We are thrilled to announce that the Tibet GIrls School is officially open and the first group of girls has arrived to begin their education. Thank you to everyone who has supported this exciting and meaningful project. Additional contributions will allow the school to expand and include girls who are on the waiting list to come. Please enjoy some of our first photos of our students and teachers at work.
