On our 2013 aid mission to the Gumpa Centre in Kathmandu, Nepal, (see attached 2 photos) FTLOCS had provided $2,000 in funding for the Centre’s running costs and were pleased to learn that with the addition of the temple and monastery it has become more self- sufficient. The Society helped build this orphanage to help homeless Nepalese and Tibetan children that currently has 25 children residing. Tashi Lama, the priest is also conducting monastery teaching for other children in this district. This year an additional $1,200 was provided to the Centre for food, clothing, educational supplies and $1,666 for tiles to repair the roof.
