Monks who need sponsors
Each of the monks on this page need, and would be most grateful for, your sponsorship. The cost is $480 per year. This means for approximately a dollar and a half a day your generosity could help a young underprivileged boy gain an education and training that Rinpoche has specifically created to insure a positive outcome not only for future generations of Himalayan people, but the precious Dharma. It is a wonderful experience to be a sponsor and you are invited to participate in their lives, as much or as little, as you wish. Some sponsors correspond with their monks and learn about how their studies are progressing. Others even visit if they come to Nepal.
If you feel a connection with one of them or would like to help any of them, please note their reference number when reaching out to us.
