🌿 A Day of Wellbeing at BIW! 🌿

On 5th September, the Bhutan Institute of Wellbeing had the joy of hosting the Scouts of Lungtenzampa Middle Secondary School for a special GNH Journey Teaser, a day-long experiential wellbeing session designed to introduce our young scouts to the heart of Gross National Happiness.

Through guided activities, mindful reflection, and interactive learning the students explored what well-being truly means beyond textbooks and beyond the classroom. It was inspiring to see how naturally these values align with the spirit of scouting:service, awareness, resilience and care for self and community. 🧭💚

At BIW, we believe that nurturing happiness and wellbeing must begin early and days like this remind us why that mission matters. A huge thank you to the scouts and teachers of Lungtenzampa MSS for bringing such energy and curiosity to the session!

Here's to raising a generation that values happiness not just as a feeling, but as a way of life. 🌸

Say no to drugs, and yes to a future of health and freedom for all.
