Promoting GNH Through Volunteerism
09/08/2026
The Sherubtse GNH Youth Club, under the Global and National Affairs Network (GNAN), conducted a volunteer service at Choekhortsi Shedra during the annual Yarney (Summer Retreat). The GNH unit volunteers assisted in preparing vegetables to support the monastic community during the retreat.
The initiative reflected the values of Gross National Happiness (GNH), particularly compassion, community vitality, cultural preservation, mindfulness, and selfless service. Through this simple act of volunteering, the students contributed to the well being of others while strengthening teamwork, social responsibility, and respect for Bhutanese spiritual traditions.
The activity reminded us that GNH is not only about individual happiness but also about promoting the well being and happiness of others through meaningful service.
The Sherubtse GNH Youth Club sincerely thanks all the volunteers for their time, dedication, and willingness to serve.
