Jhamtse Gatsal Children's Community

Jhamtse Gatsal Children's Community A transformative community in the Himalayas, rooted in love and compassion, cultivating education, sustainability, and growth for all ages.

Lobsang Phuntsok, a Buddhist monk from the Tawang District of Arunachal Pradesh, India, long dreamed of helping to serve the needs of the remote Himalayan region where he was born. Lobsang envisioned an educational Community where at-risk children from these impoverished villages could thrive and learn in an environment founded on the principles of love, compassion, and wisdom which were at the co

re of his own Buddhist upbringing. His inspiration was to share the blessings of education and the opportunities he had received during his experience growing up at Sera Je Monastery in southern India and his travels around the world. Lobsang’s dream was realized when Jhamtse Gatsal opened its doors in 2006, welcoming 34 of the most at-risk children from local villages, three teachers, two housemothers, and three support staff. This was made possible by the support of Jhamtse International. Today, Jhamtse Gatsal is a vibrant thriving Community sustained by a dedicated staff. We have a dream for the Community and its facilities to continue to grow, adding a new class of students each year, until we have about 200 students from grades K-12.

Another Moment of Pride for the Jhamtse Family ✨

Today, we celebrate the incredible achievement of Kalden G, who was honored by the Honorable Chief Minister of Arunachal Pradesh, Pema Khandu for his outstanding performance in the CBSE Class 10 examination.

Kalden secured 2nd position in the state and 1st position in the district, a remarkable milestone that reflects his hard work, determination, and perseverance.

While Kalden was unable to attend the ceremony, his mother proudly received the award on his behalf—a beautiful reminder that every achievement is carried by the love and support of family.

At Jhamtse, moments like these inspire us to continue nurturing dreams, building confidence, and empowering children to reach their fullest potential.

Congratulations, Kalden! Your Jhamtse family is proud of you, and we can’t wait to see where your journey takes you next.

“I never imagined that I would one day travel to another country. Today, Jhamtse has given me the opportunity not only to travel, but also to share the story of our lives and our community.” — Ama Tenzin

For the first time, Ama Tenzin, Rinchen, and Raju traveled to Singapore to share the story of Jhamtse—a story of love, belonging, and transformation.

Having grown up in this community, Rinchen and Raju are living examples of what compassion, guidance, and opportunity can nurture. Standing alongside Ama Tenzin, whose care has helped raise generations of children, they carried the hopes, gratitude, and spirit of the entire Jhamtse family.

This is the heart of Jhamtse: children raised with love who grow into compassionate adults and give that love back to the world.

To the Buddhist Fellowship, our sponsors, donors, and friends—thank you. Your kindness continues to change lives in ways that reach far beyond what we can see.

Imagine hundreds of people spending the week reflecting on how to bring more love and compassion into their lives.

That’s what is happening in the 5-day mini-pod group that Service Space created. Each reflection inspired by the movie Loving Karma.

We’ve been SO touched by everyone’s shares.

We are half way through the daily reflections and there is still a chance for you to join!

This week was all about giving your whole heart, mind & body.

Community Week at Jhamtse looked like this: four teams, one field, every age running, jumping, singing, dancing together.
The rain came. The energy and the emotions only grew louder.
This is what the end of a year looks like when it’s done with Love & Team spirit.
