Lha observed World Environment Day with a Tibetan Animals drawing competition at three different Tibetan schools (Upper TCV, Lower TCV, and Petoen School).

112 students took part. The top 10 students were given awards of INR 3,000 (US$43 / £35) each as a token of appreciation and their paintings have been uploaded onto Lha’s official Facebook page.   

The competition was sponsored by Michael Buckley who is an environmentalist and the author of Meltdown in Tibet.   In addition to the drawing competition,

Lha organised a special mass cleanup where we were joined by volunteers, students and Lha staff, all working together to collect trash from the TCV road end of Mcleod Ganj.
