Dear Ngawang la,

It is my sincere pleasure to congratulate the Lha Charitable Trust for 20 years of distinguished service. Since 2010, GoBeyond has been honored to send high school students to work with Lha on its Mutual Learning Partner program. Few words can express the impact that this cultural exchange has on our teen students. As individuals, our students grow in profound ways – having the in-depth exposure to Tibetan people, culture, and issues often seeds new perspectives on the world and their lives back home.

We are tremendously grateful to your organization for providing such a rich and meaningful service, both for our students and for the Tibetans whom you serve. It is very common for us to hear that the most rewarding aspect of a student’s stay in Dharamsala is the relationship they formed with Lha and their MLP. Perhaps the words of former participants and their parents may best capture the significance of your program…

“The service projects provided me with tons of new knowledge on the subject of Tibetan exiles and allowed me not only to understand the Tibetan exile situation, but to connect with those impacted as w ell. Teaching them English and learning about their lifestyle was anamazing and rewarding experience.” – Kathryn S., 2013

“Rebecca came back with a changed perspective that, I believe, will impact her for the rest of her life.” – Linda S., 2013

“We were able to con nect with the community though service (Lha) easily, and I left passionate for the Tibetan situation.” – John M., 2015

“ I really enjoyed the program, and I learned a lot. It was a really amazing experience, and I’m so happy I went. GoBeyond students engage in service experiences that really aim to help the communities they work with. ” – Maxwell H., 2017

“The experience of spending time with refugees from Tibet has made a big impression on my daughter . It has strengthened her resolve to d o something to bette r the world.” – Michael M., 2017

With great cheer, we applaud Lha on its anniversary, and we look forward to many more years of our extraordinary partnership. Sincerely,

Dan Meyer Director of Operations
