Under Lha’s Livelihood Programme, new intakes of students started the Cookery, Massage and Spa Courses this month.
The second Cookery Course started on November 1, with 20 students who will do two months of intensive training with Mr Lekphel, learning about Oriental, Indian, Japanese and Korean cuisines.
The fourth Tibetan Traditional Massage and Spa Course started on November 15 with seven students participating. The training is being held at the Tibetan Health Spalon over the next three months; one month of class and two months of internship. The focus of the training is Tibetan traditional, Swedish and Aromatherapy massage. For this batch, two different classes are running to enable students with different time commitments to attend: one in the morning and one after 5 pm.
Lha’s Livelihood Programme trains Tibetans in employable skills. Most of the courses are free and a free lunch is included during the course. Lha hopes to make a contribution to reducing the number of unemployed Tibetans with these vocational courses.
