LADF – Lingshed Area Development Foundation
Geshe Ngawang Changchup from Ladakh (Indian Himalaya) has been supporting the people of his village Lingshed for many years. His projects include: establishing a nunnery, educating children and adults in Lingshed, establishing a residential hostel in Leh for high school students, helping needy and disabled children, or training amchis (traditional healers).
With my friend Doris and other interested people, we regularly go to Ladakh and deliver the donations personally.
For more information read the flyer, there are also the details on how to make a donation.
Our next trip to Ladakh is planned, however we have no fixed date yet.
