"I am happy to learn that the Tibetan Sponsorship Schemes which has been founded by Kyabje Khensur Kangur Lobsang Thupten Rinpoche since 1989 has been engaged in supporting monk as well as lay students amongst our Tibetan communities in India. And since 2000, after Khensur Rinpoche made a visit to Tibet, the Gyalten Charity School has been set up and over 300 hundred students are being sponsored. Today their sponsorship for Tibetans both in exile and inside Tibet number over 1,300 students."

"I want to commend the wonderful work the Tibetan Sponsorship Schemes is doing and wish it continued success."
