Jharkot and the Tibetan School.

After our first visit in 2001 this is the 4th time we are visiting Jharkot and the Traditional Tibetan Medical Center and School. I used to recieve support from the Austrian NGO Ecohimal. Now Mohun, the school's principal, organizes support from differnent donors, mainly in Austria, German and the USA. See: http://www.jharkot-projekt-e-v.de/
