From now onwards, we will try to provide updated progress reports of the different projects on the sites of our nunneries.
DRUK AMITABHA MOUNTAIN, KATHMANDU - BEDS FOR NUNS
Thanks mainly to the donation from Lena Tan, Jigme Phende's sister, and also partly to His Holiness's financial support, 150 beds were being made. Many of us have had health problems, due to sleeping on cement floors with very thin layer of floor coverings. But now, this problem is resolved. We are still thinking of making another 100 beds, so that the remaining nuns and the new nuns will also be spared from health problems.
