The Bon Foundation-Support Bon-Menri Bon Child

Menri is a refuge for approximately 350 Bon children whose numbers increase each year. The children--many of whom are orphaned--are sent to Menri from poor regions in the borderlands of Tibet and Nepal for their sustenance and education. Some boys are sent to the Bon Children's Welfare Center to be trained as monks. Some girls are placed by their families at the Redna Menling Nunnery to be trained as nuns. Other boys and girls are placed by their families at the Bon Children's Home for shelter and basic education. All the children attend school together at the Central School for Tibetans in the Menri complex. The Bon Foundation forwards all children sponsorship money and donations to the Yungdrung Bon Monastic Center (YBMC), a not-for-profit foundation under the leadership of H. H. Menri Trizin 33rd, the Abbot of Menri. YBMC evaluates the needs of the children and disperses funds accordingly. The future of Bon depends upon the fate of these children. Please help them as much as you can!
