With the changes that affected the global community with the Covid-19 pandemic, Namchod Kyetsel (Tibetan Language and Culture class) of the Tibetan Association of Northern California continued to offer classes virtually through Zoom.
We appreciate the efforts made, challenges braced, and adjustments made by Namchod Kyetsel principals, teachers, students, and parents to keep education and learning moving forward.
This year, the Namchod Kyetsel Parents Association stepped forward in creating an opportunity for students to showcase their Tibetan language strengths and to inspire each other to gain confidence as they take the steps into owning back a language that roots who they are.
Students are provided a virtual platform to present their skills and talents in Tibetan languages in any forms they choose: written, recitation, music, singing, dance, or any creative ideas. This is aired once a week on every Wednesday, coinciding with the Lhakar celebration.
This virtual presentation is open to all the youngsters.
Below are some of the virtual presentations made by the students of Namchod Kyetsel. We extend our heartfelt appreciation to the Parents Association for heading this program and thank you to all who participated
