Currently, our facilities are spread out across the Norbulingka campus. Our dream at AOTC is to be able to create a space just for AOTC which would include new classrooms, a teacher’s office, and a mess hall, as well as modern amenities such as hot water, street lamps, and computer access. Please consider donating to directly support the building of new facilities for our student.
