Today we got the visit of Rev. Geshe Pema Dorjee. He was very pleased with the success of our benefit concert. We had the opportunity to discuss what we could do with the amount collected(+/-6000€). We decided that half of the amount would go to the project of the village Rathankot and half would be going to the renovation of the class rooms at the monastery Porong Pelmo Choeding Monastery (www.bodong.org)plus the purchase of sports materials for the pupils.
The money will be transferred to the monastery and they will make up an overview of the various costs spent.
During our stay we would both have an in depth look at the works which could be financed by it.
Over lunch we had the opportunity to discuss the various issues together with some friends (from www.maketheswitch.be) belonging to the team which organised the concert.
