The OBS...The Voice of Orong

Initially it began as The Voice of Orong in 2008. There was not much response from the students. Many have never heard of it and had no experience on it. With a lot of reluctance from the students I went ahead of introducing it in the Club (Literary Club). I made them to read the stale news of the Kuensel and practice in the club beofre it was aired in the assembly. For few months, all the members had a tough time in reading (poor reading habit). As months passed by, they became more confident in their speaking and finally could make it in the Assembly courtyard only in 2009.
OBS going LIVE...
Ever since its establishment, much progress can be seen in the conduction of the program. Every saturday is the NEWS HOUR and Orong Boradcasting Service (OBS) broadcast news both in English and Dzongkha, alternatively for 15 minutes during the morning Assembly. Varities inlcude News Reading, Interviews (Hard Talk), Guest Appearance and Live Debates, which encourages a lot of students particiaption.
Debating LIVE on Drug Abuse
The main objective of introducing OBS was to help stududents gain some innsight into the world of news. Help them inculcate reading habits and become aware of events taking place in anad around their otherwise little world. Public Speaking is another objective, for they can prepare themselves for the real world. Preparation for the real world.

HH Chogyal Namkhai Norbu's visit to Bhutan!

Image
With Rimpoche at Tamzhing Monastery, Bumthang. It was really an honour to be a part of the entourage of HH Chogyal Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche. The Pilgrimage started from 2/9/2014 to 13/9/2014. The Dzongchen International Community, located at Marigar, Italy organised this 150 packs of tourists pilgrims from around the world with Rinpoche. I was fortunate enough to meet and serve Rinpoche personally during the entire tour. It was a memory to be remembered. A moment to be cherished through out my life. Last words...bidding farewell at Zhiwaling, Paro. Visit to the holiest shrine of Guru Padmasambhava, Kurje Bumthang.

She is the One!

Khina Maya Tamang, 45 She is from Dagapela and lives at Walakha ( 2.5 Kilometres away from Khuruthang Vegetable Market and the Public Toilet ). She has a child and earns around 6450/- per month and her last month's salary is yet to receive. She sweeps the entire vegetable market area and also looks after the only public toilet at Khuruthang. It almost takes a week for her to sweep the entire market. Sometimes she finds it unmanageable when vegetable vendors starts coming in for the weekend sale before Saturday.   Maintaining the only public toilet all by herself is also difficult. She can't help but helplessly watch as people come in and go out of the toilet. She watches them helplessly for she can speak no more than a word or two at a go for she suffers from speech impediment. Her ability to hear is also very low. Tears fills her eyes when she narrates how people as if like animals uses sticks and stones instead of water (for there is continuous flow of water in tap
