A volunteer sharing his experience with the students

A simple closing ceremony marked the end of Tibet Charity language classes for the year 2016. The closing function was attended by the students, staff, and volunteers of Tibet Charity.

The coordinator of the education section began the closing function by thanking the volunteers for sparing their precious time and money in order to provide quality language education to the students of Tibet Charity who were mostly new comers from Tibet. She thanked the students for showing exemplary discipline and respect to the teachers.

The volunteers then took turns to share their experience with the students. They all praised the students for their dedication towards their studies. They all were of the opinion that they have learned much more than what they have taught during the course of their stay with the students.
