Testimonials
The positive energy and work that circulates in this organisation attracts the kind of volunteers that easily connect with each other and create a small family in themselves. It’s a debate whether I’ve grown more attached to students or the staff.
I feel so lucky to have had the privilege of teaching at Lha. My students and friends taught me so much about life, happiness, beliefs, hope, laughter and our shared humanity. I truly miss them and feel so grateful to have had the opportunity to teach and learn from the people at Lha.
