Support the Bon Children's Home

The Bon Children's Home and The Bon Children's Welfare Center are located in Dolanji, Himachal Pradesh, India. These organizations are dedicated to educating and caring for Bon children whose families are in exile. Many children have been orphaned, or their families are too poor to care for them. All are here to receive an education that includes learning about their Bon-heritage.

The Bon Children`s Home counts today more than 280 children in the age from 3 to 20 years. Most of them are under 6 years old and need most attention.

Today, the home has a total of 4 buildings: a kitchen (with a storage area), a dormitory for the girls (with a dining hall and a separate area for the youngest children), a dormitory for the boys, and the office. In the past, 3 to 4 children had to share one bed, and perhaps even one blanket!

Others assist with the serving of food, or the laundry %u2014 which is especially hard in the winter when the water approaches the freezing point. While these efforts never impinge on the time devoted to scholastics, every student is thus able to add what they can to the community

Despite facing such challenges, it is the policy of BCH never to turn down a child in need. In January 2004, 40 new children (many of whom are extremely young) unexpectedly arrived at the school. With no one else for them to turn to, BCH gladly accepted responsibility for all of them. Since large groups of new arrivals such as this are not an uncommon occurrence,
