Ayang Rinpoche is looking for one or more volunteers to work at his monastery in Bylakuppe, South India. True Lhamo writes that they would like to find some retired teachers in mathematics, English, and computers who may be willing to teach the monks. Teaching other subjects, such as science and social studies, would be an added bonus.
The monastery also needs a nurse or doctor. The Two Camp Hospital first aid man retired, and they have not had anyone for many months. Ani Samten, who lives in the monastery guesthouse and is teaching English and hygiene to the monks, has been helping treat Class 4 monks for ringworm, but so much more is needed. The monastery would save much money on medicine if the monks had better hygiene, and a nurse or doctor would know about the medications that are needed for other conditions.
It would be very helpful if volunteers could stay for a full year. The monastery can provide food and lodging.
