The Sherig Collection Takes Off!

The April 13, 2013 information session, celebrating the launch of the Rigsum Sherig Collection, introduced the collection to nearly 30 participants: teachers, librarians, school administrators, and government officials in Bhutan. Representatives were present from many schools in Thimphu and beyond, libraries and community centres, colleges and training institutes, and from the Ministry of Education's Dept. of Curriculum Research and Development.

Here are some:

• Jigme Namgyal LSS
• Zilukha LSS
• Changzamtog LSS
• Khasadrapchu MSS
• Kelki HSS
• Motithang HSS
• Bajo HSS
• Jigme Dorji Wangchuck Public Library (JDWPL)
• People's Project for Youth (Youth Welfare and Education Office)
• Royal Thimphu College
• Rigsum Institute of IT and Managment
• School for Lanaguage and Cultural Studies
• Royal Institute for Tourism & Hopitality

Several of the participants used the opportunity to copy the Sherig Collection to an external hard drive in order to install it at their educational organizations. We hope students and teachers at these institutions will soon enjoy the liberating power of learning!

If you are interested in the collection for your organization, please email us at sherig@rigsum-it.com and schedule a time to visit our lab and get the collection.
