This past week I've settled fully in Deer Park Institute in Bir, officially starting my year of volunteer work! Deer Park's community work is focused mainly on ecology and education, and so far, I've been able to help construct a play-space/library for local children out of recyclable materials and start planning a secular ethics curriculum to be taught in the local Tibetan schools. I feel incredibly lucky to be given this opportunity to do such cool work at a place with such friendly staff and great facilities. And, of course, being in Bir, today I went paragliding! I'll update more on the actual substantive content of my work here as soon as it jacks up to full gear. Thank you for reading!
