Out Initiative:

We work closely with Lamaji. Lamaji, as we lovingly call him, is a monk in the small village of Padamchen (near Pangolakha Wildlife Sanctuary), East Sikkim, India. He wants us to run the camp along with us so that he can support a school and an orphanage. In fact the ground floor of our camp is where the orphanage is! So don’t be surprised to find kids helping you spot birds in the camp. Lamaji’s school supports around 110 students and manages to house 35 orphans. He manages to do so by the money we raise from our and some occasional direct funds that some visitors give him. Why does he do this? Well, he thinks not everyone is able to contribute to society in a big way. But that should not stop one from making small efforts to make the society a better place. He wants kids from the remote villages to be educated so that they can conserve their culture and environment. If not, these kids end up working in urban places which also leaves their native landscape unattended. Through his school he wants to empower the kids to take care of the society and the natural heritage of the region. How To Reach Our Camp? Closest Railway Station:
