A Gift for The Village
(Special Event)
In June of this year fifteen individuals traveled 13,000 miles from Blacksburg, Virginia, to the remote west of Nepal to deliver a gift: an enormous sacred painting for thte village of Jomsom.
Our project has received the personal blessings of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, who knows the subject of Vance's painting, a rare Tibetan healer from Jomsom, named Amchi Tsampa Ngawang Lama.
The village held a huge festival to receive our gift, documented by videographers Jenna Swann and Tom Landon and by photographer Sherrie Austin.
Join us to sample sights, sounds and stories from the first festival ever held to celebrate a bond between Tibetan and Nepali communities and the people of southwest Virginia, especially the proud and resilient Hokies of Virginia Tech.
