🏔️ Tibetan Teen’s 20km Journey to Education & Dreams 🌟

In the rugged landscapes of Xizang Autonomous Region, 14-year-old Pasang Dondrup treks 20 kilometers weekly to reach his boarding school – a lifeline for kids in remote farming and herding communities. 🚌 His story? A rollercoaster of homesickness, resilience, and a blossoming dream to serve as a soldier. 💂♂️

From Tears to Triumph

Pasang’s journey began with tearful goodbyes and nights missing his family. But boarding school became his gateway to math, science, and friendships that feel like family. 📚✨ "At first, I counted days until vacation," he shares. "Now, I count lessons until my next goal."

A Soldier’s Dream Takes Root

Inspired by stories of bravery, Pasang now aims to join the military. "I want to protect our mountains and help others," he says, his voice steady with determination. His teachers call him a "natural leader" – proof that education fuels more than just grades. 🎯

Why This Matters

Over 80% of Xizang’s rural students now attend boarding schools, bridging gaps in this sparsely populated region. For Pasang and peers, it’s not just about distance – it’s about unlocking futures. 🌏💡
