OUR WORK
Supporting a living model of love and compassion.
Jhamtse’s work begins in the daily life of Jhamtse Gatsal, where children and adults learn, care, work, and grow together. From there, what is lived and learned travels outward through education, ecological responsibility, storytelling, partnership, and shared practice.
JHAMTSE GATSAL
The work begins with a community.
Jhamtse supports a place where children can belong, be cared for, learn, build relationships, share responsibility, and grow into capable and compassionate people. Jhamtse Gatsal is both home and learning community—the living foundation beneath everything that follows.
LEARNING & GROWING
Nurturing the whole child.
Learning at Jhamtse brings heart, mind, and body together. Academic study is joined by reflection, relationships, practical participation, social and emotional growth, and learning beyond the classroom—so children can develop wisdom, compassion, and the skills to contribute.
VALUES IN PRACTICE
Love becomes a daily practice.
Love, compassion, responsibility, generosity, and interdependence are not taught only as ideas. They take shape as people reflect on their choices, care for one another, share ordinary work, offer service, and consider how each action touches the wider community.
SUSTAINING THE PLACE
Caring for the Earth and the future.
Caring for land, soil, food, water, energy, seeds, and materials helps sustain the community itself. It also gives children daily opportunities to understand ecological responsibility and to act with care for a world they share with others.
PEOPLE MAKE IT POSSIBLE
A community held by many hands.
Amalas, teachers, kitchen and land teams, administrators, support staff, and everyone who keeps daily life moving are part of the work. Their care, skill, constancy, and example create the environment in which children can flourish.
BEYOND THE COMMUNITY
What is lived here can travel outward.
Jhamtse shares its story and practice so that love and compassion can take root in other places. Films open a window into the community, Planting Kindness invites personal practice, and partners and Jhamtse organizations around the world help sustain and extend the work.
