Introduction

Because of poor economic condition, refrained from access to basic communication and transposition, children have to walk for days to reach nearby schools. In schools there is barely any presence of teachers. Deprived from infrastructures, textbooks; centralized curriculum, poverty and social exclusion are also factors that contribute in the development of quality education. Because education is the only hope for the children in Dolpo, supporting their future by sponsoring their education is a hope of light.
Having understood that survival is a daily struggle for people in these areas. Children from poor families and orphans are provided with free education, food and safe environment to live in. Guru Rinpoche an emissary of Lord Buddha has remained their guardian and family.
Snowland Ranag light of education has remained distinct from many schools in Kathmandu having 15 years of excellence educating the underprivileged, poor children from the mountain regions. Remaining one of the first Dolpa Schools providing quality education in Kathmandu, Guru Rinpoche believes in values of efficient and quality education to children from marginalized, underprivileged.
Sandy Wu, a follower of Guru Rinpoche once wrote, “He doesn’t ask his follower to make Gumbas for him. But he established a school in Kathmandu named ‘Snow Land Ranag Light of education.’ He is the father of the school established for poor and helpless.”
“I am relentlessly committed to providing quality education to children from marginalized and helpless communities, orphans and victims of conflict who have previously been deprived of the light of education,”- Guru Ranag Rinchen (Dolpo Buddha)

Current Status of Snowland

In this regard disciples of Dolpo Buddha round the globe and other helping hands have offered support for this dignified cause. SRLES currently runs two separate hostels for boys and girls. Though a lot effort have been made in order to achieve its goals, SRLES has certain problems such as teachers in social study, computer science and accountancy along with a nursing staff, maid, cleaner, office helper and gate keepers.
