Farewell to Ms Chungkey la, our former Secretary With a heavy heart, Tibet House recently bid farewell to Ms. Chungkey la who was its Secretary for over fourteen years. She resigned on personal grounds. Chungkey la left behind a legacy of dedication to work and the interests of Tibet House. That is a source of inspiration for all the staff members. She stood out for her administrative skills, energy, honesty, and above all, for her caring attitude towards all. Tibet House will always remember her enormous Chungkey la contribution, which was not only in the service of this (Former Secretary, institution but for Buddha Dharma and Tibetan culture in Tibet House) general. As a cultural ambassador of H.H. the Dalai Lama, Tibet House feels a sense of loss at her departure. Her service to our beloved leader and Guru, HH the Dalai Lama, who is the living embodiment of peace and compassion, is exemplary. We all wish her a long, healthy life and success in all her endeavors.
