Thanks for amazing food, guys, it was a pleasure working with all of you last weekend – our team is very much looking forward to the coming sessions!
We are now working with ARA and the Bhutanese community to support them to secure funding for their own media equipment, so that they can continue their training and create media in between workshops. This also is part of our strategy to support the team to build up their own micro business. Anyone who has ideas for additional funds to support them, please contact us!
