| speaking through the horn mike is rather a new experience |
I convey my heartiest gratefulness to Mr. Passang
Tshering for your great Ideologies, willing heart to share and ready hands to
help at all times. In fact you and your ideologies inspired me to dream big,
sir. I also put across my genuine gratitude to Mr. Ngawang P Phuntsho of (WAB)
for the creative ideas, moral support and a lot of books the café received.
The roles Drungkhag Adm. and each sectors played in
building this very café is unparalleled, thank you very much. I also put
forward my earnest appreciation to the Gup and the Gewog Administration,
community and public of Dophuchen Gewog for the level of awareness you accomplished
and the amount of support you rendered us, I am deeply touched by your kind gesture.
I am so indebted to you Mr. C.B Rai and family for
your readiness to sacrifice for this café, your readiness has rather made me
over use you. I am sorry and am very thankful for all that you did.
Mr. Buddha Lepcha,(business) Mr/s. Wang Tshering(business),
Mr. Deepen Chetri(business), Mr. Dorji(business), Mr. Tashi Tobgay(engineer),
Mr. Ghalley and Mr. Bhim (civil servants) and all the individuals for the
amount of time, energy, books and money you invested. Actually any society in
the world would love to have your presence and I am one such being showered
with bliss of your company. Thank you la…
As the count goes by, I am just short of words to
describe my gratefulness to the principal, Vice-principal, teachers and
students of Dorokha Central School. The support
I received since the day one is immense. The dream would have remained a dream
had it not for your presence, you all are the strength and weapon in making
this dream a reality. I owe you all the credit yet I know, no superlatives
would be enough to elucidate how indebted I am for you all. Thank you…

Sober Dream:- If Dorokha
offers hundred reasons to get drunk, the café offers you a reason to be sober
too…
Functioning
The
functioning of the café will be administered by a committee (volunteer members comprising donors, students,
civil servants and general public of Dorokha)
headed by an elected member secretary.
The roles of the committee:
ü Keep an account of the donations and contributions
received
ü Maintain the checklist of infrastructures procured
in the café
ü Monitor growth and the future of the café
The
infrastructure in the café shall depend solely on donors and contributors, in
the form of books (both new and second hand), old/new furniture, any reading
materials,etc
General
Service will be provided by the founder of the café during the weekends and
government holidays but now I am rather happy to announce that Mr. Megnath
Chapagai the caregiver of the school volunteered to provide his service during
his off hours…
Service norm
1.
Anyone
interested to learn can avail the services of the café
2.
Can contact the
café administering body any time if need be
3.
Will have to
deposit the cost of the book as a security deposit at the time of lending which
will be refunded at the time of returning the book back to café except for the
students.
Pardon me for making it long, please listen to me, for I
have a dream to share:-
1 1. Reading
year shall not end with 2015, rather 2015 shall kick start readings forever
2.May
the café grow with days to become a central of knowledge for all times to come
Thank
