The Katsel Infirmary The Katsel School Homepage Katsel is a village northeast of Lhasa, the capital of Tibet. It has never had a school or medical facilities. The Swedish Tibetan Society and the United States Tibetan Society undertook to provide an elementary school for the village of Katsel, for grades one through six.
All instruction is in the Tibetan language.
The school building was completed and classes began in March 1994. However, a medical dispensary is still lacking. This dispensary will not only treat students, but all citizens who arrive at its door. Basic medical care will be offered for simple injuries, anemia, dysentery, tuberculosis, malnutrition, hypertension, skin infections and other common ailments. The Pittsburgh Friends of Tibet needs your help to build this dispensary.
