On 17 December 2016, Tsem Rinpoche Foundation will be distributing school bags to deserving children to alleviate the financial burden of families in the lowest income group.

In collaboration, with Kechara Soup Kitchen, 60 school bags will be donated to school-going children living in Projek Perumahan Rakyat Desa Mentari in Kuala Lumpur, a low-cost project that houses former squatters from nearby areas.
