Our Bir Tibetan community gym was created with the support of Khenpo Nawang Woser La, who played a key role in collecting sponsorship and donations from abroad to provide the gym equipment. The community hall itself already belonged to the community.

The gym was created to encourage fitness, discipline and a healthy lifestyle, while helping young people stay away from drugs and alcohol. It has become an important space for our youth and community.

There is now a proposal to close the gym and repurpose the hall for other uses. We respectfully ask the Dege Division and community leaders to reconsider this proposal and preserve the gym for the benefit of our youth and community.
