6. PROGRAM OBJECTIVE AND RATIONALE
Although most people are economically poor, the people of Beyul Khempalung maintain a rich culture of customs, festivals, architecture, dress and social values. Since Saisima village has been located on the mountain slope, we can see many big cracks above the village and below the village. So the people of Saisima are very much concerned about the people living in the monastery area, as there is danger of landslide at any time during the rainy season. Keeping this situation in mind, the local nuns and the local expressed their desire to shift the Gompa to Khasapar area safer place approximately 30 minutes from existing site. !This is completely safe from the landslide and monsoon.!!
