12 Dec WOSA In Bhutan
WOSA Asia’s formation last year has provided some much-needed encouragement for many alumni groups and networks in different regions to re-engage and strengthen their communities. One effort that we are quite excited to see building up, is from Bhutan. The alumni body from Bhutan is small, but represents a strong community of almost 100 alumni. While most of the world has struggled to meet one another in person over these past 18 months, alumni in Bhutan have had numerous in-person get-togethers. Many attendees are also members of WOSA Asia, continuing to pledge support for strengthening the community and Woodstock School.
Palden Tshering ’91, a council member of WOSA Asia adds, “Bhutan being a small country doesn’t mean we see each other regularly but its an advantage when an event is organized. The WS community here has always enjoyed opportunities to meet over the years and talk about our shared experiences of school. Recently almost everyone has signed up to be a WOSA Asia member which is great in keeping us all connected and in a position top help out when required.”
