Ngatso Founder, Lhakpa has an opportunity to speak on Tseten Dorjee la’s Tibetan New Yorker Episode 10 on YouTube, where he explained the importance of the Ngatso website and the Ngatso Fest to rise within the communities. We hope this episode will provide a different perspective in enriching the Himalayan community. It is his little contribution to the many generations to come.

I wasn’t initially ready to appear on camera because there is still much work to be accomplished. However, given our shared thoughts and objectives with the Tibetan New Yorkers YouTube Channel team, I ultimately agreed to my first on-camera appearance. Our overarching aim has consistently revolved around inspiring our community members to generate innovative ideas and take proactive steps toward empowering every individual among us.
