關於我們

The roots of this project can be traced to Ellis Tingstad’s trip to India in 1999, when he happened upon the village of Bakrour and the Tathagat School and fell in love with the children and the village community. Ellis has been fascinated by India and Buddhism since childhood, and through decades of reading on these subjects has become something of a self educated scholar. He loves children and photography and has used both of these to share the experience of village life in India with many others.
