Lauri and the Red Robes

These days I am up to my eyes in M&E of Farmer groups and cooperative at Gewogs.  Now, you may be wondering why I am with agriculture this time. 

Due to the reform, the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock, particularly the Department of Agricultural Marketing and Cooperatives became our parent agency.  MoICE, now, is our stepmother. 

At half past five, we hit the road to Lauri. One day ahead, I informed the extension officers that we will be at the site around twenty past nine.  

But what I didn’t know is that I will be lost at sea to see Gomchens fill half of the chairs in the meeting room. 

For a bit, I wondered if they are kidding me.  I reconfirmed with the officials, who told me they are the chairpersons, secretaries, and accountants of the FGs and Cooperatives.

Strange! I was taken aback. 

However, they are the toast of Lauri Gewog -Labshay Nyenshay. 

So the lesson here is, འཛམ་བུ་གླིང་ལ་གང་ཡང་ཡོད། (Anything is possible)
