L.I.T was founded by Tsering Sangpo, in 2009. It started out as a small cooking school, and has grown into a fully fledged non profit school and cultural centre, run by volunteers and Gu Chu Sum members, the association for Tibetan ex-political prisoners.
Our mission:
1) To provide Tibetans with free education.
2) To educate tourists about the Tibetan situation.
3) To create a welcoming environment for both of these objectives to take place.
L.I.T. believes that through both education and communication about all aspects of Tibetan culture, Tibetan culture will remain alive despite China’s brutal occupation of the region. 
Therefore, during the day we offer a variety of classes including Tibetan Cooking, English grammar, and a conversation class. All of which are free-of-charge.
We also hold nightly events, in which we aim to mix fun with education for tourists, which are all free to attend, as our main aim is to spread the Tibetan issue to all and to share ideas about how people at a grassroots level can make a difference. 
The nightly events:
1) Monday Momo (dumpling) party with a movie
2) Tuesday Talk with an ex political prisoner and Thenthuk noodles
3) Friday Tibetan pizza and a Tibetan documentary
We really want to meet new students and volunteers who want to get involved and help us continue to grow, or even if you just want to come and watch a movie with us, we look forward to meeting you! Help us keep the fire of Tibet LIT!
