ALUMNI TESTIMONIALS
“Being part of Pelsung has been a transformative journey for me. It pushed me beyond my comfort zone and helped me grow both personally and socially. I’ve had the opportunity to connect with diverse people, explore new experiences, and develop a stronger sense of purpose. Balancing it with college hasn’t always been easy, but the exposure and opportunities - especially through platforms like Nyingnor - have made it incredibly worthwhile. Pelsung didn’t just add to my life; it helped shape the path I’m on today.”
— Kinley Wangyel, Cohort 1
