|ngondroPartialDetails=I have completed the prostrations, and I am close to finishing Vajrasattva. I have spoken to Druppon Lama Zangmo, and she confirmed my current speed is sufficient to finish before the retreat. I am also quitting my job as instructed by Tulku Damcho Rinpoche for my pre-ordination, so I will have more time to dedicate to my personal practice, making my progress faster than until now.

|offeredservicesdetails=Yes, I first started volunteering two months after I visited our center, first helping with small tasks regarding preparation for puja and organization of events. I quickly took over more tasks, including all social media and communication, our YouTube channel, taking care of our guest house, cleaning the premises, and any tasks that my Lama needed.

|othermoney=I currently have thre sponsors who can help me cover daily living costs and health insurance each month, but they are not in a position to offer a considerable amount for the retreat itself. I do not have any family support as I come from a Christian family that does not support Buddhism at all. The little personal savings (around a thousand USD) I have will most likely only help me cover some of the extra retreat costs not included in the main price itself (such as toiletries, medicine, or extra food). However, I have spoken to Druppon Lama Lodro, and she said she would help me find more sponsors if needed. But as of this moment, I don't have any sponsors to help me with the retreat itself.
