Dawa Tshering, the former executive director, will continue to be actively involved in the foundation as the founder/advisor to the board and as a goodwill ambassador. He had to relinquish the executive functions in accordance with Bhutan Civil Society Rules that limit the founder to one or two terms.

He will serve in this capacity on a pro bono basis and will continue remaining in the country and taking up tasks, project formulation assignments, lead fund-raising and awareness campaigns as per the directions of the Chairperson.

Besides, Dawa’s story is the story abd the soul of the foundation. After his wife was struck with a stroke, Dawa decided no one should suffer like him, and he decided to start this foundation to help raise awareness on the disease and start a post-stroke care center.
