Description:
More than 130,000 Tibetans live in exile in India, Nepal, and Bhutan; nearly 20 percent of these exiles live in Nepal. Although they are now free to practice their religion and rebuild their cultural heritage, these exiles face many challenges as newcomers in Tibet's neighboring countries, especially in Nepal. Education for Tibetan children is a high priority for the exiles. Primary education schools called Tibetan Children's Villages were established by the Tibetan community in Nepal. These schools support religious practices in their studies and provide schooling in Buddhist philosophies as well as a variety of other areas such as English and computer skills.
