Children in Tibetan families have a special role in preserving the culture, the Buddhist Heritage and the language. Therefore, it is crucial to fund and provide the opportunities for
the refugee children to receive an education in their own language.
In exile children have the possibility to learn in their own language, something that is becoming exceedingly difficult and rare in Tibet under Chinese regime, as discussed by Sophie Richardson in LA Times. “In Tibet. It’s a crime to even talk about the value of mother-tongue education”, hence it is essential to fund and provide opportunities for refugee families to protect their heritage and culture.

བསྟན་འཛིན) is a Tibetan given name, considered auspicious. It means "the holder of Buddha Dharma". The given name of His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama, is also Tenzin བསྟན་འཛིན , Tenzin Gyatso.
We want to share with you some of the life stories of the Tibetan refugee children and give you an opportunity to read the original “thank you” letters from the children sent to the generous donors who have supported them and helped their families
Then came to college life, which was a tough task for me, as for the college I have to pay the fees and I don’t have like other students who had their parent besides them and guid them in everything and also don’t have to worry about the fees. I have my uncle here in India, but he is a monk and he did’nt earn anything, he study in the monastery. My parent and my sister are there in Tibet and they do the agriculture, which didn’t earm much income, just enough for them to have basic needs in home, so I never asked the for the study fees. I’m grateful enough for them to sent me in India for study.
I always appreciate those people who can help others to help themselves. This appreciation in mind brought me up in a such person that I want to be a person like them, who can help those who need help, so after my PUC I chose Social Work as my profession and joined St. Joseph’s College (Autonomous) in year 2017 and no I’m doing my second year. I want to continue my study in this profession and want to become a person who can help people in need in such a way that they can be dependent on themselves. The feeling of been help by other when you need in help is great, so everyone is same like that, so I want to put my hand to other and make them happy, so education is the key to success my goal, so I need your help. I will be very grateful for you, if you could help in my further study.
