Thursday, August 10, 2023 at 08:05PM THE CHILDREN OF TIBET…FROM EXILE TO HOPE
Founded by the Dalai Lama in 1960, ten years after China's invasion of Tibet that forced150,000 Tibetans into exile in India, The Children's Villages were created to provide Tibetan children with an education that encompasses and strives to preserve all aspects of traditional Tibetan life, culture, art, music, literature, and philosophy.
In The Children's Villages, the schoolchildren are offered a complete education, and their adage is "Come to learn, leave to serve".

India is currently home to a dozen Tibetan Children's Villages, welcoming more than 6,000 schoolchildren from 3 to 18 years old each year.
We watch Village Children live in complete autonomy, studying, playing, working, and taking care of themselves under the supervision of their "aya" or "second mother".
We get to know a family with three generations living under the same roof, sharing the daily life of the Tibetans.
We attend the celebrations of Losar, their New Year, the annual commemoration of the Tibetan drama of March 10, 1959, a revolt against the Chinese invaders that ended in a Tibetan bloodbath.
In Ladakh, we experience the arrival of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and his exceptional visit to The Children's Village.
