New Case History for Sponsorship
Since the occupation of Tibet, thousands of Tibetan fled Tibet and embarked on an arduous and perilous journey into exile. Subsequently, they took refuge in India, Nepal, and Bhutan. Inherently, the life of refugees is that of struggle, plagued by impoverishment and uncertain future. Nevertheless, under the guidance and aegis of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, it was decided that “Education” holds the key to preserve and sustain the Tibetan struggle for a longer time. Therefore, separate schools for the Tibetan children were established under the administration of the Department of Education, CTA. The DoE is the apex body which has the mandate to give guidance and oversee the education of the entire Tibetan community in exile. On 16th May 1999, DoE started a new organization (Sambhota Tibetan Schools Society) that would manage the schools which were erstwhile managed directly by the DoE. Sambhota primarily provides education in far-flung areas, providing wholesome education to those less privileged. Currently, we have 66 schools across India providing holistic education to the less fortunate and needy children living in India as refugees.
