Tibetan Children’s Village

"Others before self" is the driving mantra of the TCV. This focus on community and service creates a strong atmosphere of support and encourages the children to develop into kind and caring adults.
Newly arrived children line up for medical exams. The TCV provides these refugee children with everything they need to be healthy, happy, and educated.
One of the children supported by the TCV. In total, there are 1,700 children supported at the Dharamsala location.
During free times, nursery children are able to sit and enjoy tea or other snacks.

The Tibetan Children’s Village (TCV) was created over 50 years ago. TCV objective was to meet the needs of incoming refugee children escaping China/Tibet to come Dharamsala, India, where His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama still lives in exile.

When TFI’s Founder, Tom Nazario was in India as part of a UN delegation that’s when TFI learned of TCV schools. Through the UN delegation team, Tom reported stories the Tibetan children. There he learned why these children were coming, often alone, into India. When TFI was founded in 2007, TCV was one of the first programs we wanted to support.

We understand the number of children coming to India has declined in recent years, perhaps due in part to fewer Tibetan families in China having the money to pay the guides that send their children over the Himalayas. Those who have grown up under the care of TCV receive a sound education and are able to aid in preserving the history, language, and cultural identity of the Tibetan people.

As the film festival circuit winds down for our film, "Living on a Dollar a Day," we are still humbled and surprised to be selected for screenings.

We received a very kind review from a friend who attended the Free Film Festival in McLeod, India, where our film, "Living on a Dollar a Day" was screened on the final day.

He says in part: "People were saying the last film touched and inspired them. Loved the theme and felt sympathy for those deprived."

We're glad to hear this. The film is intended to encourage compassion. We hope so. Thank you to the Free Spirit Film Festival for selecting our film for their program this year! Congratulations to all the filmmakers!

Renée C Byer made a presentation at the World Affairs Council in San Francisco last week about her work as a photojournalist. If you missed Renee's talk, you can still see a couple dozen photographs from "Living on a Dollar a Day" hanging in the World Affairs Gallery. They will be there until October, so if you will be going to the Council for another event or happen to be in their neighborhood, stop in and check out this moving collection of images. Also, it's an interactive exhibit! Check out the App Renee helped create: youbridge.it/livingThank-you World Affairs for the wonderful reception in San Francisco for my "Living on a Dollar a Day," Interactive Exhibition. It was so great to see people engaging with the audience engagement APP YouBridge.it and to connect with new and old friends. The exhibit is on display at 312 Sutter Street, Suite 200 San Francisco, CA. Please SHARE and stop by and engage with your mobile device to learn more about extreme poverty.Thanks Paul Kitagaki Jr. for the lovely event pics!! ... See MoreSee Less

No better way to start the morning. We received this sweet photo from the kids at Mama Victoria in Lima, Peru. TFI had recently given them a grant to fix the roofing on their classrooms and library. They also sent us several photos of the construction and repairs, but this was the best image. Thank you to Hogar de la Esperanza Mamá Victoria for making our day :) Besos y abrazos to Nelly and all the kids! ... See MoreSee Less

The gifts from the Atlas Club visit to Cambodian Community Dream Organization CCDO keep giving. The 10 student reps from Atlas Club at Riverside High School in South Carolina who recently visited schools in Siem Reap, Cambodia, decided part of their donation to the CCDO should go towards giving the deserving scholarship students a field trip and break from their studies :) From the smiles, it looks like they had a good time! ...
