Rewalsar Community Project
Since the Chinese invasion of Tibet in 1949 almost 150,000 Tibetans have followed His Holiness, the Dalai Lama, into exile.
Many have settled in Northern India, in the foothills of the Himalayas.
Although India has helped the Tibetan refugees, many challenges still remain.
Rewalsar, in Himachal Pradesh, has a large Tibetan refugee community.
Though the Tibetans are resilient, work is scarce and earning a living is difficult.
Many Tibetan refugees lack formal schooling and the skills they have do not transfer easily to a new culture.
Those who cannot work, especially the young and old, face many hardships.
This is where your support can really make a difference.
