You can see the Tibetan Children's Villages (TCV) - children leave Tibet ( alone - without their parent, sometimes with a guide sometimes just with other children ) and travel by foot to India. When they arrive to INdia they receive an audience with the Dalai Lama, and a sound education and upbringing from these schools, as they usually have no immediate family and no parents. At this above Village it is said to have over 4,000 children. It is a beautiful. Below are some of the goals they have listed on their website: http://www.tcv.org.in/mission.shtml
GOALS OF TCV
- Provide parental care and love
- Develop a sound understanding of Tibetan identity and culture
- Develop character and moral values
- Provide effective modern and Tibetan education
- Provide child -centered learning atmosphere in the schools
- Provide environment for physical and intellectual growth
- Provide suitable and effective life and career guidance for social and citizenship skills
