Lhakpa's mother died. Her father works as a (live in) house servant and he is not able to keep a child with him, but he also did not want Lhakpa. She lived with a relative for a while, but they are very poor and not able to meet her needs. Lhakpa might have been abandoned on the streets, but someone brought her to one of our children's homes. With a sponsor's help, we are able to provide food, clothing, medical care and school fees for this little girl.

Tibet Projects

Tibet is a plateau region in Asia, just north of the Himalayas. As the highest inhabited area, it is called the "Roof Top of the world." After China took control of the country in the 1950's, refugee camps formed in the mountains of Nepal, where a steady flow of refugees to this day continue coming. Our Tibetan ministry is among these displaced Tibetan people. Many of the children and their parents were born in Nepal, but remain a separate ethnic people group within Nepal-clinging to their own culture. The Tibetan language includes numerous regional dialects. Tibetan Buddhism is the religion devoutly practiced by almost 100% of Tibetans. Most have never seen or heard of another Tibetan of any other faith.
