writer and broadcaster George Woodcock. Some 80,000 Tibetans fled their
homeland in 1959 under threat of Chinese military repression. Initially,
two orphanages were established, The Society now operates a child
sponsorship program and is building four new settlement communities where
the Tibetans are able to grow their own crops and make and sell handicrafts,
