TCEF began in the State of Montana, USA, which many of our Tibetan friends say reminds them of Tibet. TCEF was chartered by a group of Montanans, all of whose lives have been enriched in some degree by the Tibetans, their religion or culture. By helping to keep that culture and its people alive and well-educated we hope to return some of the blessings we have received.

March 10th marks the anniversary of the uprising of the Tibetan people in response to the occupation. It was at this time the Dalai Lama, spiritual and temporal leader of Tibet, was forced into exile in India.

His wisdom and statesmanship have guided the Tibetan movement along a peaceful path that has not only won His Holiness the Nobel Prize for Peace but also the admiration of the world.

Tibetan schools in exile operate within the broad framework of its host countries in Nepal and especially in India.

Right here – transforming Tibetan classrooms – is where we feel TCEF can make a vital difference. Maybe not for all Tibetan schools, but at least in a few select schools.

We spent much of its initial resources to help establish Kyitsel-ling Tibetan Children’s Education Center at Clement Town, North India. More information on Kyitsel-ling is now available at www.kyitseling.org. The foundation stone for Kyitsel-ling was laid by HH The Dalai Lama on 21 November 1997.
