Gyelek and Tshering, brother and sister, attend school in Darjeeling. Gyelek and Tshering are conscientious students. Loreto Convent is an all-girl's school where we are sponsoring several children who are doing exceptionally well academically. About the Tibetan Children's Fund More than 100 Tibetan refugee children are currently sponsored in Darjeeling, Kalimpong, Sonoda, and rural areas of Northern India. All overhead expenses are borne by corporate sponsors.
Volunteers pay their own travel and living expenses.
All money donated by individuals goes straight to the children, either through their schools or the Tibetan Welfare Office. TCF only sponsors Tibetan children. Their progress is monitored by the Board of Directors, who pay special attention to progress in English, math and science. TCF sponsorship is contingent on maintaining high scholastic standards. TCF has developed a strong presence at the Central Schools for Tibetans, with participating co-operation of the Tibetan Welfare Office, a unit of the Tibetan Government in Exile.
