Apart from the splendid scenic beauty and rich Tibetan cultural heritage, Mcleodganj has lot more to offer. Particularly this one place that I’m sure you’ll fall in love with.
Every child on this planet needs love, warmth and that affection of a family along with a good base of education. And, that’s exactly, the Tibetan Children’s Village has been providing to the refugee orphan kids since half-a century. Working under the directorship of Mrs.Jetsun Pema (the younger sibling of His Holiness Dalai Lama), TCV looks after over 15,000 children. Before visiting the place, I had this apprehension in my mind and kind of pictured it as just another drab orphanage.
However, much pleased and awe struck at those little 3 year old fingers who acted as my guide and introduced me to the corridors of laughter and smiles all around. I saw walls painted with dreams, of messages of peace to the world from the children of destitute families. I witnessed the children of future. Only a heart full of sorrow can understand the language of love over violence.
Like H.H. 14th Dalai Lama once said, “If we teach meditation to every 8 yr old, we can end violence in a generation.” They say it’s a village for the orphans, I’d say, it’s a village filled with hopes and dreams.
