Founded in 1997, the Louisiana Himalaya association Inc. (LHA) is a grassroots social work organization dedicated to Social Work Services with Tibetan Refugees in the Himalayan regions of India and Nepal. Having made the treacherous journey by foot over the Himalayan Mountains to seek asylum, this displaced population faces monumental resettlement issues, especially in the fields of education, employment, healthcare, and housing. LHA fundraises and organizes volunteer efforts to support social service programs in India and Nepal which focus on these vital areas of life.
LHA has spent over a decade building a cross-cultural bridge which now functions to provide needed services to the Tibetan Community while making available their vast philosophical wisdom and profound cultural experience. Here in Louisiana, LHA works with Tulane University, Loyola University and Centenary College to host Tibetan teachers and organize Tibetan Cultural Events. These Universities also send student groups to India each summer.
Support their excellent work with attending their events when you can.
Both Lama Lakshey and Tsering have time set aside for one-on-one meetings for those of you that would like to schedule some time with them. Please remember that they are both raiseing funds for their social service projects so please do make donations whenever possible. You can contact them directly to schedule appointments:
