Elderly Homes

McKown, Colleen. “Tibetan Elderly from South India Share Their Stories”. The Tibet International. 13 October 2011.

                This article discusses the conditions of elderly home. It give personal experience of several individuals. They discuss that these communities are much better than they would be in Tibet. After they fled they came to India with nothing. Now that they live in the elderly homes the government provides them with a home, food, and cloths. Much of the Tibetan nomads health problems originate from lack of hygiene. They also suffer from high blood pressure and breathing issues.

  1. Okay, I am just copying and pasting the same comment for everyone, but I recently just discovered this currently updated Indian blog list. Supposedly they are supposed to be cool ones or something and the guy that runs it is still updating it, so maybe it will be good? It covers a huge variety of topics, so maybe you guys can find some stuff specifically for your projects or just if you want some new stuff to do for background research or just to inspire new learning journals or something. I don't know. Do what you will. I am just sharing the wealth. I mean, I haven't gone through it entirely, so maybe it isn't wealthy, but oh well.
