Fire leaves 10,000 Bhutanese refugees homeless - 08 Mar 08

Fire has ripped through a refugee camp in Nepal destroying the homes of more than 10,000 people from nearby Bhutan.

More than 100,000 refugees from Bhutan have been living in Nepal after being forced to flee their Himalayan home in the 1990s.

Last year a deal was struck to resettle 60,000 of the refugees in the United States. But that controversial process is yet to begin.

Home is Where the Heart Is; a new charity set up to help displaced people around the world. The project which we are asking for peoples help for is to make a documentary about life in one of the Bhutanese refugee camps in order to spread awareness and raise funds to set up an arts center there for the refugees to use their cultural skills to earn money via an online store without being exploited.

Bhutan is a unique country and people in the world view of happiness based on fundamental human values principle, Bhutan and this Nepalese refuge were very far distance , 1 ethnic 2 religion 3 way of life .4 culture , so far , how can say that this people are Bhutanese no case,

[peterwangdi]

they deny our king who is so kind, our king welcome them back and a team from foreign ministry were sent to check "who belongs to which country" and register them, but the team were beaten black and blue by these people, that is violence and Bhutan is a peaceful nation and we don't want violence.

so, that is karma "what goes around comes around"

[karmaCOLAYEAH]
