His Holiness the Dalai Lama warmly greeting a group of LHA volunteers and supporters

Group Travel To India

Volunteering with LHA changed the trajectory of my development as a physician. I returned three times since, and worked with other international social work and health organizations. LHA's approach is unique and rare. It ensures Western involvement does no harm, utilizing donated time and resources prudently, focusing on long-term relationships. LHA has a long, successful history of simultaneously helping Tibetan exile communities, and exposing Westerners to a culture which has much to teach.

Our Tibetan partners at Lha Charitable Trust host many international groups annually, coordinating volunteer activities, providing cultural and educational opportunities, and arrange accommodations and meals. Groups are generally limited to a maximum of 12 participants in order to assure personalized experiences. Donations made by these groups help support Lha Charitable Trust, and have been crucial to our Tibetan friends since the first Tulane University student group visited in 2002. Group trips have played a major role in the sustainability and self-sufficiency of Lha Charitable Trust. Thank you groups and group leaders!
