Studenten kiezen ' Bhutan' als hun Profielwerkstuk

Platform BVCN helps students in their project work. Below is one example. Een Democratie in Bhutan? Dit profielwerkstuk is gemaakt door: Reggie van Nuland. 5H4 en Miranda van de Burgt. (figuren zijn hier niet toegevoegd in dit site. Onze excuus: Webmaster) Voorwoord. Voordat we dit onderwerp gekozen hadden, hebben we er lang over nagedacht wat een geschikt onderwerp zou kunnen zijn. We wilden een onderzoek doen met een doel. Maar alles leek al op alle mogelijke manieren al te zijn uitgezocht of bedacht en zo was het lastig om een onderwerp te vinden dat ons nog kon uitdagen.

But just by traveling and mixing with the people I am confident we can generate an interest in Krsna consciousness. What's more, I am going to Bhutan to learn something." "Like what?" asked Sri Nama. "I have read that the government and the people of Bhutan are very careful to maintain their ancient spiritual culture wh...

American Dream Becomes Nightmare for Bhutanese Refugees

30 Bhutanese refugees took to suicide in USA since the 3rd country resettlement started in 2008, including 7 within the last three months alone. Source : The Wall Street Journal, 7/1/14 Bhutanese refugees living in the U.S. are finding a mismatch between the dream and the reality. Before Menuka Poudel left the refugee camp in Nepal where she and her family sheltered for almost two decades after being displaced from Bhutan, the 18-year-old spoke to me about her hopes of pursing her college education and living the American dream. Just over a year later, on Nov. 30, 2010, she was found by her mother hanging in an apartment in Phoenix Arizona, where her family had moved a month before. They had hoped to begin a new life under a resettlement program for Bhutanese refugees who had fled cultural and religious persecution. Ms. Poudel, who was still breathing when her mother found her, was taken to St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix where sh...
