In 2002, Lha was asked by the Tulane University School of Social Work to assist a group of graduate social work students on an international social work exchange to Dharamsala. We facilitated the students’ engagement in social work projects within the Tibetan refugee and the local Indian communities, and our Cultural Exchange Program was born. We have been welcoming growing numbers of visiting school groups each year.

Currently, Lha works with student groups every summer from the Tulane School of Social Work, Tulane University, Centenary College, Loyola University, Rustic Path Way, Lifework International and other US universities and high schools. Most student groups come between May and the end of September, however other months are also available. Length of stay varies from between a week to a month.

Since the start of this program till date, approximately 1,580 students from international educational institutes have participated in our cultural exchange program.
