Shimla: Moved by the plight of an orphaned girl who was sexually exploited and raped by her relative and gave birth to a child in a Shimla hospital, a Tibetan charity run by a disciple of the Dalai Lama yesterday showed interest in adopting them.
“We are ready to take care of both the girl and the child. We will sponsor her (mother’s) education,” said Tibetan monk Jamyang, who is running charity Tong-len Charitable Trust on the outskirts of Dharamsala, the seat of the Tibetan government-in-exile.
On being told by IANS about the plight of the girl and her child, Jamyang immediately replied: “We will look after them, provided we fulfil all the legal formalities.”
