blog 7: Bhutan Monastery Schools get Children's Rights

In Bhutan the monasteries are changing some of their policies deal with the children monks. There are new things that are now in place that protect the rights of the children. In this area many children turn to becoming a Buddhist because they come from very poor families and they will have a better life if they turn to the monks. The daily life of the children consists of the religion practices and that is also changing for them.

The article does not talk about education but it was very important to see that these children did not have rights. It is hard to think about that children in the world do not have basic rights like children do in the United States.
