Happiness Matters: Tshering Tobgay at TEDxThimphu

Ramona Hunter and her husband Brad were intrigued with the idea of Gross National Happiness. So they took a trip with National Geographic to Buhtan.

Ramona had travelled to Asia in the past, and always wanted to return to Buhtan, which is the first country in the world to pursue happiness as a state policy.

They have broken down the precepts to basic needs:

• Security
• Identity
• Purpose

This includes psychological well-being, health, education, time-use, community vitality, ecological diversity, and living standards.

Ramona takes us on a guided tour of Buhtan and its culture.

CASA

CASA volunteers are community members who provide consistent support to children in foster care, helping them find permanent, safe homes. They work with various individuals involved in a child's life, including foster parents, biological families, and the court system.
