Dalai Lama


1.) Who is he? (One sentece.)

2.) Why is he a "civic role model"? (3 sentences.)


The Dalai Lama is considered to be the spiritual and political leader of Tibet and currently, Tenzin Gyatso, a 73 year old Tibetan man, holds the title although he has been exiled.
The Dalai Lama is considered to be a "civic role model" because he is known around the world as a symbol of the struggle for freedom. Not only is he fighting for his own people, but he is fighting for people around the world. The Dalai Lama has won the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts.
