A Tibetan Buddhist monk took in 33 orphans after an earthquake in 2010 – now he is looking after 170 children.

Lama Lobsang originally started caring for the children on a temporary basis, but it has turned into a home for them, rather than orphanage, he told the BBC.

"It shouldn't be my job to take care of these kids but I had to do it," he says.

"They may be orphans, or from single-parent families," he says, "but I want to give them all a home."
