how can we help the tibetans?

Other than at a personal level, I don't see what we as a country can really do without jeopardizing our own interests. Tibetans can do without our help as they have thus far over decades. The most we can do  is to not hand back to the Chinese authorities those helpless Tibetans who flee to Nepal en route to Dharamshala and allow peaceful protests.

At the end of the day, the only thing we can really do is stay out of it all as we have so well done for the last fifty years. Nepal's blind eye policy towards Tibet has worked thus far, and while the idea of a "re-awakening" (to continue with the metaphor) sounds appealing, I don't think anyone at the policy making level in Nepal is ready for a shift in Nepal's Tibet policy.

Just my thoughts.
