Passang Dolma

These are the girls we brought down from Dharmsala to Delhi for the first few days our Bhutan adventure. We stayed in New Delhi, India for 4 days before flying to Bhutan for two weeks. We have been sponsoring/supporting Passang Dolma for 10 or 12 years.The girl on the right is Passang, our Tibetan "daughter". Her sister Tsedong is in the middle. Born in Llasa, Tibet, they escaped at age aprox 6, one with their mother and at a separate time one with the father who was subsequently killed. Neither girl knows her actual birth date, nor their last name, their family name. I don't know exactly why they don't know these things. We weren't able to get at that piece of info, undoubtedly a story there.
