Dolkar 5 & Tashi 6, Dharamsala, India
Dolkar and Tashi live in the Tibetan children’s village in upper Dharamsala along with 2,000 other Tibetan children that have been orphaned or sent out of Tibet by their parents. I was told that Dolkar was an extremely sensitive child but had adapted rather well since her arrival at the children’s village the previous year. Tashi who was orphaned as a baby has come to be known as the joker of their class.
