Dolkar and Tashi live in the Tibetan children’s village in upper Dharamsala along with2,000 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 has adapted rather well since her arrival at the children’s village over a year ago. Tashi who was orpaned as a baby has come to be known as the joker of their class.
