Tibetan Children

Tibetan Children http://www.annayork.com/Anna_York/Pictures/Pages/Come_to_See_Me_in_Tibet%21.html In 2009 Anna, Don and Emily York went to Tibet. While we were there, we met some wonderful children in the carpet factory in Shigatze, a town far out in the mountains. The children’s names are Penpa Dolma, Nyima Lhundup, Tashi Phuntsok, and Lobsang Tenzin. This is a story about them and our visit. We hope you like it. Hello! My name is Penpa, and I live in Tibet, a country on the other side of the world. http://www.annayork.com/Anna_York/Pictures/Pages/Come_to_See_Me_in_Tibet%21.html#0 c720bf32-2087-4725-b035-7a001e851fa8 http://www.annayork.com/Anna_York/Pictures/Pages/Come_to_See_Me_in_Tibet%21_files/Media/slide.001.jpg?derivative=thumb http://www.annayork.com/Anna_York/Pictures/Pages/Come_to_See_Me_in_Tibet%21_files/Media/slide.001.jpg?derivative=micro
