Tawang Preview

Here are some pictures from Tawang (Tibet/India/China/Himalaya). We stayed at the orphanage for only 10 days, still it was hard to leave these people. I did art classes with some 50 kids. Super kids. And one day we did some football exercises. I got the girls to join in, and was happy with that. The jeep ride down from the mountains was amazingly scenic. More stories will follow. A big thanks to all the kids, Lama Jee and Dr. Maipal Singh.




The children getting a wash at the orphanage. Here I must refer to the famous song that goes like this: Aa vaske seg det er slettes ikke godt, boersten er boerstet og vannet er saa vaatt, nei skrubb g boerste og saapevann, er ikke noe for en roevermann.
