DIANA  HESTER

Observer on China

When in China, don’t mention the “Three T’s.”  This is advice that we give to all the foreign travelers.  We tell them not to get involved in any kind

A Leader of Exiles
 
They have caused much suffering after taking over Tibet.  I’m fifty-three-years old now; I was born in Tibet.  I left my country at the age of eight, and I have never heard from my parents or my grandparents since we were occupied by China.

TASHI  LHAMO

A Caring Child Advocate

In most cases, we have in a year an average of five hundred that come across the border.  In most cases, children are accompanied by Tibetan traders between Nepal and Tibet.  Sometimes, young boys have come on their own.  They come in groups or with somebody who has a little knowledge about the route.  In most cases, other Tibetans bring in children. Traveling between the two nations is very difficult.  It is quite sad to listen to the stories of young children and how they escaped.  It is a treacherous trip whatever the age.
