Meet an old lady in Tibetan camp Pokhara. She is one of those who decided to leave Tibet after it was captured by China in 1950's. She travelled for 1 month and came pokhara via upper mustang, kagbeni, then beni. Her family , relatives got scattered to Tibet and Nepal.
She is now 73 years old, still energetic,hard working, and cheerful. she wish that she could see free Tibet in her life and worries about her children's and grandchildren life's.
And says "what to do son, Chinese didn't let us to live in our own country. Now I am here And will die in Pokhara"
More than 20000 Tibetan refugees (up to third generation) now settles in 12 refugee camps (4 in pokhara, 8 in Kathmandu) all over Nepal. Neither they are citizens of Nepal nor they could be real Tibetans. They make their livelihood by knitting carpet & woolen clothes, selling antiques & goods.
They are thankful to Red Cross, Doners, Nepali government who made their life easier to settle here in Nepal.
