Books Arrived in Exile!
I am happy to announce that Books for Children has donated 2000 copies of Wonder Garden~ A Tale of an Old Dog and a Baby Rabbit~ to the education department of the Dalai Lama's Tibetan Government in exile, India, on March 7 2006. The books will be distributed to 82 refugee schools in India, Nepal and Bhutan, as gifts for Losar (Tibetan New Year.)
I thank again everyone who has supported me to make this happen, and I am praying that the Tibetan refugee children will enjoy my book.
Thank you very much! Rima
