Beautiful students! I have 30 third year students, and 29 first year students.
Did you know that Tibetans don’t have family names? Many
children are named after a day of the week plus one or two syllables from a small bank of
names. Fortunately I don’t have any duplicates in my class, but 2 Bai, 2 Ci,
and a few Dan Zongs. They speak very quietly, and gently giggle when I massacre
their names. They really aren't as unhappy as the photos shows - they are just shy.
The overhead projector is unfortunately not useable, but chalk board is large! This class has all their subjects in this room - the instructors come to them. They stay in the same class for 3 years, so know each other quite well, often better than their family.

These 2 boys were in a ceremony to dedicate a statue of Confucius.
