Dharamshala: Kalon Dolma Gyari of the Department of Security, Central Tibetan Administration, met with representatives from the Active Nonviolence Education Center (ANEC), including Administrative Officer Tsering Sonam and Finance Officer Pema Lhamo.

During the visit, the ANEC team presented the Kalon with Dekyi (བདེ་སྐྱིད་), an illustrated storybook portraying the life of a young girl from a nomadic family. The book sheds light on the hardships faced by thousands of Tibetan children placed in the PRC’s state-run, colonial-style boarding schools, as well as the emotional pain endured by their parents under assimilation-driven policies targeting Tibetan youth.
