Choeyang, her family and a dog named Nancy Pelosi ...

We flew from Delhi to Dharamsala in the northern part of India on Monday February 14th and met the family we would be staying with for our two week volunteer service. We are at the home of Dorjee and Chuki (dad and mom) and Tenzin (uncle), and they live in the middle of busy Upper Dharamsala. Above is a picture of Choeyang, their 12 year old daughter, who speaks excellent English, and her friendly dog Nancy; an unusual name for a dog, much less a Tibetan dog! Choeyang tells us that she named her after Nancy Pelosi after her visit to Dharamsala two years ago.... we think of our great friend (and the best teacher ever!) Nancy Diedrich whenever we greet her, so Nancy is a day brightener for us.
