Leaving her job in London, selling her home, leaving family &
friends, Lesley travelled to India to be a volunteer teacher in a
vocational training centre in Northern India. She learnt of the
struggles Tibetan children endure, escaping torture, violence and
oppression by the Chinese authorities in their homeland, Tibet.
They witnessed the torture and murder of parents, brothers and
uncles. They are educated in Tibetan schools in India, many are
orphans and destitute, For 2 years Lesley lived with the Tibetan
community in the VTC and then a mountain village, Rajpur,
undertaking voluntary work and raising sponsorship to support the
children s education. In this book Lesley describes her own ups and
downs of living with both Indian and Tibetan cultures and recounts
the poignant stories of the children, describing in their own words
the suffering they escaped and what their hopes are for the future.
