Good tea and goodbyes.

Another bout of illness and exploring what the passing of His Holiness the Dalai Lama may mean for the reincarnation of the next Dalai Lama.

Exploring the legal implications of governments-in-exile, combing through a new criminal code, and learning about a Tibetan holiday.

Two more visits to presentations at Hope Café, a look at the highest form of nonviolent protest in Tibet, and celebrating His Holiness the Dalai Lama's 89th birthday.

A really cool library, lots of meetings, more meetings, and self reflection from a place of privilege.

The U.S. gets involved and the monsoon arrives...

A week spent drafting legislation and recommendations for the CTA, losing a good hour to finding absolutely no case law about why harming horses is specifically mentioned in the US Code as an offense under stalking, and eagerly awaiting monsoon season (while also worrying about what exactly monsoon season will look like here in the mountains).

Visiting schools, exploring a fundamental right to education, and reading lots of case law.

Meeting the women behind the Tibetan Women Helpline, the Dharamshala Settlement Officer, and Sunanda.

Arriving to New Delhi, getting to Dharamshala, and starting my job with TLA.

A brief introduction to my time working with the Tibetan Legal Association internship in Dharamshala, India.
