Chamdu very hesitantly asked me if I had taken a photo of the Dalai
Lama that she could have. She is the eldest of four children living
in a yak hair tent with her family in this very remote and rugged
area of the Changtang (Tibetan Plateau). Since there are no trees
or bushes at this 16,500 ft altitude the only fuel they have is
goat dung to get them through the long and bitter cold winter.
