Worth a thousand words

I had the opportunity to attend an Art of Living event in Dallas for Bhutanese refugees last week. These people of the mountains have had a very tough life. They had come to live in Bhutan in the 1890s primarily from Nepal and generations were settled in the country. In the 1980s thousands were forced to leave the country just because the king of Bhutan thought they were "different" people. You can read all about them here.  Some of these are really heartbreaking stories.

There was a senior AOL teacher in Dallas last week and he was to meet the Bhutanese refugees, share a little bit of knowledge and basically sing and dance. These people are amazing. I mean the whole energy level of the group was something else. The love, devotion of these people will simply melt your heart. And while I was clicking the entire group, this little girl caught my eyes. I absolutely loved the twinkle in her eyes.
