Dolker update for 2010 Wow its been a year

I looked at this blog and noticed that I have not posted anything for a year. Not really much has happened in that time that was worth reporting on. Nepal has been going through its never ending chaos and Lama has had his hands full with the orphanage and keeping things going. He has continued to work on the adoption when he can and this past year made arrangements with another organization in Nepal to continue with the paperwork. Lama Tenzin visited during this December and we were able to meet with a man who is owner of a Nepali restaurant in Berkeley who has had past connections with someone in the Nepali government. During our meeting he was able to give Lama Tenzin the name of the man who may be a high ranking official in the cabinet in the Nepal government. Politics being what they are knowing the right people can make a big difference. This was very encouraging for all of us however I remain cautiously optimistic because these connections are still tenuous.  We will see how the information pans out when Lama is able to get back to Nepal and can follow up.  One of the main items still needed is to have Dolkers father return to Kathmandu and sign her over... again to the proper organization. (This is a story for another blog post) Lama is in the US for fundraising and to promote the documentary film made about him rescuing kids from Dolpo.

I have uploaded a video clip done by a woman visiting CED orphanage last June of Dolker. Click here to view it. Tashi Delek (Tibetan Namaste) and Happy Holidays to all our friends and family.
