The Tibetan Welcome

On the day we arrived at Waka Orphanage School, we were greeted by the school kids, by their relatives, who came to visit for this one day, and we also met with the offiicals of the Derong County Educational Department who support the school. The reception was followed by the meeting with Derong government officials and relatives.
