Dorje Dolma
Dorje Dolma was born in the remote Dolpo region of Nepal, high in the mountains bordering Tibet. To find help for a life-threatening health condition, her parents took her at age ten on a month-long trek to Kathmandu, where they encountered westerners who brought Dorje to the United States for the surgery that saved her life. Dorje graduated from the University of Colorado with a degree in Fine Arts, worked as a pre-school teacher, and continues to develop her art. She will donate part of the proceeds from her book to help provide medical care to Dolpo.
