Far-Flung Postcards is a weekly sequence wherein NPR's worldwide correspondents share snapshots capturing moments from their lives and work world wide.

I used to be resting close to a playground, between interviews for a narrative on the shrinking variety of Tibetan youngsters in a boarding faculty constructed for them within the northern Indian metropolis of Dharamshala. This Himalayan valley is the place the Dalai Lama settled after fleeing Tibet, and so did hundreds of Tibetan refugees. The Tibetan diaspora in India is far smaller now, however the faculty continues to absorb Tibetan kids as boarders and teaches them about their heritage.

It was quiet within the Alpine cool of the afternoon — till a number of women rushed out of a constructing. They scrambled up play gear and goaded one another to leap off a platform that regarded excessive for little ones. A lady walked out — a housemother or a trainer — and scolded the women in Tibetan. They nodded obediently, and as quickly as the lady turned her again, they have been again to leaping off the platform once more. I used to be laughing as I took this image — I've a delicate spot for cheeky youngsters, and I like seeing how kids, irrespective of the place they're, discover a option to play.
