  • Story Text: MORE TIBETAN REFUGEES ARE ARRIVING IN NORTHERN INDIA. MOST OF THEM FIND THEIR WAY TO LADAKH AND THE REFUGEE CAMP THERE. TODAY ABOUT 1,500 PEOPLE, YOUNG AND OLD, LIVE AT THE CAMP.

    WHILE THE ADULTS HELP IN BUILDING ROADS AND THE WOMEN KEEP HOME LIFE GOING, THE CHILDREN GO TO SCHOOL TO CONTINUE CLASS WORK MUCH AS IT WAS BEFORE THEY CAME TO INDIA.

    DURING THE SUMMER, AS AT PRESENT, LIFE IS ENJOYED IN THE OPEN -- MEALS AND CLASSES ARE TAKEN OUTSIDE, AND SO ARE THE CONSULTATIONS WITH THE CAMP DOCTOR AT HIS SIMPLE DISPENSARY.
