It is in this setting that we\u00a0first encountered the small population of children to whom this book is dedicated. Hardened by the harsh climate and rugged geography of their environment, and animated by the simple joy of life, they display a wonderful mixture of curiosity, spontaneity, tactful shyness, rowdy courage, and a brimming, positive energy. It is infectious. It is also inspiring,\u00a0in a way which was perhaps best expressed by Sir Francis Younghusband over a century ago.<\/span><\/p>

\\\"If, while still impressed with the immensity of things as witnessed by the mountains and the stars, we turn our attention to the tiny gentian at our feet, we are moved by the tender graciousness which could have produced so fine a delicacy of beauty from such austere and terrible surroundings.\\\"<\/span>

\\\"Children of Zanskar\\\" was\u00a0originally\u00a0conceived as a means to raise money for the children of Lingshed. Following a successful Kickstarter campaign<\/a>, we were able to return to their valley and offer material support, all of which is documented<\/a> on this website.\u00a0Throughout our encounters, the book expanded into over 100-pages, bearing record to the beauties of Lingshed and the exceptional lives of its youngest inhabitants.<\/span><\/p>\",\r\n \"align\": \"top\",\r\n \"row\": 4,\r\n

It is in this setting that we\u00a0first encountered the small population of children to whom this book is dedicated. Hardened by the harsh climate and rugged geography of their environment, and animated by the simple joy of life, they display a wonderful mixture of curiosity, spontaneity, tactful shyness, rowdy courage, and a brimming, positive energy. It is infectious. It is also inspiring,\u00a0in a way which was perhaps best expressed by Sir Francis Younghusband over a century ago.<\/span><\/p>

\\\"Children of Zanskar\\\" was\u00a0originally\u00a0conceived as a means to raise money for the children of Lingshed. Following a successful Kickstarter campaign<\/a>, we were able to return to their valley and offer material support, all of which is documented<\/a> on this website.\u00a0Throughout our encounters, the book expanded into over 100-pages, bearing record to the beauties of Lingshed and the exceptional lives of its youngest inhabitants.<\/span><\/p>\",\r\n \"align\": \"top\",\r\n \"row\": 8,\r\n
