Chokey dressed in jeansKathmandu, 20th September , 1981

Dear Chris, Gerry and Anke,

It's been a long time since we could not write you, but we certainly hope that you are keeping well and everything is going smoothley there.
As over here myself and Tsering Chokey are keeping fine and one more news to tell you that she is going to give a birth very soon. These days a part of my daily work I am trying to save more time to take care of her.
As I look to my past, I was a most fortunate young refugee among many Tibetans here to be able to meet you in Kathmandu.

Since I left my family behind the mountains I have no way to start a new life in a strange country. This made me feel very sad all the time.
Yet after meeting you I was totally changed and your kind words inspired me so much that I really feel I have a godfather to look for my future. Therefore Chokey and myself have a great hope that you will constantly keep us two in your kind heart.
Ever since I left Tibet I am completely in a different way of life in a new country. Therefore I 'm trying to work hard as I can. And for this I will be very gratefull if you kindly give me some constructive suggestions and advices towards my new way of life.

Both of us are always thinking towards your side and are always looking forward your next meeting with you. So please do send us some of those photos.
Chokey is sending her special regards to Anke Vos and hoping to hear from her some times.
With this I close my letterwith our warm regards to you all. Looking forward hearing from you soon. I'm closing these two photos of us for you all.
