She opened a teahouse with the money earned from selling tobacco. As there were many begging children to her teahouse, she wanted to open an orphanage. Originally a dozen children were adopted then many more came. At the moment, there are nearly 80 children in the orphanage. The income from the teahouse is far from enough to support the orphanage so the poor financial situation is improved by social support.Redan, son of Dazhen, came back from India after completing education in India and teaches English in Dickey. Also, he helps his mother with routine administration. (In Dickey many children’s English is almost the same as their mandarin Chinese.)In Tibet, it is nothing uncommon that young people speak English better than mandarin Chinese.Living condition here is simple. A yard is made up of two rows of bungalows with bunks in it.Dickey was comparatively good when there were only 30 to 40 children but with 70 to 80 children it becomes crowded. However, we can feel the passionate and sincere love from Mother Dazhen.In cold winter Mother Dazhen will move to the orphanage and live with the young kids. The youngest one is only 2 years old. It is a pity I did not meet Mother Dazhen for she went to hospital with a child, who had an operation. She stayed in the hospital later when I went to the teahouse.[/quote]
