Tila

Bhutan

Tila has a shyness about her and a beautiful demeanor.  She speaks very little English and admits
that she is a little lazy about learning it. 
Her husband and 2 young children moved to the United States from a
refugee camp in Nepal, where she had lived since she was a young 8 year old,
having escaped her village in Bhutan during a time when an ethnic conflict
erupted between the indigenous people and those of Nepali ethnic
background.  She likes the United States,
she admits, though the winter is difficult. 
Her dream is simply to provide for her young family and “handsome”
husband.
