WARNING - Chinese opera is VERY loud and VERY shrill!!!
In Tibet, we visited two different branches of the Braille Without Borders charity: a school for blind children in Lhasa and a farm for vocational training just outside Shigatse.
Braille Without Borders is an amazing charity, started by a blind German lady in 1997. Read about her amazing story and the help, hope and lifeline she's given to so many children at: http://www.braillewithoutborders.org/ENGLISH/index.html
In Lhasa, we met this little girl (whose name I unfortunately cannot remember), who is likely to leave to train to be a classical Chinese opera singer. A remarkable and stunning (if a little harsh on western ears!!) voice.
Importantly, the Braille Without Borders Paypal donation page, should you feel inspired to help them:
