From the halls of Peking University to the mountains of Xizang, Drolma's journey is one for the books! 🎓➡️🏔️ After earning her degree, she returned to her homeland with a mission: to revive the rich tapestry of Tibetan crafts and uplift local women.
At the heart of her vision is Dropenling, a cozy workshop where tradition meets opportunity. Here, rural women learn Thangka appliqué—an intricate art form used to decorate sacred scrolls and monastery walls. With every stitch, they connect past legends to future dreams.
But Dropenling isn’t just about art. It’s a pathway to financial freedom. Skilled artisans can now earn up to 40,000 yuan each month, transforming their lives and boosting community spirit. 💪💰
Drolma’s story shows that when heritage and innovation weave together, traditions don’t fade—they flourish. Through Dropenling, ancient Tibetan crafts are alive and kicking, stitching hope into every thread. 🧵❤️
