The weather was beautiful in Nijmegen Saturday morning and in the cosy Lange Hezelstraat, a street with all small boutiques and moody cafes, it was over the heads.
At no. 38 is Tenzin Tibet House located, the shop selling Tibetan gift items and clothing from Tsultem Rinchen Dorjee and his Dutch wife Eline. Love brought Tsultem from India to Nijmegen.....
By Tibetan cultural objects at reasonable prices offer in the Netherlands and provide the necessary explanations, they are making their modest contribution to the preserving and raising awareness about Tibetan culture and Chinese repression in Tibet.
Tsultem was unfortunately abroad, but Eline enthusiastically accepted a packet of flyers and immediately started handing them out to the customers present. She also made a serious donation to the alphabet block project of Manjushri Educational Services འཇམ་དབྱངས་ཤེས་ཡོན་ཞབས་ཞུ་ཁང་། . I am very grateful to her!
The shop was crowded, Eline and I barely found time for a chat. Nijmegen people are Tibet-loving and the shop surely plays its part in that.
If you go to Nijmegen, be sure to drop in.
