"This project really 'REALLY MEANS A LOT' to me because the work that we're all doing is so critically needed. No matter how much I think about it, it comes down to this most basic point of collecting our own stories through our own means for our own communities here and there. Now when I say our, I'm mostly referring to the Tibetan part of it because as long as we have been in exile in India, Nepal, and so many other countries around the world, our stories have been told quite often by others. Imagine how you would feel if your story - something that you experienced yourself - is being told my someone else. As soon as that happens, you realize the missing parts, several misinterpretations and the "this is not what I think and how I feel really". Exactly. This is why this project so much matters because it represents the labor of love put in by mostly Tibetan young adults in the Boston area for our community here." - Tenzin Chokki, Medford, MA
