Congratulations to all the folks involved in making the World Refugee Day (WRD)a success in Twin Falls, Idaho. It is glad to know that the Bhagawat Gita and a few books written by Bhutanese writers were displayed during the exhibition. This is how we present our identity in this new place and educate the community where we live in about Bhutanese art, culture, heritage and cuisine. Great job!!
