Tibetans affected by earthquake learn to drive

Evacuee Drolma Sherpa was about to pick up her two children from kindergarten after preparing lunch for the family, as her husband, Nyima Dorje, went out to practice driving.

They were among the 413 households evacuated to a settlement in the Tibetan city of Xigaze after the magnitude-7.9 earthquake hit Nepal and border areas of Tibet on April 25.

"We do not have work to do in the settlement, and going to a driver's school near the camp is meaningful," said Nyima Dorje.
