Tibetan students lead grassroots effort to aid earthquake victims

A truck loaded with supplies navigated the winding roads of the Xizang autonomous region, stopping in village after village in Lhaze county to distribute much-needed aid following the 6.8-magnitude earthquake that struck on Jan 7.

The truck was part of a grassroots effort led by a group of Tibetan college students, all around 20 years old, from Dranang county in Lhokha city, Xizang, studying at universities across China.
