Aysa Okonova, About the Dalai Lama's Teachings in Riga

Aysa is a volunteer at the Central Temple in Elista, Kalmykia, and works for the charitable fund Buyn which helps poor families with many children.

It is her first time at the Dalai Lama’s teachings. She expresses her gratitude to the Central Temple in Elista for the opportunity to participate in this event.Sponsored by Arcadia Fund, a charitable fund of Lisbet Rausing and Peter Baldwin
