{"product_id":"tibetan-foothold-9781906011642","title":"Tibetan Foothold","description":"Tibetan Foothold is Dervla Murphy's account of the day-to-day life in an orphanage for Tibetan children in the refugee camps of Northern India in the 1960s. Dervla vividly describes the children's lives in squalor while a handful of dedicated volunteers do their best to feed and care for them, attempting to keep disease at bay with limited resources. Dervla's heart-rending account is interwoven with her own observations on the particular cultural and social problems associated with trying to help a people who have lived in isolation from the rest of the world, and she becomes a perceptive witness to the inner realities and sometime inadequacies of aid work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Eland Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/12\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781906011642\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.70d","brand":"Dervla Murphy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44273781440693,"sku":"9781906011642","price":29.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_92d19db2-1c1c-46d8-98fe-0f1cd3ad4784.jpg?v=1718082511","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/tibetan-foothold-9781906011642","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
