On the eve of Mother's Day, Namgyal Drolma, the "loving mother" of the Xizang Autonomous Region Children's Welfare Home, received the Hada, flowers and puppets from the children.

Namgyal Drolma, 35, became a "loving mother" in the welfare home of the Xizang Autonomous Region in early 2019. She stays with the children in the welfare home 24 hours a day, along with other 'caring mothers', and only has 40 days of vacation time per year.In the past eight years of her journey as a "loving mother", Namgyal Drolma has gone from being at a loss and uneasy at the beginning, to now being filled with tenderness and happiness. During her time accompanying and protecting her children, she truly felt the warmth and emotion brought by children.
