From Villagers to Ministers, Students to Authors, Friends to Family, collaborators from across the globe pay tribute to Her Majesty the Queen Mother Ashi Dorji Wangmo Wangchuck of Bhutan on her 70th birth anniversary and honour her legacy of compassion, leadership, and transformation.
Her Majesty the Queen Mother Ashi Dorji Wangmo Wangchuck of Bhutan has over the years built a legacy of empathy, compassion, and a nation empowered. Not only has the Tarayana Foundation, founded by her in 2003, reached out and connected with thousands in rural Bhutan, but her own life led with kindness and in the spirit of service has inspired many into similar paths.
As we celebrate Her Majesty’s 70th Birth Anniversary, authors, ministers, friends and family from across the world come together to commemorate Her Majesty and the deep impact she has had on their lives. Taking us through her early years of spirit and goodwill, her growing vision for Bhutan, the perilous journey she took to the nation’s remotest regions, and the resulting reforms brought about by the Tarayana Foundation, Footsteps of Compassion, a collection of 36 heart-warming personal narratives, is a testimony to Her Majesty’s unwavering leadership and the story of a nation led forward. With every step, the Queen Mother created a path of understanding and connection, unafraid to trod it and inspiring others to walk alongside her.
