As of writing this post (Thursday, November 22, 2018 10:26 AM) the world population stands at 7,658,811,110. Of this total, female population stands at 3,795,646,969.
Now tell me - what does it take to be named one among 100 most influential women of the year, from among 3,795,646,969 women?
It takes someone like Dr. Tashi Zangmo of Bhutan Nuns Foundation. That is correct - she has been named as one among the 100 most influential women of 2018!

And, I am one proud Bhutanese - among 735,600++ - who is privileged to know Dr. Tashi personally. I had known her since the time she was working in the Ministry of Agriculture - few decades back.
She does Bhutan proud. I have, few minutes back, offered her my CONGRATULATIONS, which she richly deserves!
lovely...and yes, as an American, who once taught Tashi at university, I am so proud it makes me teary...her commitment, her vision, her relentless pursuit of better lives for Bhutan's nuns...stunning, stunning...thanks for your blog! Penny Gill
