Autorenporträt
Kalsang Gyatso Kunor was born in Gampa, Tsang, Tibet, and fled to Sikkim in 1960 after the Chinese occupation of Tibet in 1959. He graduated from Enchey Senior Secondary School in 1973, earned a three-year diploma in Secretarial Practice in Bangalore (1975-1977) and took a Bachelor of Arts via correspondence from the University of Mysore (1978-1980). Kalsang served the Central Tibetan Administration in Dharamshala, India, for 19 years (1977-1996). In 1996, he moved to the U.S. under the Tibetan U.S. Resettlement Project, reuniting with his wife. He worked as a Personal Assistant to AVEDA founder Horst Rechelbacher and later as a Tibetan Bilingual Resource Specialist for the Madison Metropolitan School District for 21 years until retiring in 2021. He was one of the Wisconsin Tibetan Association's Board Members who established the Weekend Tibetan Language and Culture School in 1999 and part of its administrative and teaching staff for 23 years until he retired in July 2022.
