Today, they are seven years old â and completely different children. They laugh, play, learn, and explore the world in their own way.

Nima and Dawa were only 14 months old when they were transported from Bhutan to Melbourne for a life-saving operation at the Royal Childrenâs Hospital in 2018.
Conjoined twins are a rare phenomenon in which childrenâs bodies are physically connected, and separation is not always possible, especially if they share limbs or organs.
However, Nima and Dawa were successfully separated during a six-hour surgical procedure.
Their mother, Bhumchu Zangmo, said the girls are now healthy and attend second grade in Bhutan.
âThey are growing very well and are already very independent,â their mother says.
For their birthday, which they usually celebrate with friends with a small party and cake, the girls decided this time to spend the day differently â by visiting a local temple and feeding elderly people.
Bhumchu said that even the small joys are important to them.
