Kusho la’s headache

Kusho la – our eternal volunteer – stuffed too many envelopes today that he got a headache. He gets these kind of headaches quite frequently – especially when he spends long hours looking at paper. He also says that his blood gets hot following these headaches. His eyes get terribly bloodshot, like the red robes that he wears – I’ve seen them myself! But he’s all good and healthy the next day. After all, he’s a robust, bullet-proof monk!

Hackers and Envelopes

A typical day at the SFT headquarters office in New York City…Lhadon’s email account is often full of messages with virus-riden attachments, often sent by people who disagree with our work…Han’s managing a big mailing of thank you notes and appeals to donors, with volunteers stuffing day and night!

Sonam Yeshi, Fashion @ Tibet House, March 11th!

March 11th will be marked by the debut collection of Sonam Yeshi at Tibet House in New York City. She will unveil her 2005 Spring Collection, a union of traditional Tibetan and young wearable urban designs. Yeshi grew up in India in a community of Tibetans in exile. She came to New York to pursue apparel design, but not without a vivid awareness of her culture and desire to create designs that could make that culture more accessible by means of a more urban and functional language.

Interview with Lhadon Tethong at March 10th Rally

Lhadon was in fine form, as always, acting as M.C. for most of the March 10th activities, both at Dag Hamerskold park near the U.N., and at the Chinese Consulate. With numb hands, and hoarse voice, she took a moment to be interviewed for the blog- click on the link below to listen!
