Meetings, scheming and fun in India…
I can’t believe I’ve been in India for over 3 weeks now! Time is flying by but we’ve accomplished a lot. I came for the International Tibet Support Network
(ITSN) meetings on the Olympics campaign and am now working with SFT India staff, board and volunteers on a 5-year plan. The ITSN meeting went really well and we’ve got a good plan to kick China’s butt around the Olympics. The 4-day meetings were attended by Tibetans and supporters from India, Sweden, Germany, Amsterdam, Switzerland, Britain, Canada and the U.S. I have been going to these meetings for the past 2 years and can safely say that this was the best organized and most productive. Those thugs running China and ruling Tibet have a lot to worry about in the coming years – watch out!
We’ve had 4 core group SFT India meetings and just last night finished the process of setting long and short-term objectives and prioritizing key projects. Lucky for us, the wonderful Dr. Tara Doyle (from Emory University Tibetan Studies Program) has allowed us to meet in her gorgeous old British-style summer
bungalow. It’s secluded on a hillside above McLeod Ganj and the perfect place for our meetings. We’ve been working late into the night, drinking lots of tea and eating delicious food cooked by the amazing chef Youngdrong. I must also mention that Tara makes a mean pot of chai which has been much appreciated through our long meetings and especially last night during a raging thunder storm. I’m off now to meet with Tenzin Tsundue and SFT India’s National Coordinator, Tenzin Choeying to make more plans for good trouble and then off to brief the Emory students on the Olympic plan. Looking forward to attending the Voice of Tibet 10th Anniversary concert tonight at TIPA featuring JJI Exile Brothers and Tsering Gyurme! Will write more later. xo Lhadon (SFT Executive Director)

I am really happy to have found this blog..and to see the work that is being done to raise awareness about Tibet. It’s important for Tibetans to remember their roots, and it’s even more important to ensure that Tibetans inside Tibet do not continue to suffer in the hands of China’s communist regime. More power to you, STF and ppl like Tenzin Tsundue!
