Day 28 Update from the March

The marchers left Shiva at 7:00am this morning and walked 22 kilometers to Gannaur where they are staying in a Jain Temple.

Today’s walk was pleasant. The marchers took a break along the way for chai and biscuits.

When the marchers reached the Jain Temple, they had lunch and were treated to a guest talk by Khamtrul Rinpoche. Highlighting the critical timing and nature of the Tibetan People’s Uprising Movement, Rinpoche stated that while he cannot join the March physically, he is incredibly proud of all the marchers and their commitment to the Movement. Rinpoche presented each marcher with a khata (white scarf) before leaving and donated money for the marchers to have a nice dinner tonight. The marchers and the March organizers thank Rinpoche for this and his previous donations to the March
