Are you aware of the situation in Tibet?
2009 marks the 50th year since His Holiness the Dalai Lama has been in exile together with +/- 138,000 Tibetan exiles. During this time, the Tibetans have made remarkable progress establishing themselves in India with a Tibetan Parliament-in-exile as well as other essential areas, so that their unique culture is not lost because of the Chinese invasion of their country during the 1950s.
2008 highlighted Tibet in many ways because of the Chinese Government’s callous response to peaceful demonstrations in Tibet and throughout the world. The crack-down in Tibet continues unabated.
2010 - The Tibet Society of South Africa, which has been established for 15 years, will be focusing on creating a general awareness regarding the situation in Tibet. We are happy to come and give a talk based on a PowerPoint presentation if required or to show one of our many dvds.
