Contact is taking a holiday!

Contact is taking a break after 25 years of bringing you news of Tibet and Tibetan issues. We are celebrating our 25 years by bringing you the story of Contact and the people who have made it happen, and our archive is still there for you to access at any time, and below you can read the story of Contact, how it came into being and the wonderful reflections of the people who have made it happen over the years.

When and how Contact will re-emerge and evolve will be determined by those who become involved.

Award Revoked

November 28, 2013;

The World Health Organisation (WHO) overturned its previous decision to grant the Kochon Award for contributions in the fight against tubercolosis to the Tibetan Delek Hospital in Dharamsala. It emerges that WHO director general Margaret Chan disapproved of the choice. China also opposed this selection because of the hospital’s connections to the Central Tibetan Administration.
