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.

Helpful Monk

March 25, 2014;

A Tibetan monk living in Wales, UK, has helped a teenage runaway from Germany reunite with his family, reported Wales online. Lama Lobsang Topgyal spotted Tilo Yaye, 18, sleeping outside Cardiff Market two months ago. Tilo, who has mental health problems, had fled his home in Lüneburg, Germany. Tilo is not the first person Lobsang Topgyal has helped off the streets, he offers refuge at his flat to people he meets who are experiencing marriage problems and family fall-outs.
