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.
The residents of Gatoe town in Tridu county in Tibet have launched classes for people to learn basic skills. The people attending are aged 50-80 and are learning to read and write with the aim of improving their command of the Tibetan language. They can speak Tibetan but their basic education did not include literacy in Tibetan. Zilkar Monastery is providing the resources for the classes.
