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 Drichu River in Chamdo in Tibet has flooded, submerging the Polu Monastery in the Jomda district and affecting around 30,000 people living along its shores. Local residents had worked hard to protect the monastery, known to be at risk of flooding following two major landslides which recently blocked the river. The monastery will need to be rebuilt and many of the artefacts are lost.
