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.

After three rounds of voting, Khenpo Sonam Tenphel (a Nyingma representative) and Pema Jungney (a U-Tsang representative) still drew with 22 votes each. Seven hours of deliberation concluded with the decision that each Speaker will serve for two and a half years.
