Campaigns & Projects

WE ARE TIBET is run by the Beholders Group (http://www.beholders.org). Beholders is run by a group of people interested in the Body, Mind and Spirit connection, as well as social, environmental and humanitarian causes. It is a project created and run by volunteers all around the world. We have nothing to sell anyone and any donations made to the group translate one hundred percent to services. No salaries are paid and no personal expenses covered.

The strength of the vigil comes from its consistency, from being there every week. It is part of the process of working for a liberated Tibet simply by being there. So you don't have to do anything special if you come, you've already done it just by turning up. It is a non-violent vigil. Those who wish to shout, do; those who don't want to, don't.

World Tibet Day (WTD) was initiated in Chicago in 1997 at an informal meeting between Tendzin Choegyal, the Dalai Lama’s younger brother and Richard Rosenkranz, a Pulitzer Prize nominee in history and a former correspondent from the US Senate. Rosenkranz proposed the concept of WTD, saying it could become an annual worldwide event, designed to help the Tibetan people regain essential freedoms.
