In mid-March, Eva went to Amsterdam for consultations with ICT Europe Director Wangpo Tethong and its employees.
At the farewell, she was given a ceremonial white Katha scarf, symbolising purity and compassion, draped around her neck (main photo). And she returned home with some lovely appointments, a Tibetan flag, a string of prayer flags, stickers and other fun promotional gadgets To use on the go.
The beneficiary of the fundraising is not ICT Europe itself, but we are working together to support a special project. The funds raised will go directly to a new language project of Manjushri Educational Services at Dharamsala, India. They playfully produce culture-specific teaching materials for Tibetan children in exile in India and Nepal. Lest they forget their language and culture
Manjushri creates teaching materials for Tibetan preschoolers
China, which has occupied Tibet since 1959, bans teaching the Tibetan language in schools in Tibet. If the language extinction, the beautiful and peaceful Tibetan culture will also be lost. That, unfortunately, is China's endeavour.....
Two of the hashtags to draw attention to the new #cyclingforTibet Campaign are therefore #SaveTibetanLanguage and #KeepTibetCultureAlive.
More concrete information on the language project and the funds needed to get it up and running will follow via our media.

In Venice, I visited the Biennale at the Arsenale, the Giardini and various venues around the city. I also took the opportunity to see the Pinault collection at Punta della Dogana and a compelling exhibition by Michael Armitage at Palazzo Grassi.
