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.

Mud Fight

July 28, 2017;

A row has broken out in New Zealand, where thousands of dollars of taxpayers’ money has been spent on importing mud from South Korea for a music festival. Five tonnes of mud powder from Boryeong in South Korea, costing NZ$90,000 (US$68,000; £51,600) have been imported for Rotorua’s forthcoming Mudtopia festival and is said to represent good value for money. The cost is expected to be recouped from ticket sales.
