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 world’s largest Tibetan flag, a hot air balloon, has been flying at the international Balloon festival in Barneveld, Netherlands. The balloon received an enthusiastic reception from the International Campaign for Tibet, the Tibet Support Group and the Tibetan Community in the Netherlands and the pilot was offered traditional Tibetan ceremonial scarves (khatag) by the Tibetans there.
