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.

Giving to Charity

July 2, 2015;

Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, 60, a Saudi Arabian billionaire, is donating his entire $32bn (£20bn; €29bn) fortune to charity. He said he had been inspired by the Gates Foundation and that his money would be used, among other things, to “foster cultural understanding”, “empower women”, and “provide vital disaster relief”. The donation will take place over several years, overseen by a board of trustees headed by Prince Alwaleed.
