Things are hotting up here in Dharamasala, capital of the Tibetans in exile. SFT are running the first SFT Action Camp to take place in India and it's starting in a few days. There's accomodation, workshops, transport, banners, participants, weather, ropes, flip-charts, ice-breakers and a hoast of other logistics to think about for the crack team of Tibetans organising this camp. Oh yeah, and not forgetting some scrumptious Tibetan food to prepare!

Three members of the SFT UK board (Alice, Iona and myself) will be helping at Camp. I arrived a few days ago and this morning attended the first session of another exciting venture. Friends of Tibet have brought 15 students from Delhi's universities to Dharamasala for a week long trip aimed at educating them about the Tibetan issue. The students will be visiting important institutions and meeting influential members of the TIbetan community so they may appreciate the refugee situation for themselves.

Lot's happening here in India and we hope to bring even more enthusiasim back to the UK. Check for a camp update soon!
