HELP SUPPORT THE WALKERS: The Walk T-shirt is sold out!
ITIM is coordinating another "March for Tibet's Independence," with the assistance of the Tibetan Association of Boston and the Regional Tibetan Youth Congress-New York and New Jersey. This time we will walk from Boston to the United Nations and China's Embassy in New York City. This 240+ mile walk will begin on July 30 and end on August 13. The core walkers include the Venerable Palden Gyatso (Tibetan Monk who was imprisoned by China for over 30 years & severely tortured), a number of young Tibetans from the East Coast of the United States and California, and Jigme Norbu (son of Taktser Rinpoche) who will once again walk as a way to further His father's lifelong effort to regain Tibet's independence. We hope hundreds of Tibetans and Tibet Supporters will stand with us at the United Nations and China's Embassy to protest China's illegal and
brutal occupation of Tibet!Why are we walking?
