'Non-Violent Action For Tibet' Workshop
Planning Today's Public Meet
Day 6 (Oct 5, 2002): The day began with Karma Yeshi la's talk on 'Know Your Government' where he described the structure and the features of the Tibetan Government-in-Exile in India. Then he distributed a sketch with a full list of the concerned authorities. Many appreciated the talk as it was very informative. Talk was followed by a question and answer session.
The highlight of the day was the Public Meet. Unlike other settlements,
Bhandara has only two camps. Since we have a huge group of about 18
participants from each of the two camps, only three or four would get the
chance to speak to the public. Participants made the programme schedule
and decided who would talk on what topic.
Public Meet happened at 3.30pm at both camps with the help of the camp leaders. Both meetings happened in the shadow of two huge trees. Each
team had purposely appointed young and inexperienced speakers. Both the
meets went on well.
Since the pillar was made ready this time earlier, we had the second
session in the morning free, which we used to practice drama, as it was to
be presented this afternoon. This time both the dramas told stories of
atrocities the common Tibetans suffered in Tibet. One was a real story told
by a workshop participant who is above 65. The composition of the
workshop participants this time was mostly old people.
