Title: For Tibet with Love
Author: Isabel Losada
Publisher: Bloomsburry

'Fast, funny, and inspiring too ... Isabel Losada is a writer who can change lives' -Joanna Lumley

Synopsis

'Sometimes you just have to do something, don't you? Sometimes an injustice comes along and you think "No, this cannot be", and rather than just turn off the TV, you know it's time to act.'

So begins Isabel Losada's extraordinary For Tibet, with Love in which she explores whether it's possible for an ordinary person to change the world, just a little… Isabel demonstrates, falls for a monk in Nepal, gets sick in Tibet, upsets BP, faces some hard truths, starts a company, irritates the Chinese Ambassador, falls from a great height, keeps her bra on, breaks the law, and captures headlines worldwide. And then she meets the Dalai Lama.

So here we are. Gay Tibet in it's first month - finally in the year 2005. Well, time for a brief introduction.

My name is Tenzin S. I am a Tibetan boy living in New Delhi and ofcourse as gay as I possibly can. Among our small group of gay Tibetans, I function as the web administrator and content manager.

Our mission:

1.  To provide a platform for Gay Tibetans to express their views and have a voice of their own.
2.  To support younger gay Tibetans with coming to terms with their sexuality within our society.
3.  Act as Gay Ambassadors of Tibet to world gay communities inorder to spread the word about our political struggle.
4.  Spread awareness to non gay Tibetans about what it means to be gay.
5.  Distribution of information regarding HIV/AIDS and it's prevention measures.

Well, this is where we start from and for most of this year we will stick to our plan and see how it all comes together.
