The Regional Tibetan Women’s Association organised a celebration in the presence of Secretary of the Bureau du Tibet, Thinley Wangdue; EU Advocacy Officer, Tenzin Phuntsok; Accountant of the Bureau du Tibet, Tenzin Norden; presidents of the associations of Cholka-sum (the three traditional provinces of Tibet); and representatives from the Regional Tibetan Youth Congress and regional Tibetan People’s Movement for Middle Way Approach.

The celebration featured traditional performances by the Tibetan students of the Sherab Nangje Weekend School and a recitation of poem on Tibetan Democracy Day by its former student, Metok.

Simultaneously, the staff from the Bureau du Tibet seized the occasion to gather voluntary contributions from Tibetans who had yet to make their contributions following the recent amnesty. They also used this opportunity to assist with the issuance, re-issuance, and correction of Green Books.
