The funding appeal for the establishment of the TibetNet Project was a great success; a small office with one employee to manage the node has been set up in New Delhi. This was achieved with your help. An official opening date for the launching of the project is set for February.

You've been most generous. Now we appeal to you once more. Though the project is well on its way, project organizers haven't quite met expenses to cover the original budget. Don't stop now. A bit more funding will see the base plan completed. A second phase of the project, which will establish nodes in South India and Nepal, linking all Tibetan communities in the Indian sub-continent, is now in the planning stage.

To those of you who've contributed, we thank you again. To anyone else who wishes to help complete the project, please send donations to:
