Day 20 Update from the March

post Category: Home, Updates from the March post

The march departed from Dera Bassi at 6:00am, in order to take advantage of the cooler temperature in the morning, and covered 19 kilometers. The marchers spent the night at Kakru in a Hindu Ashram where the Pandit Ji (caretaker of the Ashram) welcomed them with open arms and graciously took care of their needs.

Shortly after arriving at the Ashram, Mr. Tsultrim Tenzin, Member of Tibetan Parliament, paid a visit to the marchers and gave a motivational speech.

Two doctors, Lobsang Yeshi and Tashi Dorji, and two nurses, Karma Dolma and Tsering Yangzom, volunteered to join the march today. The marchers and Organizing Committee are very thankful for their services.

Close to mid-night, six monks from Sera Monastery arrived at the Ashram to join the march. The other marchers and the Organizing Committee are very pleased to welcome them.
