His Holiness Dalai Lama with members of Bay Area Friends of Tibet
September 2003
Bay Area Friends of Tibet
In September 2003 His Holiness the Dalai Lama's guidance included telling us that one of the most important things that the Friends of Tibet can do was to bring the Chinese and Tibetan people together to bridge the gap in understanding about Tibet that exists between them.
New Work with the Tibetan Resettlement Project
Since the early 1990s, BAFoT has facilitated the immigration of 60 Tibetans to the Bay Area. Since that time, BAFoT has helped these Tibetans to reunify with their families. With your help, BAFoT continues to help the Tibetan community with employment and English skills.

Please help us to help Tibetans in their struggle for self-determination, manage culture shock, elder care, health care, and the preservation of their culture. You can support us today by becoming a member, by signing up to volunteer or by making a tax-deductible donation.
