Sunday afternoon

Sunday was the first of Ama-la's talks, held in London in the same building as the Comic Relief offices, and scheduled to start at 3:00pm. Joe had set up the room beautifully, and even made us all some tea before things kicked off, bless him.

Hitendra who had organised the talk and who had set up the room beautifully, gave a thorough, clear intro to Ama-la and the Tibetan situation, backlit by the cover picture of Ama-la's book projected on the wall behind him (courtesy of Tom) which made him look rather star-like. Ama-la talked for about 40 minutes before answering questions and there was some fine translating by Tsering who looked very smart and official. Ama was as graceful and dignified as ever, keen to share her story and update events in Dharamsala. She'd been dropped off by the wonderful care hire company Karma Kabs whose cars are amazing! (http://www.karmakabs.com/) They certainly draw attention and you can hear them coming from miles away :)


The event was filmed by Tim, our fantastic media person with the hope that one day we’ll make a film for Art Refuge. Not sure what format it will take yet, but let’s wait and see...

Thanks Hitendra for arranging this!
