Act for Tibet is not a membership organisation.  This is about individuals taking action for Tibet - If you go and talk to your MP about Tibet... that is what we do...  We are about individuals taking action. This website exsists as a resource.

Action 1 - We want to reach every single MP in the UK and have a conversation with them. How?  It's easy - See:  The Art of Creative Lobbying.

Background Information

Action 2 - Volunteer - Not political? Want to go to Tibet? www.rokpauk.org have a scheme for teachers to volunteer for 6 months teaching in a school in Tibet. Tell you teacher friends please... not a teacher? Please check out the other opportunities to change your life on the links page!

Action 3 - *** £100 Reward available to you ***

This is a unique experiment in Campaigning on behalf of one specific 'Low Profile' Tibetan prisoner Phuntsok Wangdu has been held for 14 years on 'Suspicion' charges of splittist activity. No details have been provided as to the nature of his alleged charges. He is now 29 years old and is due for release in 2011.

Act for Tibet is offering £100 reward to anyone who writes to China on his behalf and receives a reply that contains any information about him that we don't already have on the site.

We are offering this as an incentive for people concerned about Tibetan political prisoners to try something new. We are writing letters in Chinese to enquire as to the nature of his alleged crimes and to ask for his immediate compassionate release. To join this campaign is it necessary first to find a sympathetic Chinese friend who will help you. Letters written in English rarely (if ever) receive replies.

Action 4 - Something easy - Buy a book.

Action 5 - Something hard - Want to earn $22,000? There is a reward of more than this sum, which is rising daily, for information leading to finding the Panchen Lama as identified by the Dalai Lama. For more information on The Panchen Lama see 'The Search for the Panchen Lama' on our reading page. For more information on the reward see the website that is offering it...Tashi Lhunpo Monastery Or you could contribute to the reward sum...

Action 6 -  Have a good friend from mainland China.  Perhaps a visitor to the UK?  No - not to barrage them with your thoughts about Tibet but to learn from them. (And possibly to ask them to translate any letters that you write on behalf of political prisoners in Tibet.)  But  mainly to listen to them and to learn about China. People who write letters on behalf of political prisoners never get replies.. could that be because they are written in English? This may seem a small step but this could make a huge impact. And if letters are written to China in Chinese - we expect that they will receive replies - please let us know.

Action 7 - Devise your own actions and evaluate them; See Action Evaluation.
