No, we are not involved in the Free Tibet Campaign, largely because so many other groups are. As our resources are limited, adding to a movement that we would in reality make little difference too does not work too well. We wish that campaign well and have occasionally joined Free Tibet marches, but we are not actively involved at the moment beyond a generally supportive attitude to the Tibetan people. There will be individuals within Amida who are involved, but there are a limitless number of causes and each organisation has to make decisions about where it can actually make a difference. I share your concern for the Tibetan people, and the Burmese, and the Chinese caught in the earthquake, and the people caught up in the Afghan war, and the Palestinians, and the Lebanese, and the people of Darfur, and many others. Periodically we do involve ourselves with a group in need, especially where we have a direct individual connection - i.e. we know people who are involved.
