Before wrapping up the day, we had another opportunity to attend the reception hosted by the International Campaign for Tibet at the Russell Senate Office Building, where we met with many distinguished guests and dignitaries.

On behalf of the Tibetan Association of Vermont, the President had the privilege of personally expressing heartfelt gratitude to Nancy Pelosi for her unwavering support and steadfast commitment to the Tibetan cause. It was also a great honor to meet former Tibetan political prisoner Ngawang Sangdrol and a former member of the Kashag.

It was truly an inspiring and memorable conclusion to a meaningful day. Thank you All the Members of TAV for working so hard all day without failing to attend any of the meetings. You guys have an amazing energy. Keep it up!!! One more day to go, let’s do this !!! Bod Gyalo 💪International Campaign for TibetTibetan Association of Vermont
