a community of compassionate care
Karuna enjoys support from a diverse range of groups and individuals. One group, the Knights of the Southern Cross (QLD) Inc Brisbane Branch 56, has for several years fundraised for Karuna by holding a St Patrick’s celebration night.
We would like to thank our gallant Knights for once again holding a successful evening on March 25th, which raised much needed funds for Karuna.
Our grateful thanks to the Lioness Club of Beachmere, who recently held a fancy dress ball, and donated the proceeds to Karuna, to help provide our service in their area. We appreciate your ongoing support of Karuna very much.
I am delighted to learn from the Tibet Information Office in Canberra that the year 2006 is being observed as the Year of Tibet in Australia and New Zealand.
On behalf of Tibetans, both in and outside Tibet, I wish to express my appreciation to you all for your continuing interest and support in our non-violent efforts for freedom and justice.
I understand that members of the Parliamentary Group for Tibet as well as some other parliamentarians, at both the Federal and State level, actively support the present process of dialogue to produce concrete results for a settlement to the Tibetan issue.
As A Tibetan I have the moral responsibility to make every effort to bring an end to the sufferings of my people. I remain committed in finding a lasting solution that will mutually benefit the Tibetans as well as Chinese peoples.
I also want to thank the Tibetan Support Groups and Dharma Centres in Australia and New Zealand for their support in our efforts for the protection and preservation of our Tibetan identity, culture, the fragile environment, and towards finding a mutually acceptable solution to the issue of Tibet.
As you may have heard, I have accepted an invitation to visit Australia and New Zealand in 2007, and I look forward to it.
