Interviews with 3 Elders in Tibet

Learn more at www.TibetOralHistory.org. The Tibet Oral History Project aims to preserve the true history of the Tibetan people. At the request of His Holiness the Dalai Lama we record the life experiences of Tibetan elders who were forced to flee their homeland following the Chinese invasion. His Holiness has emphasized the urgency of conducting interviews of these elders before they pass away and their stories are lost forever. The Tibet Oral History Project enables donors from around the world to contribute to keeping the invaluable history of Tibet alive for generations to come.
