Dharamsala, June 16

A senior Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) delegation comprising Kaydor Aukatsang, Chief Resilience Officer, and Dr Kunchok Tsundue, Chief Planning Officer, will visit nine cities in the United States and Canada from June 22 to July 29. Spokespersons of the CTA said as the Tibetan diaspora in the West expands, it is important community members are informed of key CTA initiatives and that their participation is actively sought.

Towards this end, the delegation through the Tibetan Resilience Tour will educate and mobilise support for two important and strategic initiatives that translate the Kashag’s Five-Fifty Vision into action: Gangjong Development Finance (TibFin) and Tibet Corps, he said.

Gangjong Development Finance is a Tibetan financial service institution that provides affordable capital, financial services and financial literacy to both general and marginalised entrepreneurs and promotes viable Tibetan micro, small and medium enterprises. Tibet Corps offers Tibetan professionals, university students, and retirees an opportunity and platform to serve the Tibetan community through voluntary service.
