why?

In case you're wondering how an aussie girl with nothing but english/celtic heritage could become so passionate about the cause of Free Tibet... it happened after I saw a movie depicting the Tibetan situation in the early 20th century. I'm not one to blindly follow any so-called 'fashionable' cause... but this one definitely is so worthy of the world's notice.

I can never quite believe it when I see peaceful cultures, so steeped in heritage that we should be revering and cherishing them... being destroyed by the worst aspects of human nature.

So, I may not be Tibetan, but I do believe in the basic power of good people around the world to help stop atrocities taking place. We see people in trouble and we want to help them.
The plight of Tibet may not be plastered all over the news every day, but if was maybe it would be solved that much faster.

As it is, the more people know and care about this... the more we can help and show our support. It DOES matter, and anything you do to help this... whether it is write an email or sign a petition... it DOES make a difference.
