We took off in the morning from the home of the Dechen Gyamtso family and headed over to pick up Yeshe and Dorje from the Taglahgyal Family. Thank you again for the food and housing. We really appreciated it. After everybody was back in the van we headed back over to the Chinese Embassy. From their we headed over to Capitol Hill. At Capitol hill we were accompanied by Tenchou, whose Uncle is the Dalai Lama. We were also accompanied by the Vice Presdient of the Tibetan Association of Washington D.C., Sonam Lhamo. We than had brief meetings with multiple congressional representative's and senator's staff members. Along the way we met with associates of Rep. Nita M. Lowey of New York, associates of U.S. Senator Gordon H. Smith of Oregon, also with a representative of Senator Hillary R. Clinton. I will update this later and add the photos. I have to run. Sorry about the delay in posts, we have a tight schedule. Thanks

We are an organization dedicated to freedom and peace. Our mission is to stop the suffering of all sentient beings without exception. Beginning Sunday, March 30, 2008, a group of ten will begin a march from New York City to Washington D.C. We are protesting the Beijing Olympics and are peacefully walking for peace and freedom in Tibet and neighboring countries.
