sing for tibet 12.12.12 - announcement

The situation in Tibet has become more critical than ever, so that people have started giving up their lives in the form of human torches. More than ninety people have set themselves ablaze to express their anguish and misery under the Chinese rule in Tibet. We need to assure them that we hear them, and that we are here to do whatever we can to bring an end to their misery.

Sing for Tibet 12.12.12 is an opportunity to show that you really do care about Tibet. Join us and support this event to let truth, justice, and peace prevail.
Venue and Time: Tibetan Day School, McLeod Ganj, India 6pm, Wednesday (Lhakar), 12.12.12.

The gathering will sing four songs.

• We are the World by Michael Jackson
• We Shall Overcome
• བདེན་ཚིག་སྨོན་ལམ། Words of Truth, a prayer composed by His Holiness the Dalai Lama
• མཐུན་སྒྲིལ་གྱི་རང་སྒྲ། Sounds of Unity, written by Taklha Gyal and sung by Sherten

It will be a peaceful gathering, with each supporter coming with an item that has to do with Tibet, or such as we have created on our merchandise page for the event — a T-shirt, a poster, a cap, etc.

The proceeds from the sale of the merchandise will be used in administrative works. Excess in funds will be used for other similar campaigns in the future.

The director of the event, Lobsang Wangyal, is an experienced producer of events. He has been producing different events since 2000, most of which were produced without outside funding. (His pockets have gotten flat over the years.)

lyrics There comes a time When we heed a certain call When the world must come together as one There are people dying And it's time to lend a hand to life The greatest gift of all We can't go on Pretending day by day That someone, somewhere will soon make a change We are all a part of God's great big family And the truth, you know love is all we need [Chorus] We are the world We are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day So let's start giving There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives It's true we'll make a better day Just you and me Send them your heart So they'll know that someone cares And their lives will be stronger and free As God has shown us by turning stone to bread So we all must lend a helping hand [Chorus] We are the world We are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day So let's start giving There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives It's true we'll make a better day Just you and me When you're down and out There seems no hope at all But if you just believe There's no way we can fall Well, well, well, well, let us realize That a change will only come When we stand together as one [Chorus] We are the world We are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day So let's start giving There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives It's true we'll make a better day Just you and me Written and composed by Michael Jackson
