I want to keep informed on what is happening in Tibet but don’t have the financial resources to support ICT at this time, what can I do to stay informed?

They will include calls to action to help, events, news, and other options to help in addition to requests for a donation. We understand everyone has a budget and you do not have to give monetarily to take action that will benefit the Tibetan people, but you still will receive the requests for donations when it may be an option in the future.
