Day One (Saturday. May 26, 2002): People had gathered at the community hall at the Tezu Tibetan settlement in Arunachal Pradesh. Friends of Tibet (INDIA)'s fourth workshop on 'Non-Violent Action For Tibet' was inaugurated by the Settlement Officer, Lhakpa Tsering la today. He welcomed the trainors and introduced the participants to us.

The total strength has now reached 38 with two more joining from Varanasi. The first session got shortened too fast. So now we are shifting the session to continue with the first. TT Karma Choephel la's talk on 'Mapping the Tibetan Freedom Struggle' ended at 10.45am. At 11am, a question and answer session was held based on the talk given by Karma Choephel la. Questions and comments were forthcoming.

In the afternoon session 'Knowing the Participants And Their Role in the Freedom Struggle', each one introduced their partner. Some were just reading out the name and the background of their partner.

Trainors and the participants went out to see the site where the 'Martyr Pillar' is to be built. We collected sand, stones and bricks. Evening, we screened the film Gandhi directed by Sir Richard Attenborough. Some non-participants also had came to see the film.
