(The Breeze) (U-WIRE) HARRISONBURG, Va. -- The JMU chapter of Students for a Free Tibet launched a campaign two weeks ago to raise awareness of human rights violations in Tibet.
The Tibet 2000 Campaign coincides with the Dalai Lama's announcement that he'd like to meet with China's president by the year 2000.
The goals of the Free Tibet 2000 Campaign at JMU are to raise at least $2,000 and to send at least 2,000 letters to the Chinese Embassy by 2000. The money raised will be donated to the Tibetan Children's Village and will be used to build a school and additional permanent buildings in a refugee orphans camp in Dharamsala, India.
