What is Write to Tibetan Heroes?<\/h2>\n

Write to Tibetan Heroes is a global action to send messages to imprisoned Tibetans, to offer messages of solidarity and support, and to show\u00a0 they are not forgotten.<\/p>\n

Writing messages to political prisoners is known in many cases to help boost morale and make an important psychological difference to people while in prison. Despite all our email actions a hand-written letter is still one of the most powerful tools we have as activists: letters can build pressure on authorities by showing there is a level of international support for individual prisoners.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”14086″ img_size=”large” css_animation=”right-to-left”][vc_button title=”Write to Lhundrup Drakpa” shape=”rounded” color=”custom” custom_color=”#cc3300″ custom_border_color=”#cc3300″ custom_color_hover=”#333366″ custom_border_color_hover=”#333366″ icon_fontawesome=”” css_animation=”right-to-left” full_width=”true” add_icon=”true” href=”http:\/\/freetibetanheroes.org\/write-to-tibetan-heroes\/write-to-lhundrup-drakpa\/” delay=”500″ el_class=”marginalbutt”][vc_button title=”Write to A-Nya Sengdra” shape=”rounded” color=”custom” custom_color=”#cc3300″ custom_border_color=”#cc3300″ custom_color_hover=”#333366″ custom_border_color_hover=”#333366″ icon_fontawesome=”” css_animation=”right-to-left” full_width=”true” add_icon=”true” href=”http:\/\/freetibetanheroes.org\/write-to-tibetan-heroes\/write-to-a-nya-sengdra\/” delay=”500″ el_class=”marginalbutt”][vc_button title=”Write to Lhamo Kyab” shape=”rounded” color=”custom” custom_color=”#cc3300″ custom_border_color=”#cc3300″ custom_color_hover=”#333366″ custom_border_color_hover=”#333366″ icon_fontawesome=”” css_animation=”right-to-left” full_width=”true” add_icon=”true” href=”http:\/\/freetibetanheroes.org\/write-to-tibetan-heroes\/write-to-lhamo-kyab\/” delay=”500″ el_class=”marginalbutt”][vc_button title=”Write to Yeshe Choedron” shape=”rounded” color=”custom” custom_color=”#cc3300″ custom_border_color=”#cc3300″ custom_color_hover=”#333366″ custom_border_color_hover=”#333366″ icon_fontawesome=”” css_animation=”right-to-left” full_width=”true” add_icon=”true” href=”http:\/\/freetibetanheroes.org\/write-to-tibetan-heroes\/write-to-yeshe-choedron\/” delay=”500″ el_class=”marginalbutt”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css_animation=”bottom-to-top”]\n

FAQs<\/h3>\n

What should I put in my letter?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

You can write something very short and basic, but simply make it personal from you. We have provided a short sample letter to give you an idea but feel free to be creative and let your personality come through. Remember this is a letter of solidarity, aiming to help Tibetan Heroe feel uplifted and supported. Tell them where you’re writing from so they know how far their story has traveled.<\/p>\n

Is there anything I should avoid saying?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Avoid talking about politics, and definitely do not write about Tibetan freedom or independence. It is highly probable that your letter will be read by the authorities before it reaches the writer, so use your common sense and don’t say anything that could put her\/him at risk.<\/p>\n

What language should I write in?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Ideally in English, or if that isn\u2019t possible please write in your own language. If the Tibetan Heroes does not speak the language in which you are writing, keep the sentences short and simple and the overall length of the message relatively brief to enable the letter to be easily translated.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css_animation=”bottom-to-top” css=”.vc_custom_1480512684824{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 10px !important;}”]\n
