Candle in My Window - for Tibet

In the background of this newsletter is the 2008 Tibetan unrest, which began with demonstrations on March 10, 2008, and Mr. David Califa (hereunder) who contacted the undersigned for less than a week ago.

The basis of David Califa’s original idea and concept, Candle in My Window – for Tibet, is that it is an actual and spiritual act in where the internet is the vehicle to bring all people together. It needed support from a globally well connected professional and a virtual organization from the very beginning of the starting phase till the key event.

This was the reason of the very first contact by Mr. Califa as mentioned above. Because of his brilliant idea, our mutual values, experience and, first of all, the great and most important cause, we ended-up to start to collaborate immediately.

Now we encourage you to join us as well! We will do something really great and special. Together.

There are half million people who have joined us already, and millions of other people around the world who will join us before the key event the 7th of August 2008.

Candle in My Window – for Tibet has been created and started on the grass root level, without any organizations behind it. It's totally non-profit and free of interests.

The father of the original idea and the developer of the concept is  David Califa, 52 (http://www.linkedin.com/pub/8/928/519).

He operates as a private individual with a group of young bright and idealistic people from Israel.

We will light a candle for Tibet because Tibet has become a symbol of freedom.

It is a symbol that represents the natural right of any human being for self determination, freedom of thought, conscience, belief and religion.

Freedom is the most important value for us working for this movement.

The Olympic Games in Beijing is a unique opportunity to focus the world's attention on the annulment of those rights in Tibet and in many other places in the world.

Lighting a candle represents solidarity with the people of Tibet.
"Enlightenment" by Jamie Williams

Each candle lit window is one more prayer of hope for the world to witness.

This will be our opening ceremony for the Olympic Games. And it will begin darkness falls in India on Thursday, Aug 7th 2008.

In this way we will ensure that our millions and millions of candles are seen and noticed throughout all the time zones of the world.

We are going to create a unique moment when so many millions who otherwise would do very little or nothing for Tibet, or any other cause, would actually do something spiritual and meaningful. And do it together. Our modest objective is to reach 100 million people.

The media, I have no doubt, will pick on the story soon, which will bring more participants, which will bring more coverage, and will raise awareness for the Tibetan Cause. It's a virtuous circle.

We have volunteers for public candle lighting, and translators who work on translating the site. 7 languages today, 20 by mid summer and 50 by the time to light our candles (we are looking for translators).
And the best part is that we number half a million people before we even begun.

We would also like to cooperate with as many Tibet support group as possible.

If you have not joined us yet, do it now at http://www.candle4tibet.org/, and invite all your friends and contacts to join us as well.
