A Letter from Tibet

The Amatrice earthquake shook the entire world community and there were many expressions of solidarity.

Among these, we are publishing the letter of one of the students supported at a distance by ASIA, thanks to the scholarships, who wished to express her closeness.

Word of the earthquake in Italy has reached us and we wish to express to you our deepest condolences.

Even if perhaps words are not enough to ease such painful moments, we are writing you this letter,
as to brothers and sisters.

In this world, which is also the only one we have, we share everything, feeling the happiness and the suffering of others, and we are deeply saddened by the losses you are going through. We are very far away, and even if we cannot bring you immediate help, all the peoples of the world are drawing close around you.

Our thoughts, our prayers and our encouragement are dedicated to you: never give up.

The human heart always proves capable of great strength, yet we do not want you and your communities to lack our spiritual support in the rebuilding, in the wake of this great tragedy.

We greet you, leaving you with this saying: waking up with the sun every day is a triumph.

Our most heartfelt condolences,
A Tibetan student of the Qinghai Monirity Nationalities University, Xining, Qinghai, China.
