More information
Asia was born following a series of expeditions in India and Nepal and Tibet by Prof. Chögyal Namkhai Norbu and a group of his students, who were highly struck by the difficult economic and social conditions in which the tibetans lived and by the sharp decline of the traditional language and culture following the chinese cultural revolution. In order to preserve the tibetan culture and sustain the economic, social and cultural development both of the Tibetans still in China and of the refugees in India and Nepal, in 1988 Professor and students founded ASIA Association for International Solidarity in Asia. In recent years it was decided to widen the areas of intervention to additional Asian countries and, following the catastrophe of the 2005 Tsunami, ASIA is involved in post-emergency and development projects in Sri Lanka.
