Candle in My Window – for Tibet

Lighting up the world during the Opening Ceremony of Olympic Games Friday, August 8, 2008 Time: 8:00pm – 11:00pm

YOU DON’T HAVE TO LEAVE HOME IN ORDER TO PARTICIPATE IN THE BIGGEST PROTEST EVER

Let us all light a candle for Tibet during the opening ceremony of the Olympic games.

Let us all put this candle in our windows.

Let us all invite all our friends to do so.

Let’s ask them to invite their friends.

Let us have a hundred million candles for Tibet.

WE CAN DO IT – BILLIONS WILL BE WATCHING US

Just Imagine – The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games is on, and the world is lit with candles – for Tibet.

Be part of it – You can make a difference.

Tibet has become a symbol of freedom.

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

The Olympic Games in Beijing are 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.

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