Kathleen Nolan, a pediatrician and executive director of Tibet Aid, visited Milton Academy on Thursday, January 31, to talk with students about the Tibetan people, both on the Tibetan Plateau and in the exile community. Her speech entitled “Tibet in 2008: What does the future hold?” focused on the relation between religious and political freedoms and the preservation of the indigenous Tibetan culture. Ms. Nolan has spent the last five years directing Tibet Aid’s programs in India, Nepal and Tibet and has studied Zen and Tibetan Buddhism for almost 20 years. Her visit was sponsored by Milton’s Tibet Club. Visitwww.tibetaid.org for more information about the Tibet Aid organization.
