New York based Tibet Fund celebrated the Tibetan New Year: Year of Fire Bird Royal Calender 2144, at Baruch College in New York City on February 21, 2017.
The representative of the Washington based Office of Tibet, Mr. Penpa Tsering was the chief guest at the celebration with other guests including the sponsors and donors for Tibet Fund, long time supporters of Tibet cause, and presidents of major regional chapters of the Tibetan non-governmental organizations in New York.
In an interview with the Executive Director of Tibet Fund about the purpose of organizing the event, he says, “...there are many in the United States who are interested in the Tibet cause, Tibetan culture and religion, yet the opportunities to directly participate in cultural events are rare for them. This led to our decision to initiate the annual celebration of Tibetan New Year three years ago.”
