A press statement issued by the Tibetan NGOs in Taipei, the capital of Taiwan on Thursday (25 Nov), stated that the event will start on December 10th to cover over 250 miles and 10 counties throughout the country and have many opportunities to share our message of world peace, human rights, and the Tibetan struggle for independence.

"I wants to personally request your support for the upcoming walk from the Taipei City Capitol of Taiwan to Kao-hsiung City," said the press release issued by Jigme Norbu, Ambassadors For World Peace.

"I am asking for your support on spreading the news of this walk for our global cause. I would appreciate you linking to our website (www.ambassadorsforworldpeace.org), connecting via Facebook, forwarding our email, and sharing the word with your friends.
