It has take eight months in this second attempt to obtain visas for the Yerpa monks. We have almost given up hope when their visas were granted late November for a specific three month time frame they must return at the end of February. We do not know if they will be granted a visa again as the visa rules have change and we have to start the process again but we are hoping for a continuation of the 2013 tour to start in September 2013 for a further 3 months so the Monks new Prayer Facilities will be built.We welcome any help in hosting the monks or in obtaining venues.
