It has been 25 years since the start of the Tzu Chi Foundation in the Philippines. Tzu Chi Foundation, a Taiwanese international non-governmental organization, continues to spread relief and compassion to the Filipinos through their humanitarian efforts throughout the country. The foundation was founded by Dharma Master Cheng Yen, a Taiwanese Buddhist nun, who encountered so many challenges at a young age which led her to Buddhist Monasticism with a vow to work for Buddhism and for the good of all living sentients.
Tzu Chi Foundation is most well-known for disaster relief, and volunteers also organize long-term projects to rebuild affected communities. Until today, Dharma Master Cheng Yen’s teachings of helping the ones in need led to the construction of hospitals, schools, universities, and communities.
Tzu Chi Foundation Philippines is one of the fifty-seven countries with Tzu Chi Foundation’s chapters around the globe.
Applying the principles of Sincerity, Integrity, Trust, and Honesty in all its missions, I hand every form of aid over to the beneficiary to make the most out of every single penny collected.
Medicine is where Tzu Chi sets up its network of medical services across Taiwan to allow its Mission of Medicine to spread out far and wide. Seven hospitals in strategic locations are now serving the public in which they engraved each infrastructure with love in the History of Tzu Chi Foundation.
In the Philippines, Tzu Chi holds medical missions regularly to give free medical operations and surgeries to patients who have cataracts and other illness that needs surgical help.
Education emphasizes on value formation and serves to provide a proper direction and guidance to life. It emphasizes learning about character, daily life, and humanity. These programs enable participants to become income earners within a short time.
The 25th Anniversary activities include a Taiwanese Food Market, an ocular of the Eye Center facilities, Dental Clinic and Livelihood Center. The occasion coincides with the book launching of Ms. Alya Honasan’s “A Mission of Love” as she shares her story on 25 years of Tzu Chi Foundation’s activities in the Philippines.
Tzu Chi Foundation Philippines appeals to all interested donors and volunteers to continue the mission of relief and compassion to promote love and service in the Philippines and throughout the world.
