Charity mission

Remnants of Typhoon Reming

Faced with disaster ravaged by typhoon Reming at the end of Year 2006, Tzu Chi volunteers provide emergency assistance to the victims through relief distribution, medical mission, disinfection and clean-up activities for the community, provision of water purifying system and donation of disinfecting materials.

In March 2007, Tzu Chi volunteers went back to Bicol (the community of Tabaco, Albay) to hold a three-day large scale medical mission.

Tzu Chi volunteers also plan to reconstruct the roofs and ceiling of Tabaco National High School through a charity bazaar.

Flood in Panghulo, Malabon

When tropical storm Chedeng submerged 70 percent of Malabon City in July, visiting volunteers relied on dinghies to conduct the survey and distribute stubs for the relief distribution. The victims were happy when they received the relief supplies handed over by volunteers.

Relief mission in Dreamland village

Dreamland village is located near a dumpsite in Rosario Cavite. The villagers either scavenge useful materials from the dumpsite or fish from the nearby shore in order to survive. They also have to live through the absence of electricity, lack of clean water.

Tzu Chi volunteers provided free baths and grooming services, relief distribution and free medical consultation, among others. Furthermore, volunteers organize a system for their succeeding visits and gave each selected family a number for future support.
