n a heartwarming gathering of camaraderie and inspiration, the 2025 Tzu Chi Scholars’ Camp brought together nearly two hundred scholars from across the Philippines—Iloilo, Bicol, Davao, Zamboanga, Cebu, and the National Capital Region—for a three-day event filled with learning, bonding, and finding one's purpose. With the theme “Shine a Light, Let Dreams Take Flight,” this camp became a beacon for young minds to grow, dream, and soar together, bringing with them valuable lessons through the guidance of Tzu Chi volunteers and fellow campers.

2025 Tzu Chi Charity Run Media Launch

Friends from the media gathered at the cafe of Buddhist Tzu Chi Campus on June 19 for the launch of the 2025 Tzu Chi Charity Run for Education, a fundraising event set to benefit the current 1,395 scholars under Tzu Chi’s Education Assistance Program and 51 scholars in its Technical-Vocational program. Highlights of the launch included the reveal of runners’ giveaways–a singlet made of recycled PET bottles, a reusable collapsible cup, and medal inspired by Tzu Chi’s iconic coin can–and emotional stories by scholars Esmeralda Daganasol and Heart Baquilar. A vegetarian lunch capped the get-together.
