Sailing through waves: Stories of hardship and hope

For the longest time, Tzu Chi scholars Jenny Rose Goco, Edrian delos Santos, and Chatline Joy dela Cruz knew nothing but hardship: for Jenny Rose, it was financial struggle; for Edrian, a debilitating eye disease; and for Chatline Joy, the loss of her father. Through a Tzu Chi scholarship, these disadvantaged youth received both quality education and timeless values that will carry them through life. As graduating scholars, they can now hope and dream of a better future, not just for themselves but for their families as well.

Scholars take charge of 2024 Tzu Chi Scholars’ Camp

Dubbed as a camp for scholars by scholars, the 2024 Tzu Chi Scholars’ Camp was organized by the batch’s graduating seniors from June 28 to 30 at the Buddhist Tzu Chi Campus in Sta. Mesa, Manila. For three days, 12 scholars from Zamboanga, 17 from Davao, eight from Leyte, 22 from Iloilo, 12 from Cebu, 24 from Bicol, 12 from Pampanga, and 55 from the Nation Capital Region learned more about themselves and the world through fun and educational activities, discussions on relevant topics, and opportunities to make friends with fellow scholars.
