Tzu Chi’s Bicol scholars express gratitude

It took a Tzu Chi scholarship to change the lives of Susie Camata and Fe Callos. Both from Bicol, each girl soldiered on despite her personal struggle. Susie’s father, given his meager salary was forever in debt to support their education. Fe was traumatized by the gruesome murder of her father, a crime perpetrated by her uncle. With a Tzu Chi scholarship, they now have hope and dreams. Susie can focus on her studies without worrying about expenses. And Fe plans to become a social worker so she can help others the way Tzu Chi helped her.

It also gave the volunteers and volunteer doctors a chance to uphold Tzu Chi's spirit of volunteerism and mission of relieving suffering through selfless giving and spreading love and compassion.
