Successful financial adviser Jeff Dolittle returns to Tzu Chi to give back.

On May 21, Tzu Chi volunteers organized a relief distribution for the victims of a fire that razed 400 homes and establishments along Oroquieta Street, Barangay 310, Sta. Cruz, Manila, a week earlier. 1201 families each took home a sack of 10 kg rice as well as a blanket, condiments, sleeping mat, reusable plates and utensils, and other basic necessities from Tzu Chi volunteers. More than the material goods they provided, volunteers gave victims of this latest disaster hope through their presence and genuine desire to help without expectation.

The distribution benefited 1,201 families.

The registration for this year's Yoga Class, which begins on June 3, is now open.

Volunteers include 13 general medicine physicians, 10 pediatricians, 55 dentists, and 22 dental students.

Tabaco City Mayor invites Tzu Chi Foundation to distribute coin banks to LGU employees.

The event signifies a stronger collaboration between the two institutions.

Esther Co Yu is an inspiration to volunteers and beneficiaries alike.

Beneficiaries old and new took the opportunity to express their gratitude to Tzu Chi Foundation during the March 26 Charity Day at the Buddhist Tzu Chi Campus in Sta. Mesa, Manila. After undergoing myomectomy in 2022, former beneficiary Gretchen Velarde offered to serve as a volunteer, extending any help she could to beneficiaries. Among those she assisted was Carlito Alba, whose total blindness is due to retinitis pigmentosa, a condition he inherited from his father, a Tzu Chi beneficiary. “From my father to me, thank you very much to Master Cheng Yen,” he said.

The proceeds of the project will be donated to Tzu Chi’s earthquake relief efforts in Turkey and other causes.
