Valley High School, in Bakersfield, California, providing treatment in Western medicine, Chinese medicine, and dentistry. Many residents in Bakersfield are farm workers with low incomes. Volunteers in 1996 started providing healthcare services once every three months in the district.<\/p><p>May 15 was the first time in two years Tzu Chi had held a free clinic in Bakersfield. This regular event was forced to a temporary stop by the global pandemic in 2020. Though they couldn\u2019t hold a physical event during the last two years, volunteers continued providing medical consultations via telephone, as many patients suffer from chronic illnesses and need to stay on medications. Volunteers learned about these patients\u2019 conditions on the phone, then arranged for medicine to be mailed to their homes.<\/p><p>Jorge Alvarez, a regular at the clinic, was one of the patients who came to the May 15 event. He has no medical insurance and had been coming to the event for about five years when the pandemic hit. \u201cWhen I was running out of my medicine,\u201d he said, \u201cI received a phone call from a Tzu Chi volunteer, and my worries about having no medicine to take were put to rest.\u201d He had a telephone consultation with a doctor every three months, after which he\u2019d receive his medicine.<\/p><p>Lorena S\u00e1nchez was a first-timer at the clinic. She had been bothered by a toothache for two years. At the event on May 15, she received dental treatment and also some medicine. \u201cThe doctor treated me with a lot of care,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m grateful for everything. Tzu Chi has helped me a lot.\u201d<\/p><p>Paulina Ramirez is a local volunteer and also a patient at the clinic. She said that people with dental or other health issues would often ask her during the pandemic when Tzu Chi would restart the clinic. Now that the team was back, she said with a smile: \u201cI\u2019ve missed you all so much. Everyone is thankful you are back.\u201d<\/p><p>The clinic served 49 patients. Fifteen medical professionals, including doctors, nurses, and pharmacists, and 50 support volunteers together made for a successful event.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-31df6f6 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"31df6f6\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5ce9231\" data-id=\"5ce9231\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e6200f1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e6200f1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1081\" src=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/08\/The-Philippines.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/08\/The-Philippines.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/08\/The-Philippines-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/08\/The-Philippines-1024x769.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/08\/The-Philippines-768x577.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-826aec7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"826aec7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Volunteers unload rice to be distributed to fire survivors in Quezon City, the Philippines. <span style=\"color: #808080;\">Daniel Lazar<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-25a47c8 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"25a47c8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1b0daf74 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1b0daf74\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2e65e5a8\" data-id=\"2e65e5a8\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2810a49a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2810a49a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5><strong>The Philippines<\/strong><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-478a16b2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"478a16b2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A fire broke out in a crowded settlement on the sprawling campus of the University of the Philippines, Quezon City, on May 2. Eight people were killed, including six children. More than a hundred families were made homeless.<\/p><p>Tzu Chi volunteers visited the disaster scene in the immediate aftermath to assess the conditions and extend care to survivors. They also checked with the local government and relief agencies to appraise the needs of the affected families, hoping to provide aid that would most benefit the households. On May 5, volunteers held a distribution for 92 families, giving out a variety of items including gas stoves, casserole dishes, rice, cooking oil, condiments, blankets, soap, masks, disinfectant alcohol, and other goods.<\/p><p>Julie Valisno, one of the victims, said during the distribution: \u201cI cried for our misfortune every night, but I told myself I had to be strong for my family. Thanks to Tzu Chi for addressing our pressing needs. The items you gave us, such as the cooking equipment, will come in really handy. Many people donated goods to us. We are very lucky.\u201d<\/p><p>Jocelyn Madrigal, another survivor, told volunteers that her husband was among the thousands of jeepney drivers who had received aid from Tzu Chi during the COVID-19 pandemic.

They used to be able to use a computer only during the exams; now they will have the computers to use even on regular days.<\/p><p>Sixth-grader Saffar Nuraini said, \u201cI used a cell phone last year for the national tests, and I even had to take turns using it with others. I\u2019m happy and grateful for these computers.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b7ca3cb elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b7ca3cb\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-92df73c\" data-id=\"92df73c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6c2c529 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6c2c529\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"189\" height=\"170\" src=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/07\/\u82f1\u6587\u9801\u5c3e-2.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On May 15, Tzu Chi USA held a free medical clinic at Golden Valley High School, in Bakersfield, California, provid\u2026 <a class=\"text-right\" href=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/?p=16451\"><span class=\"text\">Read More <\/span><span class=\"arrow\">\u00bb<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":15940,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"pmpro_default_level":0,"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[920],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.5 -
