From April 28, 2022, to the eve of the Chinese New Year in 2023, 59 volunteers from the team participated in seven relay cycles, taking turns in Lumbini to carry out charitable work for the Tzu Chi Foundation. Though they were used to hot weather in Southeast Asia, the summer heat in Nepal was hard to bear. The winter was hard too, as they were unaccustomed to cold weather. Despite such challenges, they endured, remaining steadfast and dedicated to their mission.<\/p><p>Volunteers from the team held their first free clinic from November 4 to 6, serving 3,200 patient visits. Thanks to word of mouth, 40 people\u2014including some from India\u2019s border with Nepal\u2014were already waiting at the entrance to see the doctors by 7:30 a.m. on the last day. This free clinic introduced many local people to Tzu Chi.<\/p><p>Volunteers from the team completed their first winter distribution on December 3, providing each beneficiary family with ten relief items. They also served attendees lunch and provided them with transportation home. Everyone\u2019s face was filled with joyful surprise when they received more than they had expected that day.<\/p><p>The local student withdrawal rate is high. According to one principal of a public school, around two-thirds of students fail to complete elementary school. Of those that make it to secondary school, only one-third finish. When members of the team visited local schools in the winter to discuss ways to support students\u2019 education, they noticed many children inadequately dressed for the cold, some even barefoot or wearing slippers. They observed that many students\u2019 schoolbags were extremely basic and crude, with some using rice sacks as makeshift substitutes. Some children were showing signs of malnourishment. The schools\u2019 efforts to provide lunch had been stymied by insufficient funding, leaving students without enough to eat. Volunteers even saw students using tree leaves as spoons to drink hot milk due to the lack of proper utensils. That prompted them to distribute tableware to help out. For the other needs, they provided sweaters, shoes, schoolbags, dictionaries, and stationery. Such items will enable students to attend classes with more dignity.<\/p><p>While visiting the countryside and homes in Lumbini, the team\u2019s members often felt like they had been transported back in time 2,600 years, experiencing the same surroundings as the Buddha. They couldn\u2019t help but wonder why the Buddha\u2019s birthplace was still so underdeveloped and why so many people were still trapped in poverty. They also questioned the persistence of the unjust caste system in modern times. (Despite being abolished by the Nepalese government, the caste system remains a significant part of Nepali society.)<\/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-77d15c44 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"77d15c44\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;,&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;animation_tablet&quot;:&quot;fadeInLeft&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-694d533e\" data-id=\"694d533e\" 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-1b301608 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1b301608\" 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=\"1854\" height=\"678\" src=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/05\/23May-09-Lumbini-new.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/05\/23May-09-Lumbini-new.png 1854w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/05\/23May-09-Lumbini-new-300x110.png 300w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/05\/23May-09-Lumbini-new-1024x374.png 1024w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/05\/23May-09-Lumbini-new-768x281.png 768w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/05\/23May-09-Lumbini-new-1536x562.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1854px) 100vw, 1854px\" \/>\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<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-39a9a9f elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"39a9a9f\" 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-067ed55\" data-id=\"067ed55\" 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-6eec8ca elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6eec8ca\" 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=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/05\/20221027_\u6eab\u99a8\u6545\u4e8b-\u9732\u5bbf\u66e0\u91ce\u7684\u4e5e\u6c11_\u5433\u5357\u51f1_001-\u54f2\u4e8c\u4fee.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/05\/20221027_\u6eab\u99a8\u6545\u4e8b-\u9732\u5bbf\u66e0\u91ce\u7684\u4e5e\u6c11_\u5433\u5357\u51f1_001-\u54f2\u4e8c\u4fee.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/05\/20221027_\u6eab\u99a8\u6545\u4e8b-\u9732\u5bbf\u66e0\u91ce\u7684\u4e5e\u6c11_\u5433\u5357\u51f1_001-\u54f2\u4e8c\u4fee-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/05\/20221027_\u6eab\u99a8\u6545\u4e8b-\u9732\u5bbf\u66e0\u91ce\u7684\u4e5e\u6c11_\u5433\u5357\u51f1_001-\u54f2\u4e8c\u4fee-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/05\/20221027_\u6eab\u99a8\u6545\u4e8b-\u9732\u5bbf\u66e0\u91ce\u7684\u4e5e\u6c11_\u5433\u5357\u51f1_001-\u54f2\u4e8c\u4fee-768x576.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-a6e8839 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a6e8839\" 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>Two families live in tents in an open field near the Tzu Chi office in Lumbini, Nepal.

He recalled that during a visit to Taiwan in September 2018, he had briefed Dharma Master Cheng Yen on a project to help a free clinic in Lumbini convert a building into a dialysis center. The Master had said at the time, \u201cI wonder if I\u2019ll live long enough to see Tzu Chi develop in Nepal.\u201d Since Tzu Chi couldn\u2019t have come into existence without the spirit and teachings of the Buddha, Tang Kiat Beng had told himself back then that he should seize every opportunity to give back to the Buddha\u2019s hometown.<\/p><p>When Nepal was facing the worst of the COVID-19 crisis, Tzu Chi headquarters in Taiwan arranged on ten occasions for medical supplies and equipment to be airlifted to the country. The foundation also distributed food to local needy people to help them cope with the economic challenges posed by the pandemic. Nearly 70 percent of the residents in Lumbini benefited from the aid. When the Nepalese border finally reopened in April 2022, Tang Kiat Beng and other Tzu Chi volunteers from Malaysia and Singapore immediately met and entered the country to carry out more Tzu Chi work there.<\/p><p>One of the volunteers was Dr. Ching Chen Hua (\u838a\u616e\u6636), from Kedah, Malaysia, who holds an important post with a government hospital. Despite having only 35 days of annual leave, she spent 49 days in Nepal. Aw Kwai Wan (\u80e1\u6842\u96f2), another volunteer from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, had jumped at the chance to go to Lumbini and volunteered to stay there on a long-term basis. She hoped to help pave the way for volunteers coming after her, making it easier for them to carry out Tzu Chi work in Nepal. Cecelia GC Ong (\u738b\u6148\u60df), from Penang, Malaysia, was another dedicated volunteer on the team. \u201cWhile in Nepal, none of us have to worry about taking care of our family or going to work. Our sole focus is on Tzu Chi work. This allows us to fully focus on the work at hand.\u201d<\/p><p>Khoo Kean Yee (\u90b1\u5efa\u7fa9), deputy CEO of Tzu Chi Singapore, and his wife, Li Guo Xiang (\u674e\u570b\u9999), are also part of the Tzu Chi Nepal Project Team. They traveled for the first time from Singapore to Nepal on August 17, 2022, accompanied by fellow team members Goh Lam Kia (\u5433\u5357\u51f1) and Lim Kim Yan (\u6797\u91d1\u71d5). Goh has an engineering background, and Lim is a 70-year-old retired head nurse. Foreign nationals are permitted to stay in Nepal for a maximum of 150 days; Khoo stayed for 142 days before returning to Singapore.<\/p><p>\u201cI received a phone call from Low Swee Seh [\u5289\u745e\u58eb], CEO of Tzu Chi Singapore, asking if I was interested in going to Nepal to help Tzu Chi conduct charity work there,\u201d Khoo recalled. \u201cI asked him for how long I\u2019d need to stay there, and he said I\u2019d be required to be stationed there for some time. I remember thinking to myself: \u2018In that case, the first thing to do is to let go of everything.\u2019\u201d He bought a one-way ticket to Nepal, without any return date planned. He believed that he\u2019d be better able to focus on paving the way for Tzu Chi work there if he didn\u2019t have an easy way out.<\/p><p>\u201cI closed my business, which I had run for 30 years, within two weeks,\u201d Khoo explained. \u201cAfter that, I told my children that they had grown up and that I didn\u2019t have many decades left. They all supported my wish to go to Nepal. Of course, the most important step was seeking my wife\u2019s approval.\u201d<\/p><p>That step also turned out to be the most difficult one. Khoo brought up the topic of going to Nepal several times with his wife, but she was noncommittal. Because he was the sole breadwinner for his family, it was understandable that she would worry about him leaving. When CEO Low learned about this, he spent half an hour communicating with Khoo\u2019s wife, addressing all her concerns. She eventually agreed to let him go. \u201cWhat surprised me even more was that she wanted to go with me,\u201d said Khoo. \u201cShe had not been working since we got married and had been taking care of our family and volunteering for Tzu Chi, leading a stable life. It would not be easy for her to stay in Lumbini for an extended period.\u201d<\/p><p>Even so, Khoo and his wife proved to be a valuable asset for the team. Tang Kiat Beng explained that they would prepare meals for every member on the team early each morning, and in the evenings they would tidy up the Tzu Chi office, dormitory, and the dining area. This was on top of other work they did to help the needy in Nepal. Tang expressed his deep gratitude for having them.<\/p><p>The living conditions in the local area were primitive and impoverished. The volunteers were so occupied with their care project every day that when they went to bed at night, they were so tired they couldn\u2019t even tell whether the insects crawling on them were ants or mosquitoes. But Li Guo Xiang, Khoo\u2019s wife, had no complaints. \u201cAlthough I may not have any skills or much knowledge, I cherish deeply the karmic affinity that allowed me to support my husband in fulfilling his aspirations.\u201d<\/p><p>The words \u201ckarmic affinity\u201d hold a deep meaning for Khoo. \u201cOur mission in Nepal deeply touched my heart. No one knows what lies ahead, but I believe in seizing our karmic affinity with the Buddha by doing our best to give.\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-23cdb22 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"23cdb22\" 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-aa53338\" data-id=\"aa53338\" 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-ea4dbcc elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ea4dbcc\" 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=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/05\/20221216_\u6089\u9054\u591a\u5c0f\u5b78\u767c\u653e_\u674e\u9e97\u5fc3_081-\u54f2\u4e8c\u4fee.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/05\/20221216_\u6089\u9054\u591a\u5c0f\u5b78\u767c\u653e_\u674e\u9e97\u5fc3_081-\u54f2\u4e8c\u4fee.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/05\/20221216_\u6089\u9054\u591a\u5c0f\u5b78\u767c\u653e_\u674e\u9e97\u5fc3_081-\u54f2\u4e8c\u4fee-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/05\/20221216_\u6089\u9054\u591a\u5c0f\u5b78\u767c\u653e_\u674e\u9e97\u5fc3_081-\u54f2\u4e8c\u4fee-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/05\/20221216_\u6089\u9054\u591a\u5c0f\u5b78\u767c\u653e_\u674e\u9e97\u5fc3_081-\u54f2\u4e8c\u4fee-768x576.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-209cb2c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"209cb2c\" 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 group of volunteers visited Siddhartha Primary School last winter and distributed schoolbags, stationery, and warm clothing to the students there.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\">\u2028<em>Lee Lay Sim<\/em><\/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-8b76408 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"8b76408\" 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-d810c1b elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d810c1b\" 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-2e66f89\" data-id=\"2e66f89\" 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-14d8ebc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"14d8ebc\" 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>Making an impact<\/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-d48dcdd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d48dcdd\" 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>For Khoo and his fellow volunteer Goh Lam Kia, the biggest challenge of carrying out philanthropic work in Nepal is the language barrier. Members of the Tzu Chi Nepal Project Team speak Mandarin and English, so it is not surprising that they can\u2019t communicate directly with the local people. But even Nepalese volunteers from Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, who can speak Nepali, still face difficulty communicating with residents in Lumbini. This is due to the many dialects in the country. Recruiting local volunteers from Lumbini was therefore crucial to the success of the mission.<\/p><p>To that end, volunteers contacted community organizations and schools and made extensive visits to local communities to better understand the local situation. They informed residents that Tzu Chi\u2019s connection with Nepal went back many years. After a devastating flood hit Nepal in 1993, the foundation launched a reconstruction project and built new homes for survivors of the disaster. In 2015, when a massive 7.8-magnitude earthquake rocked Nepal, Tzu Chi once again provided relief and assistance to victims, with volunteers visiting the country in relay teams. In 2019, the foundation helped a free clinic established by the International Buddhist Society in Lumbini convert a building into a dialysis center. This was followed by the construction of a new building for the free clinic. Knowing how much Tzu Chi had done for Nepal and its people, local people in Lumbini were more likely to join the foundation to help out.<\/p><p>Volunteers worked even harder to recruit more people to join Tzu Chi after a Tzu Chi office was set up in Lumbini on August 18, 2022. The first training event for new volunteers took place on December 24. A total of 112 individuals participated in the event, including teachers, medical professionals, students, and entrepreneurs.<\/p><p>From December 16, 2022, to January 24 this year, Tzu Chi held three rounds of distributions for school children in Nepal, benefiting 11,100 impoverished students in 28 schools. Because the volunteers from Singapore and Malaysia returned to their home countries to celebrate Chinese New Year with their families during the third round of distributions, the distribution of sweaters to over 5,000 students at 12 schools was completely carried out by local volunteers.<\/p><p>The items prepared for the three rounds of distributions included schoolbags, sweaters, shoes, as well as a variety of school supplies, such as exercise books, pencils, ballpoint pens, and rulers. A special trip was even made to India to purchase dictionaries so that there would be enough to distribute. The schoolbags were available in three sizes\u2014large, medium, and small. Similarly, the sweaters and shoes had to fit each child\u2019s size. Volunteers went the extra mile by visiting each classroom one by one and measuring the size of each student.<\/p><p>Kua Liang Ming (\u90ed\u7ce7\u9cf4), a volunteer from Malaysia and the chief coordinator for the distributions, shared that several suppliers joined Tzu Chi\u2019s effort to help local schoolchildren at the encouragement of the procurement team. For example, a stationery supplier not only donated books but also provided manpower to assist in several distributions. A producer of pencil cases and a schoolbag supplier contributed by providing scrap fabrics to make lovely pencil cases. Many other kind-hearted local people also lent a helping hand. Thirty Nepalese who spoke local dialects enthusiastically participated in packing and distributing the goods. These like-minded people shared a common purpose and worked together with love and dedication to benefit the schoolchildren.<\/p><p>During the distributions, students joyfully received their schoolbags and other supplies. The heartwarming atmosphere, filled with gratitude, respect, and love, warmed the hearts of all those present. When volunteers revisited the schools a few days after the distributions, they were delighted to see students neatly dressed in their uniforms and adequately clothed for the weather, each wearing a radiant smile. Outside the classrooms stood orderly rows of brand-new black shoes. No student had to attend school barefoot anymore.<\/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

School, said that the typical student attendance rate during winter had previously averaged only 60 percent. However, with the provision of warm clothing, the attendance rate had improved to 90 percent.<\/p><p>On the afternoon of December 22, volunteers held a parent-child athletic meet at Siddhartha Primary School. Forty-five families participated. Prior to the event, some parents voluntarily removed small stones from the venue and uprooted ankle-deep weeds. After completing their exams on the morning of December 22, some students found that their parents had not yet arrived at the school, so they hurried home after lunch to invite them over.<\/p><p>Despite not having any rehearsal, students, bearing flags, marched in an orderly manner to the beat of music as they entered the venue. They were followed by parents and other students, holding hands. Together they engaged in various games. Principal Altaf Husen Khan remarked that it was unprecedented for parents to be willing to spend half a day accompanying their children at school. \u201cSiddhartha Primary School is no longer the same as before,\u201d he said. \u201cStudents are happy, teachers are joyful, parents are cheerful, and the school administration is satisfied because Tzu Chi has come.\u201d<\/p><p>Before departing from the country, all the volunteers pledged to return and continue their work in Nepal. Their efforts had ranged from helping former students return to school and visiting Tzu Chi care recipients to assisting patients in obtaining medical treatment and helping a school build classrooms. Additionally, they had plans for more work. To the volunteers, their charitable, medical, and educational aid work in the local communities isn\u2019t just about repaying the kindness of the Buddha or fulfilling their vow to carry out Dharma Master Cheng Yen\u2019s mission as their own\u2014it\u2019s also about making a meaningful impact in the lives of those they
