Nepal. The houses in this area were predominantly constructed from earth or bricks, with roofs covered in straw or weathered tiles. The aftermath of heavy rains was evident in the partially collapsed walls of some houses.<\/p><p>The first Saturday of every month is Tzu Chi Lumbini\u2019s Charity Day. On July 1, more than 40 volunteers divided into groups to deliver lentils, salt, cooking oil, sugar, and rice to 18 local households. One of the groups arrived at a shabby earth house with no door, the eaves so low the volunteers had to stoop as they entered. Inside, there were two beds; one of them, covered in straw, served multiple purposes\u2014a sleeping space, a dining table, and seating for guests. Eleven-year-old Srijana Kahar\u2019s school bag hung on the wall. A volunteer presented her with a card bearing an aphorism by Dharma Master Cheng Yen: \u201cThe most beautiful face is a smiling face.\u201d In response, the young girl\u2019s face beamed with a radiant smile.<\/p><p>The cooking area was located in one corner of the house, where two plastic buckets were catching rainwater dripping from the roof. Srijana\u2019s grandmother, 70, pointed to the leaky spot, lamenting, \u201cEvery time it rains, we can\u2019t cook.\u201d The volunteers made a mental note to repair the roof for the family.<\/p><p>After providing the household with a month\u2019s worth of food provisions, the volunteers prepared to move on to the next household. But before they left, the grandmother quickly retrieved a container of rice, requesting that they share it with other people in need. Despite their challenging circumstances, the family\u2019s compassionate practice of setting aside a portion of rice every day for charitable purposes persisted, profoundly moving the volunteers.<\/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-76172cb5 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"76172cb5\" 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-49686606\" data-id=\"49686606\" 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-488a55ed elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"488a55ed\" 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>Young girl, big responsibilities<\/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-142f4af5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"142f4af5\" 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>Tzu Chi\u2019s connection with Srijana and her family began in December of last year, when the foundation launched distributions of winter clothing and school supplies at 28 schools in Lumbini. Volunteers discovered Srijana at Siddhartha Primary School, shivering in the cold, her school uniform damp. They promptly held her close to share their warmth. After a subsequent visit to her home, they made the decision to include her family on Tzu Chi\u2019s long-term aid recipient list.<\/p><p>While speaking with the Tzu Chi volunteers visiting them, Srijana\u2019s grandmother conveyed deep concern for her granddaughter. She revealed that Srijana\u2019s parents had separated when she was young, and both had started new families. With Srijana\u2019s father now living elsewhere, the grandmother was deeply troubled by the uncertainty of who would care for Srijana should she and her husband, Diyar, become unable to work or pass away.<\/p><p>The family\u2019s livelihood depends on the elderly couple tending to a plot of land, which yields approximately 200 kilograms (440 pounds) of wheat per year. During the winter, they also grow mustard greens. Srijana is a great help at home. She never indulges in outdoor play after school. As soon as she gets home, she starts taking care of household chores. She cleans the house, gathers fodder to feed the sheep, and harvests vegetables for dinner. When her grandparents return from the fields with their empty lunch containers, she takes it upon herself to clean them using rice husks. The entire family then sits down to dine together.<\/p><p>Since Srijana was doing all the household chores, she could only study at night. Their home lacked electricity, and volunteers once observed during one of their visits that she was diligently doing her homework under the feeble glow of a flashlight. It was a poignant scene. To improve the lighting conditions, volunteers visited the family in early March of this year and installed solar panels. When they flipped the switch after the installation, instantly illuminating the room, the entire family burst into cheers. With light now available at home, the volunteers encouraged Srijana to complete her homework every day, ensuring that she could stay on track with her coursework.<\/p><p>\u201cI like going to school, and I never miss a day,\u201d Srijana shared with Tzu Chi volunteers. \u201cMy dream is to become a teacher in the future.\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-53b9fd79 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"53b9fd79\" 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-452bc51d\" data-id=\"452bc51d\" 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-7d666ce elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7d666ce\" 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=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/11\/5_20230711-Srijana\u5c4b\u5b50\u4fee\u7e55_Raj-Kumar_002.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/11\/5_20230711-Srijana\u5c4b\u5b50\u4fee\u7e55_Raj-Kumar_002.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/11\/5_20230711-Srijana\u5c4b\u5b50\u4fee\u7e55_Raj-Kumar_002-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/11\/5_20230711-Srijana\u5c4b\u5b50\u4fee\u7e55_Raj-Kumar_002-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/11\/5_20230711-Srijana\u5c4b\u5b50\u4fee\u7e55_Raj-Kumar_002-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/11\/5_20230711-Srijana\u5c4b\u5b50\u4fee\u7e55_Raj-Kumar_002-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/11\/5_20230711-Srijana\u5c4b\u5b50\u4fee\u7e55_Raj-Kumar_002-330x220.jpg 330w\" 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-284b8861 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"284b8861\" 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>Srijana\u2019s home had a leaky roof.

They replaced some of the roof tiles and iron sheets with galvanized zinc plates, added an extra layer of wood for insulation at the bottom, and thoughtfully raised the height of the eaves. Srijana\u2019s grandfather, Diyar, lent a helping hand. The repairs were completed in just one day with everyone\u2019s combined efforts. The couple was overjoyed, exclaiming, \u201cThanks to Tzu Chi for the assistance!\u201d<\/p><p>Recognizing Diyar\u2019s skillful hands during the repairs, volunteers decided to extend an invitation. Given that July and August marked the low season for farming, they asked him to join Tzu Chi\u2019s repair team through a cash-for-work arrangement. He readily agreed and started working the next day. He reported to the Tzu Chi Lumbini office, where he helped prepare materials for building a new home for Radheyshyam.<\/p><p>One side of Radheyshyam\u2019s home had crumbled due to rainwater erosion, rendering it unsafe and unsuitable for habitation. Volunteers decided to build a simple dwelling for him and his family. Diyar contributed by drilling holes, painting, and cutting construction materials. He appreciated the opportunity to assist, remarking, \u201cVolunteers helped me repair my house, so when they needed my help, I willingly joined. It\u2019s fantastic to work here.\u201d<\/p><p>As of August this year, volunteers have repaired or built homes for 17 households in Lumbini. Several men from families receiving long-term aid from Tzu Chi have enthusiastically joined these efforts, working in exchange for pay. Through this, they have not only contributed to the reconstruction of their own and others\u2019 homes, but also earned income to support their households. Volunteer Zhang Bo Lin (\u5f35\u67cf\u6797) from Malaysia praised the men, saying, \u201cThey show up for work almost every day. Their dedication is truly admirable.\u201d<\/p><p>The week after repairing the roof of Srijana\u2019s home, volunteers returned to assess the quality of the work. The house no longer leaked, allowing the family to comfortably cook, even on rainy days. Srijana\u2019s grandmother chatted casually with the volunteers, mentioning her husband\u2019s delight at being part of the repair team. The volunteers offered their feedback, remarking: \u201cGrandpa Diyar is highly committed to his work with Tzu Chi, and he performs really well!\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-1fbd2461 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1fbd2461\" 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-72cdd1a9\" data-id=\"72cdd1a9\" 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-15174c1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"15174c1\" 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>A handful of rice<\/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-6c9aa2b3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6c9aa2b3\" 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>Tzu Chi\u2019s monthly distributions provide much-needed relief to recipient families by alleviating their financial burdens. However, volunteers have observed during their home visits that these families often harbor a stronger desire for employment opportunities rather than receiving mere aid. As a result, some of them have enthusiastically participated in Tzu Chi\u2019s recent workshops, such as soap-making classes, where they acquire skills in soap production and packaging. Such training has the potential to enhance their income. Others, who were once beneficiaries of Tzu Chi\u2019s repair projects, have joined the repair team, taking pride in both assisting others and earning an income.<\/p><p>Tzu Chi volunteers from Singapore and Malaysia have been stationed in Lumbini for over a year now. They understand that only continuous and sincere care can transcend language, culture, and ethnicity, nurturing bonds of trust and love. An example of their impact can be seen in Srijana\u2019s warm smile. She greets their arrival every month with a heartfelt smile and presents them with a plastic container filled with rice that she has set aside. The practice of saving a handful of rice to assist those in need has become a part of her daily routine.<\/p><p>Srijana is grateful for the care and companionship provided by Tzu Chi volunteers. Not only has her home environment improved, but her grandfather has also discovered an additional source of income. This positive transformation and newfound stability have allowed her to devote more time to her studies, resulting in improved grades and bringing her one step closer to her dream of becoming a teacher. Volunteers remain committed to their work in Nepal, assiduously planting and nurturing seeds of love and kindness in the land where the Buddha was born.<\/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-1570e5c3 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1570e5c3\" 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-25a52144\" data-id=\"25a52144\" 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-25befb66 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"25befb66\" 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>Tzu Chi volunteers are making an impact on the lives of families struggling to make ends meet in Lumbini, Nepal, a\u2026 <a class=\"text-right\" href=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/?p=48968\"><span class=\"text\">Read More <\/span><span class=\"arrow\">\u00bb<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":48893,"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":[1436],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.5 -
