University campus is a place for young people to study and it is also one of the happiest times in a person's life. Many Tzu Ching members seek their education there. Young people are enthusiastic to help those in need. Whenever there is a large catastrophe that requires people's sincere vigilance, volunteers and Tzu Ching members will walk into the campus to spread love and raise donations.
Lee, Yu Tin and Chung Hong Yu sent in the application to the university board for the fundraising activity. After the school had carefully reviewed all the documents and considered previous positive interactions, the activity was quickly approved. From noon to 2 PM on September 3rd, 2009, the university allowed them to hold the fundraising activity in the cafeteria.
Gratitude for Sharing Ceaseless Love

Tsiee Malete, a native South African, who had participated in the camp hosted by Tzu Chi Foundation, also took time between classes to help with the event. She made use of an hour's time between two classes to rush over and join the fundraising efforts. All students seemed hard pressed to resist the bright smile and optimism from Tsiee. Everybody responded warmly to donating money to the victims. The emergence of sincerity and energy let love and kindness circulate incessantly around the cafeteria. Tzu Ching members’ appeals made everybody stop and spread love. Volunteers used a grateful heart to respond to every compassionate donation.
While everyone was cleaning up after the event, a Tzu Ching member, Hsu Ye Yan said that she would like to donate as well. Then she donated all the money in her purse.
One needs to seize the opportunity to promptly give to those in need and transform the touched heart into action. Give with a joyful and grateful heart. As long as one is willing to give, then one will have the strength to help the victims to rebuild their homes soon.
