Many survivors in the City of Marikina were left without any shoes or rain boots wear. Tzu Chi volunteers were worried that the residents would catch a cold or infection without shoes to wear. Therefore, Tzu Chi volunteers delivered over 2,100 pairs of rain boots to the local residents of Nangka (in the City of Marikina). One of the affected residents expressed that she was so grateful to receive “protection” on her feet, so the rashes on her feet would recover soon.
After the earthquake occurred in Indonesia, Tzu Chi volunteers immediately entered into disaster areas to conduct relief work; they delivered emergency cash, helped to build tents, provided medical services, etc. Tzu Chi volunteers also conducted street fundraisers in other parts of Indonesia and delivered the money and love from other parts of Indonesia to the survivors in disaster areas.

Recently, natural disasters are occurring more frequently, such as the flood in the Philippines, the earthquake in Indonesia, the flood in India, the wildfires in the United States, and the typhoons in Taiwan. Thus, Master Cheng Yen expressed that we should all unite together and cherish and respect our land with the spirit of Great Love.
