Tzu Chi Foundation,
an international volunteer-based humanitarian
organization, has launched a relief effort to
aid tsunami survivors in Sri Lanka, Indonesia,
Thailand, and Malaysia. Tzu Chi's relief team
is already in Sri Lanka and Aceh to distribute
material supplies and medicine, provide medical
care, and assess needs of survivors to prepare
for longer-term aid. Tzu Chi's principles in humanitarian
aid are Priority and Directness -- to focus aid
on areas of greatest need, and to give aid directly
in person, hand to hand, so we may embrace and
comfort victims of disaster.
The widespread devastation caused by the
earthquake has shown us that we are indeed interconnected.
Living on this same planet, we are all inextricably
linked and share a common fate. So, let us reach
out and make what contribution we can.
