Description of Our Community: Hualien is a place where no pollution, no littering and the temperature are fair too. Lost of people will think that Hualien is a undeveloped countryside but it is not true, in Hualien City area you can also find the same atmosphere as Taipei city and the life is easy too. If you leave the city area, you can also experience the peaceful life of the countryside. To the north you will reach the popular taroko national park, in there you can feel the beauty of nature. Last but not least, the Buddhist Tzu Chi Foundation is just beside the Hualien city, Buddhist Tzu Chi Foundation is lead by the Master Cheng Yen, base on charity, medical, education and culture to show mercy to let the whole Taiwan fill with love.
Project Description: In order to put into practice the philosophy of “respecting life” as promoted by Master Cheng Yen, a group of medical volunteers from different organizations in Taiwan established the Tzu Chi medical association (TIMA) in October 1996,One year later, with the hope of treating both physical and mental illnesses around the world, TIMA expanded to include almost a dozen overseas locations. By continuing to provide medical care along with numerous other Tzu Chi international relief teams, TIMA members hope to spread the notion of “the Great Love across all boundaries” all over the world. TIMA is a medical affiliation of the Buddhist Compassion Relief Tzu Chi Foundation. Regardless of one’s race, religion or nationality, anyone with a loving heart and a willingness to contribute one’s medical knowledge is welcome to become a TIMA member. This is done by combining the expertise of a wide range of medical professional, including physicians, nurses, pharmacists, nutritionists and medical technicians.tzu chi commissioners and faith corps members also assist by working in administrative capacities. When it is needed, emergency medical assistance is also made available to the victims in disaster-stricken areas where Tzu Chi international relief worker go to help.
