Heavy rains last fall led to severe flooding
in low-lying areas of Phnom Penh,
Cambodia. On November 23, 2014,
local Tzu Chi volunteers traveled to
Chroy Changvar—one of the hardest hit
districts—and provided emergency cash
to affected families. Photo: Yurong Du

Ever since Tzu Chi volunteers provided flood relief to
Ipswich, Australia, in 2011, Tzu Chi’s connections with the
city have continually grown stronger. Here, an emergency
aid worker returns a bamboo bank full of lovingly
deposited coins on December 7, 2014. Photo Peiyi Qiu

In Hong Kong, Tzu Chi volun-

Advice-Action Council jointly
held a community health event
on November 30, 2014, to con-
duct medical check-ups for local
community members.
