The world of Tzu Chi (Vol.106)

TZU CHI 106 43 As many foreign workers in Malaysia are unable to return home for Christmas, Tzu Chi volunteers held a Christmas party at the recycling centre in Taman Desa and invited the locals and foreign workers to join in the celebration.At this time of giving, volunteer Francis Tan personally crafted a Christmas-themed bamboo coin bank for everyone, and encouraged them to save for charity. An Indonesian domestic helper, Dina Wati Faot, who was certified as a Tzu Chi Commissioner in 2018, shared her joy of participating in charity work. It moved her fellow countryman, Dede Supriatin Desting, who also aspired to start doing charity. Together, everyone prayed for the world to be a better place filled with love. Tzu-Chi Free Clinic at Taman Sentosa, Klang, will increase its medical services for refugees commencing 2019, by opening six days a week instead of thrice weekly. On December 11, 2018, volunteers specially organized a free clinic outreach at the Rohingya community to provide medical consultations, instil health care knowledge, and more importantly, introduce the kind of services available at the Free Clinic to the refugees. The medical outreach benefitted 317 refugees. Volunteers will also continue to go to other refugee communities in Klang to provide similar services, thus making more refugees aware of the services available to them.
