The world of Tzu Chi (Vol.107)

TZU CHI 107 35 Due to a lack of proper maintenance, Unity School for refugees faced numerous issues like leaking pipes, cracked toilet bowl and cement flooring, and defective lights and windows. For the children’s safety, volunteers – together with the help of 12 former students – refurbished the school on Christmas Day. Everyone hoped to complete the refurbishment and beautification before the school reopened so that the students can have a pleasant environment and peace of mind during their classes. On the first day of the new school term, the reconditioned school welcomed its students to begin another phase of learning in a more conducive environment.
