The world of Tzu Chi April 2021 (Vol.133)

TZU CHI 133 47 Despite working for a few hours, he did not feel tired at all. His only hope was to give the family a comfortable living environment. He believes that one who helps others will derive immense joy that money cannot buy. He was deeply touched to see Wui Choong repeatedly expressing his gratitude to the volunteers via hand gestures. After the cleaning, everyone enjoyed some refreshments together. While singing the song, “One Family”, Siew Moi embraced her husband with tears in her eyes. It was a heart- warming sight. As Wui Choong is unable to work for the moment due to his leg injury, the family relies on his wife’s meagre income. Other than providing them with subsidies for daily necessities and care, the volunteers also visited the Malacca Deaf Association to find out how the Association can assist Wui Choong in getting a job, as well as obtain some information relating to medical care and social welfare. The chairman of the Association and a few staff soon paid a visit to Wui Choong and helped register him as a member of the Association, so that they could offer further assistance in job search, children’s education and welfare. They are also willing to provide free interpretation services to bridge the communication gap between the volunteers and the couple, thereby working together to help the disadvantaged families. Tzu Chi volunteers helped clean up Png Wui Choong’s home.
