Concluding their trip to assess the damage left by Hurricane Otis in Acapulco, Mexico, Tzu Chi USA volunteers are leaving Mexico with a strong framework of relief work to be completed in January 2024.
With the core team of Tzu Chi volunteers departing for the moment, their final task is to train local volunteers to help determine and assess how much damage has been incurred to each household (in order to help determine how much relief they should receive). Tzu Chi USA’s Martin Kuo explains that, with 41 people attending the training, “we explain to them how to verify the damage of the house.”
But, for California resident and Tzu Chi USA volunteer Theresa Huang, working with disaster survivors in another country is truly eye-opening: “In America, we are so blessed, but people don’t know. They complain, and complain, ‘We don’t have this, we don’t have that.’ We all have a choice: you can choose to be sad, you can be happy. You can be positive, and life goes on.”
