From January 5-7, 2024, Tzu Chi USA, Tzu Chi Mexico, Tzu Chi Ecuador, and Tzu Chi Argentina teamed up to host back-to-back emergency financial aid distributions to benefit those who’d been severely impacted by Hurricane Otis in Acapulco, Mexico .
There, volunteers linked up with the Taipei Economic & Cultural Office (TECO) in Mexico and locally-based Taiwanese residents to help. Present to help at the distribution on January 7th himself, TECO Representative Armando Cheng remarked that Otis, a category 5 storm, was “the most serious one they’ve ever had in history,” across the region.
But, seeing the progress the city has made, in addition to seeing how some residents were faring a little more than two months since the Hurricane struck, he also said that “this area has already stood up with steady steps, strong and resilient, bravely moving forward.”
