“We hope that our connection (Tzu Chi and cash-for work participants) will continue even without any disasters happening and even without money being paid to you. No one wanted disasters to happen, all we could do is to help one another for your immediate recovery.”
“Umaasa kami na ang ating ugnayan (Tzu Chi at mga kalahok ng cash-for-work) ay magpapatuloy kahit walang sakunang nagaganap at kahit na walang perang ibinabayad sa inyo. Walang sinuman ang may kagustuhan na may sakunang mangyari, ang tanging magagawa lamang natin ay tulungan ang bawat isa para sa mas mabilis ninyong pagbuti.”
