In a warm atmosphere filled with love and fraternity, a team of Tzu Chi volunteers gathered with Master Cheng Yen in an exceptional meeting that reflected the profound spirit of humanity uniting them. This event began with emotional stories of children who had endured the pains of war, finding a safe haven and support at El-Menahil International School, enabling them to pursue their dreams. These stories turned into a beacon of hope, especially as those children reached the milestone of graduating from universities.
One of the most prominent parts of the gathering was the opening of an art exhibition featuring paintings created by the students and teachers of El-Menahil School. These artworks embodied the values and Arab proverbs, expressing the students’ gratitude to the Tzu Chi Foundation and Master Cheng Yen, who stood as their greatest support throughout their journey. The attendees expressed deep admiration for the creativity showcased in these artistic pieces, emphasizing that these paintings are messages of love and thanks, symbolizing the deep humanitarian connection between Tzu Chi Foundation and its students.
With an atmosphere saturated with appreciation and gratitude, commemorative gifts reflecting the spirit of giving and loyalty were presented, accompanied by deeply emotional and heartfelt moments. The event culminated with a dance to the tune of the song *Because We Are One Family*, translated into Arabic by some Tzu Chi volunteers as part of an initiative that embodied the spirit of unity among everyone despite cultural and national diversity.
Volunteers from Istanbul, who could not travel to attend this special gathering, shared heartfelt words that echoed their genuine commitment to the humanitarian principles embodied by Tzu Chi.
This meeting underscored the belief that the entire world can indeed come together as one cohesive family under the banner of love and peace.
