Children are like saplings, and when nurtured with dedication by parents, teachers, and volunteers, they will thrive as they grow. Through the Seeds of Hope Meritorious Award, Tzu Chi aims to recognise every child’s growth. It is the organisation’s hope that every child who perseveres in their learning despite adversity receives this warm blessing, giving them the strength to move forward and ultimately transform into a towering tree that shelters others.
