Over the past few weeks, Tzu Chi volunteers and the Da Ai TV news team have captured endless footage on Typhoon Haiyan`s immense destruction and Tzu Chi`s relief efforts in the disaster areas. As many areas were without power, Da Ai TV reporters struggled to upload their reports and images. Thankfully, with the help of a local tele-communications company, a new fiber-optic line was installed, making it possible for Tzu Chi`s relief efforts to be broadcast worldwide.

過去，在這段期間，慈濟志工與大愛新聞記者，從菲律賓災區傳來許多新聞，但一剛開始災區電力還沒有修復之前，傳輸新聞與照片對記著來說，都是一個挑戰，但是在當地電信業者PLDT公司的幫助下，架設光纖網路，讓慈濟賑災工作，透過科技繞全球。

This year, to highlight the Board of Science and Technology (BOST)'s “Advancing the Nation's Innovative Capacity” exhibition, Executive Yuan organized a special, large-scale area in the National Innovative Information Exhibition. Tzu Chi was offered an opportunity to showcase the “compassionate technology” it mobilizes during disaster relief missions around the world. The display included some of DA.AI Technology's eco-friendly products specifically designed for disaster relief purposes. Visitors also expressed appreciation of the ITRI Emergency Water Boat, Tzu Chi’s eco blankets, instant rice and prefab houses as examples of the love and care that Taiwan regularly sends to comfort those in need around the world—most recently, Typhoon Yolanda victims in the Philippines.

Tzu Chi’s disaster relief teams are well-known for their large deliveries of DA.AI’s gray eco blankets to those in need. The success at bringing “compassionate technology” to people who often lost everything has gained international acclaim. During the exhibition's opening day, Vice President Wu paid a visit to the special Tzu Chi exhibition area. Tzu Chi Foundation's Brother Jason Leou gave details on Tzu Chi and DA.AI Technology's contributions to national and international disaster relief and public welfare programs. Nearby, DA.AI Technology co-founder Brother Fred Lin was introducing the company’s Cradle to Cradle zero-waste technology to Chunghwa Telecom General Manager Mr. Shi Mubiao. And students from Tzu Chi's College of Technology also came ready to learn.

“Love all creatures and show appreciation to the Earth” continues to be DA.AI’s motivation and aim. During disaster relief activities, showing how compassion and technology can overlap is a primary goal. This is only possible thanks to Tzu Chi brothers and sisters known collectively as “recycling Bodhisattvas,” business partners and many other dedicated supporters. The National Innovative Information Exhibition will travel to the North, Middle and South of Taiwan, after ending its run at Taipei International Trade Center between November 30 and December 8. DA.AI staff will be available to answer questions and give tours. See you there!
