◎Recycling Centers Give Hope to Seniors
Malaysia is one of the twenty member countries of APO. Mr. Liao Zhicheng, the representative fromMalaysia’s APO said, “The main purpose of coming toTaiwanthis time is to learn how others do charity work and contribute to the world. After learning about this, I hope to share and promote such ideals with others back inMalaysia.”

Mr. Liao saw Ms. Li Qiulu, a Tzu Chi recycling volunteer, busy sorting out the recycled bottles in the sorting section. He stepped forward and asked, “Do you come here everyday? Do you like coming here? How do you get here every day?” Ms. Li replied with a smile and said, “I come here daily and I enjoy being a volunteer…” At the end of the conversation, he said, “Thank you for sharing. I’m so grateful to you.”

When visiting the Tzu Chi recycling centers, the group could see how each Tzu Chi volunteer selflessly dedicates his/her life to sorting and recycling. They also felt the joy and happiness from the Tzu Chi recycling volunteers and how Tzu Chi Foundation provides a chance for these recycling volunteers to interact with others and thus gives many seniors a spirit of hope and meaning in life. 

◎Entrepreneurs Inspire Kindness and Dedicate Love
In a video shown, the group learned that five socially responsible entrepreneurs founded DA.AI. The company gives new lives to recycled PET bottles through the cycle of love and turns these recycled PET bottles into eco-blankets for disaster relief purpose and other eco-friendly products. DA.AI continues to research and develop new processes of manufacturing eco-friendly products and create more innovative eco-products. During the visit, Mr. Liao was surprised by DA.AI’s efforts to “turn trash into gold and gold into love.” He was even more impressed by the selfless dedication and kindness of the five founding entrepreneurs of DA.AI.

Towards the end of the visit, Mr. Liao shared and said, “This is a learning trip forAPO. When I return toMalaysia, the first thing I want to do is to share everything I learned from my Tzu Chi visit with the other 19APOmember countries. I want to encourage and inspire all on practicing Tzu Chi’s philosophy of how no act of kindness is too small to be done. The power of love is great; anyone can do this. Even a small unit in a company and not necessarily an entire corporation can start doing this.”

◎Undertake Social Responsibilities through Actions
Ms. Li Likuan from CPC’s APO Development Division was the main reason why the two members of Malaysia’s APOwere able to visit Tzu Chi recycling center in Neihu. She accompanied them on a very hot summer day and energetically said, “The main reason we invited APO members to visit is because we want others to understand and recognize the outstanding and socially responsible organizations and companies in Taiwan.”

Ms. Li sincerely hoped that from individuals to countries, everyone could be socially responsible. With everyone’s support, love can be passed onto every corner of this world. The visit was originally for two hours, but it went over time and took nearly three hours. No one was tired and wanted to continue the visit since they were learning a lot.

Taiwan is known for its people’s love and kindness. The eco-products from DA.AI are a result of love. Through recycling and innovative R&D technology, a new cycle of life is given to the Earth’s resources. The seed of recycling is passed on from person to person. DA.AI hopes to be a “well-digger,” like a never-ending stream of love, helping more people around every corner of this world. This, is the “legend of love.”
