Earth Day 2011
Happy Earth Day everyone! Let's work together to care for our planet.
Come to Tzu Chi's "Bottles to Blankets" exhibit in White Plaza on Friday and Saturday, where we'll have a display on how plastic bottles can be converted into eco-friendly blankets, clothing and other textiles. Reduce, reuse, recycle! And rethink! We will also be helping the Million Crane Project table to raise awareness for Japan earthquake relief.
To find out more on the awesome process of how bottles are turned into blankets:

"Love Without Borders" - Empowering Women in South Africa
In post-apartheid South Africa in the early 1990s, Taiwanese businessmen and Tzu Chi volunteers started a job-training program to empower Zulu women and help them overcome poverty. Thousands eventually took part, and not only did these women emerge from poverty -- they also uncovered the power of unconditional giving. As they began to care for AIDS patients and orphans in impoverished Zulu communities, their actions sparked a movement that continues to spread the seeds of love.
Two of these legendary Zulu women, Gladys Ngema and Tolakele Mkhize, recently led a workshop at the UN Commission on the Status of Women. Please join us for a special evening, where Gladys, Tolakele and businessman Michael Pan will share their inspiring life stories and discuss their humanitarian work with the Tzu Chi Foundation (慈濟基金會) in South Africa.
Tzu Chi, whose name means "compassion and relief," is the largest NGO in the Chinese-speaking world. Founded in 1966 by the Venerable Master Cheng Yen, it has over 10 million members and chapters in over 40 countries. The group's core activities span Charity, Medicine, Education and Disaster Relief, and it provides aid to all people regardless of race or religion.
7:30 PM at San Jose State University (March 8)
2 PM at Bayview Opera House, SF (March 9)
Free and open to the public. For more information or to RSVP, please visit: http://www.tcnw.org/love or call (408) 666-0624.

California Tzu Ching Retreat
The all-California Tzu Ching Retreat is coming up at the end of the month, on Sat/Sun February 26 & 27.
The intrepid UC Davis chapter will be hosting the event (located on their campus in pastoral Yolo County) and they'll be providing accommodations for us on both days. Our fellow Tzu Chi volunteers from UC Berkeley, UC Merced, San Jose and San Francisco will all be there!
This is a great opportunity to meet up with other Tzu Ching and find out about the projects they're implementing at their schools, as well as to absorb some Tzu Chi culture. =D The theme they've chosen is "Environmental Protection."
It'll be a worthwhile weekend, with workshops on putting "compassion into action" and plenty of other fun activities, too! If you're interested, don't forget to register. It'd be great if our whole Stanford team could represent!
P.S. We will figure out transportation soon. For now, we can just put "Friday" and "Sunday" for arrival/departure, and "Carpool" for Mode of Transport.
