Supreme Ching Hai Extends Her Loving Concern

To Street Cleaners Injured While On Duty

Knowing that the Aiding Fund for injured Street Cleaners in Formosa was running out, Supreme Ching Hai especially contributed NT 130,000 to the Fund, and instructed Her disciples from the Supreme Ching Hai International Association to contact the relevant authority promptly. After the Taipei Environmental Protection Bureau had provided information on several cases, fellow initiates, directed by the compassionate Supreme Ching Hai, took along some cash to visit and comfort the injured Street Cleaners and their relatives. The injured workers and their families were extremely touched by Supreme Ching Hai's benevolence and generosity, while the Chief of the Taipei Environmental Protection Bureau, Mr. Chen Jin Yang especially expressed gratitude in a letter!

Street cleaners' fund running dry

The Taipei Municipal Bureau of Environmental Protection asked the public for donations to help families of street cleaners who were killed or injured at work.

Five street cleaners died and two were brain dead, while a total of 110 were reported to be injured in the first half of the year, according to the bureau.

The emergency fund to assist the families of dead or injured street cleaners has almost been used up. The bureau asked the public to donate money to the bureau's postal account 13942221 to help the victims' families.

Drunk driving and speeding were to be blamed for over 50 percent of street cleaners' deaths or injuries.

According to the statistics from the bureau, a total of 348 street cleaners were killed in 1993 on the streets, while 204 died when they were on duty last year.
