碩士 / 南華大學 / 國際暨大陸事務學系亞太研究所碩士班 / 99 / Humanitarian Asistance Rescuers of International Non-Governmental Organizations are usually the first government organization to respond to consequences of natural disasters. Therefore in the opinion of the writer, besides efficiently using their own resources to assist with the rescue, collecting information and gathering more resources. They also assist disaster victims to physically and emotionally reconstruct their lives. Moreover, they could also organize fundraising from a variety of businesses and the general public.
When Taiwan’s economy had just started to boom in 1966, the majority of the population was experiencing improving personal financial situations. However, there were still about 1.3 million people that needed external assistance in Taiwan. In order to help improving the living conditions of the disadvantaged people, Cheng Yen founded Ciji foundation in Hua-Liang. Ciji is also actively involved in doing direct TV interviews with individual cases of poverty. This not only is an effective way of raising awareness and supporting for the individuals, it has also gained Ciji’s public appreciation. Under the name of “Taiwan Buddhism Ciji foundation”, Ciji formally became a member of the United Nations’ The Committee on NGO of the Department of Public Information.
On 26th December 2004, a massive earthquake stumbled upon Indonesia. At Richter scale of 9.0, it was the largest earthquake in the century. The destruction power was tantamount to sixteen thousand nuclear bombs, and the destructive in South Asia Tsunami was 256 times more than the famous 921 Earthquake in Taiwan. The disruption of the disaster took almost three hundred thousand lives. Plus those that are still missing and deaths due to fatal infectious diseases, the number of victims probably well exceed three hundred thousand.
The job of Non-Governmental Organizations is to assist refuge and local residences who were caused by natural disasters to survive in difficult situations. An example of this is the support given by Ciji in the South Asia Tsunami appeal. Non-Governmental Organizations can know how they adapt to various situations during a rescue and how they acquire strategies for gathering resources to approach humanitarian assistance.
This study discusses Ciji working with international organizations in the South Asia Tsunami Appeal and learning from the process, thus they can increase the popularity internationally and establish diplomatic relations. In the field of international humanitarian assistance it will aid Ciji’s visibility internationally and expand international interactions of Taiwan’s Non-Governmental Organizations.
