In this photo provided by the Taiwan Presidential Office, the then President of Taiwan Tsai Ing-wen meets with Cheng Yen in Hualien county, eastern Taiwan, Sept. 21, 2022. In 1966, Cheng Yen, a Buddhist nun living in eastern Taiwan, asked local housewives to contribute 50 cents a month to fund her charity. That grassroots effort grew into Tzu Chi, a global organization that responds to disasters and builds schools and hospitals around the world. (Taiwan Presidential Office via AP)
