At School No. 8, Principal Monavar Abbas Pow fights for the rights of her teachers in front of this government official while disregarding the presence of visiting Tzu Chi volunteers. "Our teachers have to take care of these kids during the day and look for food and shelter for their families at night. And they have to come to teach the next day. They are also victims, but they can't get any help! If things go on like this, our teachers will lose their passion to teach..." Her agitation embarrasses the official who doesn't know how to reply, but the volunteers respect her courage and passion. After counseling the teachers, the volunteers hand out medical kits and care packages to teachers and parents the next day.
