慈濟非營利組織與華印族群問題

A Study of the Non-Profit Organizations of Tzu Chi and Racial Problem in Indonesia

印尼華人在印尼居住已有二千餘年歷史，對印尼奉獻頗多，然而印尼自一九五四年獨立之後，採取民族化政策，對華人諸多限制。雖然部份歧視華人的法令，在前總統瓦希德任內已被廢除，但是仍有許多限制，華人在生活、就業、求學與印尼土著有別，在機會上受到限制。二百多年前印尼雅加達（巴達維亞城）發生「紅河之役」，華人死傷損失慘重，此乃華人歷史的悲痛。二○○三年台灣慈濟基金會，在雅加達紅溪河畔建設「大愛村」，解決印尼人民水患的困擾，改善河畔一千多戶居民的生活及學生學習環境。慈濟的人道救援，尊重生命，打破種族與地域的界線，互相尊重、關懷，在印尼舉辦義診、賑災、救濟，協助災民重新生活，渡過難關，正是非政府組織、非營利組織功能的發揮，對弭平華印種族衝突，當有一定的效果。印尼華人有許多社團、宗祠、基金會、宗教的組織團體，應該發揮非營利組織的精神，融入印尼人民社會，提供公共服務，增進華印兩族族群之融合。

There has been a history for more than 2000 years of Chinese inhabiting Indonesia. However, since the independence of Indonesia in 1954, it adopted racial policies, imposing many limitations on the Chinese residing in Indonesia. Although many of the laws and regulations that discriminate against the Chinese people have been abolished by late-President Wahid, there are still many limitations for Chinese people in the aspects of lifestyle, job opportunities, schooling, etc, in which Chinese people do not enjoy equality and equal opportunities when compared to natives of Indonesia. About 200 years ago, in Batavia (Jakarta now), the Battle of Red River broke out. In the clash, Chinese people suffered severe loss, a painful page of history for the Chinese. In 2003, Tzu Chi Foundation from Taiwan established the Dai-Ai Village by the bank of Red River, Jakarta to help Indonesians that had suffered in the flood and improved the environment for living and studying for about 1000 families. The humanistic help offered by Tzu Chi, breaks down the barriers between geographical location, race, and ethnicity, shedding light on mutual-trust and care. In Indonesia, the Foundation also offers free medical services, disaster relief, charity, and assistance to help all the people overcome their hardships. Assistance offered by non-governmental and non-profit organizations such as Tzu Chi works incredibly in appeasing the racial conflicts between the Chinese and Indonesians. Further, there are still many non-profit organizations, such as civilian groups, ancestral temples, foundations, etc, which should have their humanistic functions of non-profit organizations fully developed to blend in the Indonesian societies by offering public services to promote the integration between the races of Chinese and Indonesians.
