1.菲發放第一天 1st day of relief on Mindanao
In the Philippines” Mindanao, Tzu Chi began large-scale post-Washi disaster relief distributions on Wednesday, December 28th. Due to the sudden increase in the number of people in need of assistance, volunteers now plan to hold eight distributions in three days. As the shipment of supplies was delayed, on Wednesday, rice from Taiwan was first handed out to 3,000 families in Cagayan de Oro.
慈濟在菲律賓民答那峨島上，為瓦西風災的災民舉辦的大型發放，從星期三 12月28號開始，由於發放人數超過預期，志工決定展開三天八場發放，又因為所有物資沒有如預期抵達，星期三只好先發放來自台灣的大米，幫助卡加延德奧羅市的三千戶人家。
2.前黃鎮發放 Relief supplies for Quanzhou residents
As part of Tzu Chi”s annual winter aid distribution in China, on Tuesday, Tzu Chi volunteers in Fujian Province visited seniors and underprivileged families in Quanzhou”s Qianhuang Town with winter supplies. Volunteers also made personal deliveries to those who could not attend the event.

Staying in Quanzhou, on Wednesday, volunteers traveled to the districts of Licheng, Fengze, and Luojiang (鯉城、豐澤、洛江) to deliver supplies to 4,300 households. The organizer of this year”s distribution is Liu Tianchuan (劉田川) , who is a local volunteer from Quanzhou. Thanks to his hard work and commitment to the Tzu Chi cause, the distributions were a resounding success. Also attending were members of the media, who tried their hand at volunteering for the day and came away feeling extremely rewarded by the experience.

4.易縣特殊發放 Tzu Chi visits education center in Hebei
Tzu Chi volunteers from China”s Hebei Province recently traveled to Yi County”s special education center, where they delivered winter goods to the school”s students. As the school is still under construction and funds are limited, volunteers also brought along food and daily necessities, thereby helping the students get a nutritious and filling lunch.
河北地區的慈濟志工，日前來到易縣的特殊教育中心，贈送冬季物資給學生們，由於學校還在建設中，經費有限，志工提供的食物和生活用品，剛好能彌補學生午餐的問題。

6.蘇州醫療個案 New ear, new hope
With China”s growing wealth gap, countless people who are struggling to get by often choose to ignore their illness. To help find a solution to break the cycle of poverty and sickness, Tzu Chi volunteers in Suzhou are currently working on the construction of a community health center that will offer health consultations. In our next report, we meet one disadvantaged family whose child was born hard of hearing but had little money to seek out the best medical care. Thankfully, the Taichung Tzu Chi Hospital in Taiwan, and a local children”s hospital came together to give the young patient a cochlear implant, bringing hope to a once desperate family.

《 衲履足跡 》On Educating the Wealthy 談教富濟貧
You are most blessed and happy when you have the ability to help those in need. Happiness cannot be bought with money.
There is a fine line between wanting to give and waiting for help. If we change our perspective and attitude, we will be able to give our love to the needy.
有能力幫助人的人最有福，也是最快樂的人，這分快樂不是用金錢能賺取的。願意付出或是坐等別人的幫助，只在一念之差，若能轉變觀念與心態，也能以愛付出。

8.海地辣木農場 Planting Miracle Trees for Haiti
In Haiti, Tzu Chi is encouraging residents to plant the Moringa, or Miracle Tree, as it is also known. The tree could help solve the food shortage problem in the country. Recently, five US volunteers sacrificed their Christmas holidays, and flew the quake-hit Caribbean country, to help local volunteers establish their first ever Moringa Great Love Farm. The team chose the nearby area of Silbert, near Port au Prince, as the location for the farm, so volunteers from the capital could easily make the trip to the plantation.
在海地，慈濟志工推廣辣木種植的計劃，來協助解決食物短缺的問題，最近慈濟美國總會組成了五個人的小團隊，利用耶誕假期回到海地，和海地志工一同推動慈濟，在海地的第一座大愛辣木農場，慈濟志工特別選在鄰近太子港的希爾伯特設立辣木農場，讓居住在太子港的海地志工，能夠天天到農場工作。

1.菲發放準備 Philippines Distributions begin
We start today in the Philippines, where in Mindanao, volunteers started relief distributions, in the storm-hit cities of Cagayan de Oro and Iligan, on Wednesday. Due to the extensive destruction, caused by Typhoon Washi, the estimated number of people in need of help has dramatically increased. That need was compounded by a delay in the arrival of supplies, which forced volunteers to make changes in their distribution plans. Before the hand-out began, the volunteers also visited some temporary shelters, to pass vouchers to victims.
慈濟志工開始在菲律賓民答那峨島上，受風災的卡加延德羅市跟伊里甘市，舉辦大型發放，因為瓦西颱風所造成的破壞，需要幫助的人越來越多，加上原本要抵達的物資出了狀況，志工只能以智慧應變，而發放開始前，志工先前往，災區的收容所發送物資發放卡。
2.菲風災募款 Philippines Supporting post-Washi relief
To give families in Mindanao hope, Tzu Chi volunteers in the Philippines are raising money in whichever way they can. In Metro Manila, Tzu Chings sang Christmas carols, at a fundraiser at Quezon City Sports Club; and other volunteers hit the streets, to collect money from passersby.
為了幫助民達那峨島上，瓦西風災的災民，菲律賓的慈濟志工到處募款，在計順市，慈青靠唱聖誕頌歌，在計順市運動中心募心募款，而馬尼拉的志工則是走上街頭，向民眾募愛心。
3.佛統府以工代賑 ThailandRelief work in Kalahome
Tzu Chi”s relief-work program was first implemented in disaster areas of Manila, which were hit by Typhoon Ketsana, in 2009. In the scheme, residents were paid to clean up their neighborhoods. After successfully reproducing the program in Hunsa village, of Bangkok, volunteers in Thailand introduced the program in the Kalahome community.
慈濟以工代賑的計畫首先在馬尼拉，2009年凱莎娜風災後，實施這個計畫，讓居民能打掃自己的家園，又能領取到工資，慈濟在泰國曼谷的涵灑村，實施該計畫圓滿後，也讓卡拉宏社區水災災民，可以一邊打掃又能賺錢。
4.涵灑村環保日 ThailandRecycling day in Hunsa
After experiencing the full force of nature, residents in the Hunsa neighborhood of Bangkok are also ready to embrace recycling. Having survived one of the worst floods to ever hit the nation, the residents fully understand how the climate is changing, due to global warming.
感受到大自然威力的可怕，泰國曼谷涵灑村的居民，開始做起環保愛護地球，體驗水患災難後，居民完全了解，因為全球暖化、氣候變遷的處境。

The goal of recycling waste is to encourage and teach everyone how to cherish blessings.
資源回收的目的，在於提倡與教育人人懂得惜福。
5.1227北朝鮮(2)幕後觀察 North KoreaCrossing barriers
North Korea”s Kim Jung-il was buried in Pyongyang yesterday, with tens of thousands of mourners lining the streets. The untimely death of the ”dear leader” cut short Tzu Chi”s latest distribution of aid, to the disaster-hit country. Before the announcement was made, there were happier scenes, as volunteers handed out food, to hungry villagers.
北朝鮮領導人金正日逝世，北朝鮮昨天舉行盛大的國葬儀式，居民沿街悼念，因為領導人突如其來的死訊，讓慈濟對災區的發放中斷，宣告國傷訊息前，發放物資的氣氛很歡喜。

9.海南冬令發放 ChinaWinter aid distribution in Hainan
Tzu Chi completed a winter aid-distribution on Hainan Island last weekend. The Chinese island was ravaged by two typhoons in October, which brought down torrential rainfall, and mudslides, that affected over a million people.

《 衲履足跡 》On Education 談教育
Education provides the knowledge and skills to train talented people in all professions. However, if education is elitist, children will become selfish and self-serving.
The school system should nurture society”s outstanding individuals to put their knowledge to good use for the benefit of society.
教育傳授知識、技術，即是要為各行各業培訓人才；但若是教育偏差，只會讓孩子徒具知識與聰明，愈益自私自利。教育是為社會培育菁英，發揮所長，才是社會之福。

《 衲履足跡 》On Education 談教育
Education provides the knowledge and skills to train talented people in all professions. However, if education is elitist, children will become selfish and self-serving.
The school system should nurture society”s outstanding individuals to put their knowledge to good use for the benefit of society.
教育傳授知識、技術，即是要為各行各業培訓人才；但若是教育偏差，只會讓孩子徒具知識與聰明，愈益自私自利。教育是為社會培育菁英，發揮所長，才是社會之福。

In Aceh, Indonesia, and Hambantota in Sri Lanka, Tzu Chi also implemented mid- to long-term reconstruction programs, to help tsunami survivors start their lives anew.
如歷史今天的報導，在2004年這一天，在印尼發生規模九級的地震，引發了海嘯，嚴重波及12個南亞國家，災難後，志工們馬上在泰國、馬來西亞、斯里蘭卡以及印尼展開勘災及救災工作，在印尼的亞齊、斯里蘭卡的漢班托塔，更列入慈濟中長期援助重點地區，幫助災民重建家園。
《 衲履足跡 》 On Healthy Eating 談健康食
The impurity of disasters is caused by human beings, and only human beings are capable of bringing peace. The first step is to take on a meatless diet.
Vegetarian food is healthy; people who adopt the diet respect all living beings, have a loving and healthy mind and body.
「劫濁」是人為的，也唯有人能讓世間恢復清淨；從「食」的習慣開始「清淨在源頭」，就是素食。素食是「健康食」，素食者懂得尊重生命而能以愛行善，身心健康。

1.菲勘災第二天Follow up on Washi survey
In the Philippines, Tzu Chi volunteers from Manila, Cebu and Zamboanga arrived in Mindanao”s Iligan City, which was pummeled by the recent Typhoon Washi. Besides providing the Buddhist NGO with a distribution venue, the city”s vice mayor also accompanied the eight-men survey team into the disaster areas. Sadly, the massive destruction seemed to be the result of excessive logging.
在菲律賓，來自馬尼拉、宿務，及三寶顏的慈濟志工，來到輕颱瓦西重創民答那峨島上的依里甘市，市府方面除了將提供一處場地給慈濟發放外，副市長也在陪同慈濟的八人勘災小組前進災區，可惜的是災情慘重的原因之一，是濫伐樹木所造成的。
2.桃園獨居清掃MAIN:TaiwanHelping senior living in solitude
We”ll have more on Tzu Chi”s aid efforts in the Philippines, in the next few days. Over to Taoyuan, Taiwan, Mr. Jiang is an 81-year-old war veteran, who lives alone. Unable to take care of himself, the senior”s house became messy and unpleasant. With New Years just around the corner, volunteers came to help the elderly man clean up and get him ready for the year ahead.
未來幾天，還會帶大家看看慈濟在菲律賓的救災行動，接下來，轉到台灣桃園，有一位高齡81歲的榮民伯伯，蔣伯伯，他一個人獨居，無力顧及居家環境，因此生活環境十分髒亂，志工特別前來幫忙打掃，讓老人家準備好過個新年。

4.星助學花絮Transportation snags before scholarship awards
Before the 2012 Tzu Chi scholarship ceremony, Singapore”s mass transit system, SMRT, had two major accidents. Some of the lines had to be closed down for evaluation on the day of the ceremony. Before that, in view of upcoming transportation bottlenecks, volunteers decided to move the ceremony back 30 min in order to allow students and their parent enough time to get to the venue.
新加坡地鐵，在助學金發放典禮前，發生兩次嚴重的癱瘓事故，因此新加坡地鐵決定在助學金發放典禮之前，緊急關閉兩條主要幹線軌道，作全面地毯式的檢查，這臨時的緊急事故，考驗著慈濟志工的默契與智慧，決定延遲半個小時才開始典禮，讓學生和家長能有充裕時間來參與。
5.有機營養午餐Organic greens for school lunches
In an effort to improve the nutrition of school lunches, the New Taipei City government launched an ”Organic Vegetables for Lunch” campaign, whereby farmers are subsidized to grow and supply organic vegetables for nearby schools once a week. So far, 14 schools in New Taipei City are benefiting from the scheme. Students not only eat healthy, but also become more aware of how organic farming is less harmful for the environment.
為了讓學童的午餐更營養，新北市政府開辦安心蔬菜，補助在地農民耕作有機蔬菜，將有機蔬菜提供給附近的國中小當作營養午餐，一周一次有機蔬菜新鮮直送，目前在新北市已經有14所學校開始實施，讓小朋友吃得安心，也將種植有機愛護地球的觀念深植在小朋友們的心中。
6.有機耕作護家園Balancing nature
Su Xingli (蘇興李), the organic farmer we met in the last report, supplies vegetables to four elementary schools in the Sanxia area of New Taipei City. Su used to be in the construction industry, before he changed his career to farming, some 16 years ago. Clueless about organic farming in the beginning, Su”s crops failed several times. Even today, although his farming business just breaks even, Su says at least his organic greens bring people wholesome goodness. The happy farmer has also created an educational farm for more people to get in touch with nature.
上一則報導中的有機農場主人－蘇興李，提供新北市三峽地區，總共有4間小學，新鮮的有機蔬菜，蘇興李原本在台北從事營造業，16年前他開始耕作有機蔬菜，一開始一竅不通，完全沒有收成，直到今天，他說農場依舊沒有賺錢，但他的菜帶給他人健康快樂，還開辦教育農場，希望推廣給更多人認識我們的大地。

1.菲律賓勘災 Helping in the aftermath of Washi
Following the destruction caused by tropical storm Washi, the government of the Philippines has appealed for international aid.

《 衲履足跡 》談學佛 On Practicing Buddhism
Being a Buddhist doesn”t mean simply praying to Buddha or reciting sutras, but to take Buddha”s spirit to heart and to understand Buddha”s wisdom. Tzu Chi people do not pray to Buddha for blessing but lend a helping hand to those in need. We should answer our calling instead of asking Buddha to respond to us.
學佛並非只拜佛或念佛，而是要把佛陀的精神理念入心，了解其智慧。慈濟人不是求佛保佑，而是得知有人需幫助時，給予協助。是要感應人，而不是求佛感應自己。

1.1219宏都拉斯Honduras Setting up prefabs for flood victims
We start today”s show in Honduras, where local volunteers and their colleagues form El Salvador, under the guidance of US Tzu Chi volunteers, are in the country, assembling prefabricated housing, for flood victims. With the work into its second day, the volunteers have got the hang of the process, and now six people working together can assemble a house in less than an hour. While not putting up new homes, the volunteers paid a visit to the houses they made the previous day, to see how the new owners are getting on.
節目一開始來到宏都拉斯，宏都拉斯和薩爾瓦多的志工，來到宏都拉斯的第二天，透過美國慈濟志工的教導，協助受災居民搭建簡易屋，工程到了第二天，志工們已熟悉搭建辦法，現在能夠靠6個人，在1個小時內搭建完成一座簡易屋，志工們也回到前一天搭建好的簡易屋，了解居民們在裡面居住的情況。
2.加救世軍發放Extra special Christmas
Tzu Chi volunteers in Vancouver, Canada, have been working together with the Salvation Army, to provide monthly meals for the homeless, for the past 16 years. With the approach of Christmas, the volunteers organized an extra meal. After they cooked the Christmas feast, the volunteers headed over to the local Detox Centre, to give some encouragement, and festive cheer, to the recovering drug addicts. But we catch up with the busy volunteers, hard at work in the kitchen.
加拿大溫哥華慈濟人，十六年來和當地救世軍合作，關懷街友，為街友提供熱食，在耶誕節前，多舉辦一次供餐，供餐後，志工還來到戒護森嚴的勒戒所，為正在勒戒的朋友加油打氣，一起來看看志工在熱食中心準備的情形。
3.日東北祈福會Japan Year-end blessings for Northeast
In the seven months, since the March 11 earthquake and tsunami in Japan, Tzu Chi volunteers have organized ten distributions of emergency cash. Recently, the volunteers went back to the disaster-hit prefectures, of Iwate and Miyagi, to hold four year-end blessing and prayer events. The volunteers said they hoped to calm the nerves of the residents. And the residents responded enthusiastically, coming in huge numbers, despite cold weather and long distances, to say a big thank you to Tzu Chi.
日本三一一災後七個月，持續為受災民眾進行十次見舞金發放，最近，特別來到東北，宮城縣和岩手縣的重災區，舉辦四場歲末祈福會，希望和居民分享心靈的平靜，居民反應熱烈，儘管天氣寒冷，路途遙遠，許多居民還是前來要對慈濟表示感恩之意。
4.曼谷祈福會Thailand 2011 Blessing Ceremony and Concert
Tzu Chi recently organized another blessing event, in the other disaster-hit country of Thailand. Held in Bangkok, on December 17, the ”2011 Thailand Blessing Ceremony and Concert” featured Israeli countertenor David D”Or, and Taiwanese singer Zhan Yawen(詹雅雯). The later is a Tzu Chi volunteer, and her music is very familiar to the Thai audience. Moved by the whole occasion, and the courage of the Thai people, Zhan Yawen offered a big donation to the flood relief effort.
2011年泰國感恩祈福音樂會，在12月17日於曼谷舉行，以色列聲樂家大衛迪歐，以及來自台灣的台語歌手詹雅雯，為募集愛心獻唱，他們的音樂感動了許多人，並啟發大家一起持續，為當地五十年來最嚴重的水患災民，付出一份心力，協助重建家園。
5.馬推大體捐贈Raising awareness of ”Silent Mentors”
In Taiwan, Tzu Chi”s Silent Mentor program, where people pledge to donate their bodies to medical science after death, has been going for 16 years. Inspired by the positive effects of the scheme, Dr. Chen Qinghua, from the University of Malaysia, is campaigning to start a similar project, in his own country. Here is more, on Dr. Chen”s efforts.
在台灣，慈濟推動大體捐贈，供醫療研究已實行了16年，馬來亞大學的陳慶華教授，看到這分大愛精神，對醫療品質與服務的提昇，決定引進馬來西亞，以下是陳教授努力的故事。
6.器捐有大用Taiwan Organ donation waiting list woes
While Taiwan has a successful Silent Mentor - or full body donation program - there is still a shortage of organ donors. According to the Organ Registry and Sharing Center, every year, just 200 people become organ donors. Among them, 55 pct were declared brain dead, due to a stroke or other illness. The second highest group, at 22 pct, are those who died in accidents. There are still 7,776 people on the waiting list for a donation. Yet, experts say 90 percent of patients who need an organ, are not even on the list. We investigate the problem, in more detail, in our next story.
台灣成功推廣大體捐贈，不過，器官捐贈仍有很大的成長空間，台灣器捐移植中心表示，國內每年有兩百多位器官捐贈者，是總人口的十萬分之一，其中以中風等疾病，造成腦死排名最高，其次是意外事故，有百分之22，目前為止有效登錄的需求病患高達7776人，但是卻還有九成，沒有完成登記，明顯指出有成長的空間。
7.教養院義診Taiwan Visiting Lonchi Home
Tzu Chi”s medical volunteers, in south Taiwan, regularly visit the Lonchi(龍崎) Home for the Disabled, to hold free dental clinics for the residents. Checking the teeth, of mentally handicapped patients, takes extra care, but thanks to five years of effort, the residents are getting fewer cavities.
慈濟人醫會的成員定期前往，位在南台灣偏遠山區的台南龍崎教養院，為院友進行牙科義診，這份工作因為病患特殊的需求，需要更多的愛心與耐心，但因為人醫會五年來持續的關懷，院生的狀況已經有改善許多。
8.澎湖耶誕送愛Taiwan Concern at Penghu Nursing Home
Volunteers on the outlying island of Penghu joined the annual Christmas party, at the Tri-Service General Hospital - Penghu Branch - Nursing Home. While the residents enjoyed the show, the volunteers helped relax them, with gentle massages.
慈濟人來到台灣離島－澎湖，三總醫院澎湖分院的護理之家，為院民舉辦耶誕慶祝活動，院友看表演之外，慈濟志工還為他們按摩，紓解院友的情緒。

1.1219宏都拉斯Honduras Setting up prefabs for flood victims
We start today”s show in Honduras, where local volunteers and their colleagues form El Salvador, under the guidance of US Tzu Chi volunteers, are in the country, assembling prefabricated housing, for flood victims. With the work into its second day, the volunteers have got the hang of the process, and now six people working together can assemble a house in less than an hour. While not putting up new homes, the volunteers paid a visit to the houses they made the previous day, to see how the new owners are getting on.
節目一開始來到宏都拉斯，宏都拉斯和薩爾瓦多的志工，來到宏都拉斯的第二天，透過美國慈濟志工的教導，協助受災居民搭建簡易屋，工程到了第二天，志工們已熟悉搭建辦法，現在能夠靠6個人，在1個小時內搭建完成一座簡易屋，志工們也回到前一天搭建好的簡易屋，了解居民們在裡面居住的情況。
2.加救世軍發放Extra special Christmas
Tzu Chi volunteers in Vancouver, Canada, have been working together with the Salvation Army, to provide monthly meals for the homeless, for the past 16 years. With the approach of Christmas, the volunteers organized an extra meal. After they cooked the Christmas feast, the volunteers headed over to the local Detox Centre, to give some encouragement, and festive cheer, to the recovering drug addicts. But we catch up with the busy volunteers, hard at work in the kitchen.
加拿大溫哥華慈濟人，十六年來和當地救世軍合作，關懷街友，為街友提供熱食，在耶誕節前，多舉辦一次供餐，供餐後，志工還來到戒護森嚴的勒戒所，為正在勒戒的朋友加油打氣，一起來看看志工在熱食中心準備的情形。
3.日東北祈福會Japan Year-end blessings for Northeast
In the seven months, since the March 11 earthquake and tsunami in Japan, Tzu Chi volunteers have organized ten distributions of emergency cash. Recently, the volunteers went back to the disaster-hit prefectures, of Iwate and Miyagi, to hold four year-end blessing and prayer events. The volunteers said they hoped to calm the nerves of the residents. And the residents responded enthusiastically, coming in huge numbers, despite cold weather and long distances, to say a big thank you to Tzu Chi.
日本三一一災後七個月，持續為受災民眾進行十次見舞金發放，最近，特別來到東北，宮城縣和岩手縣的重災區，舉辦四場歲末祈福會，希望和居民分享心靈的平靜，居民反應熱烈，儘管天氣寒冷，路途遙遠，許多居民還是前來要對慈濟表示感恩之意。
4.曼谷祈福會Thailand 2011 Blessing Ceremony and Concert
Tzu Chi recently organized another blessing event, in the other disaster-hit country of Thailand. Held in Bangkok, on December 17, the ”2011 Thailand Blessing Ceremony and Concert” featured Israeli countertenor David D”Or, and Taiwanese singer Zhan Yawen(詹雅雯). The later is a Tzu Chi volunteer, and her music is very familiar to the Thai audience. Moved by the whole occasion, and the courage of the Thai people, Zhan Yawen offered a big donation to the flood relief effort.
2011年泰國感恩祈福音樂會，在12月17日於曼谷舉行，以色列聲樂家大衛迪歐，以及來自台灣的台語歌手詹雅雯，為募集愛心獻唱，他們的音樂感動了許多人，並啟發大家一起持續，為當地五十年來最嚴重的水患災民，付出一份心力，協助重建家園。
5.馬推大體捐贈Raising awareness of ”Silent Mentors”
In Taiwan, Tzu Chi”s Silent Mentor program, where people pledge to donate their bodies to medical science after death, has been going for 16 years. Inspired by the positive effects of the scheme, Dr. Chen Qinghua, from the University of Malaysia, is campaigning to start a similar project, in his own country. Here is more, on Dr. Chen”s efforts.
在台灣，慈濟推動大體捐贈，供醫療研究已實行了16年，馬來亞大學的陳慶華教授，看到這分大愛精神，對醫療品質與服務的提昇，決定引進馬來西亞，以下是陳教授努力的故事。
6.器捐有大用Taiwan Organ donation waiting list woes
While Taiwan has a successful Silent Mentor - or full body donation program - there is still a shortage of organ donors. According to the Organ Registry and Sharing Center, every year, just 200 people become organ donors. Among them, 55 pct were declared brain dead, due to a stroke or other illness. The second highest group, at 22 pct, are those who died in accidents. There are still 7,776 people on the waiting list for a donation. Yet, experts say 90 percent of patients who need an organ, are not even on the list. We investigate the problem, in more detail, in our next story.
台灣成功推廣大體捐贈，不過，器官捐贈仍有很大的成長空間，台灣器捐移植中心表示，國內每年有兩百多位器官捐贈者，是總人口的十萬分之一，其中以中風等疾病，造成腦死排名最高，其次是意外事故，有百分之22，目前為止有效登錄的需求病患高達7776人，但是卻還有九成，沒有完成登記，明顯指出有成長的空間。
7.教養院義診Taiwan Visiting Lonchi Home
Tzu Chi”s medical volunteers, in south Taiwan, regularly visit the Lonchi(龍崎) Home for the Disabled, to hold free dental clinics for the residents. Checking the teeth, of mentally handicapped patients, takes extra care, but thanks to five years of effort, the residents are getting fewer cavities.
慈濟人醫會的成員定期前往，位在南台灣偏遠山區的台南龍崎教養院，為院友進行牙科義診，這份工作因為病患特殊的需求，需要更多的愛心與耐心，但因為人醫會五年來持續的關懷，院生的狀況已經有改善許多。
8.澎湖耶誕送愛Taiwan Concern at Penghu Nursing Home
Volunteers on the outlying island of Penghu joined the annual Christmas party, at the Tri-Service General Hospital - Penghu Branch - Nursing Home. While the residents enjoyed the show, the volunteers helped relax them, with gentle massages.
慈濟人來到台灣離島－澎湖，三總醫院澎湖分院的護理之家，為院民舉辦耶誕慶祝活動，院友看表演之外，慈濟志工還為他們按摩，紓解院友的情緒。

1.日十梯發放 10th distribution at Fukushima
It has been nine months since the March 11 earthquake and tsunami, that left northeast Japan in a state of chaos. Since the disaster, Tzu Chi has held ten distributions: handing out consolation cash to over 96,000 families. At the latest distribution, volunteers arrived in the hard-hit Fukushima Prefecture, where residents” lives have also been affected by radiation, from the Fukushima nuclear power plant. The arrival of Tzu Chi, is a boost for the disaster victims, who are still trying to piece their lives back together.
三一一地震重創日本東北地區，已經過了九個月，慈濟人舉辦了十個梯次的見舞金發放，一共發給9萬6千多個家庭，第十梯次的發放腳步，來到福島縣裡，受核災嚴重影響生活，而慈濟的到來，為仍在重建家園的居民帶來信心。
2.馬來西亞助產 Maternal care in Sabah
From Japan to Malaysia, where Tzu Chi established a maternity care home, in the isolated island of Pitas, on the north coast of Sabah, in 2003. The care home is opposite the local clinic, just five minutes walk away. Previously, even if expectant mothers made it down the mountain, from their villages, to the clinic, before they gave birth, they were often turned away, because they were not ill. So, many mothers decided to give birth at home - which pushed up the infant mortality rate. In 1998, Tzu Chi volunteers came to Pitas to deliver aid relief, after a serious drought. After that, they kept coming, discovering the need for a care home. And the rest is history.
從日本轉到馬來西亞，慈濟在馬來西亞沙巴，2003年成立了”生命關懷之家”，關懷之家就位在診所的對面，只要5分鐘的路程，以往在當地偏遠部落的孕婦，就算提早下山，到了當地唯一診療所，卻因為他們不是病患，產期還沒到，無法住院，因此很多婦女選擇在家待產，讓新生兒死亡率居高，志工在1998年，因為嚴重乾旱來發放，之後還是前來持續關懷當地，為需要的人帶來援助，來看今天的故事。
《 靜思語 》
Those who realize the truth seize every moment and make it everlasting. Those who do not, idle away their time and live in regret.
覺者，把握剎那為永恆；迷者，虛度光陰後悔遲。
3.★1213(慈濟)台北分會 Building Taipei Tzu Chi office
Master Cheng Yen founded Tzu Chi nearly 46 years ago, in Taiwan”s secluded Hualien County, as a way to put Buddhism in action. Tzu Chi means ”compassionate relief”. When the Master set out to build a hospital, in Hualien, in 1972, local housewives showed their support, by making small daily donations. Bit by bit, the contributions also led to the construction of the Taipei Tzu Chi office, in 1988, which helped expand Tzu Chi”s work internationally.
將近46年前，證嚴法師在台灣地處偏僻的花蓮創建慈濟功德會，透過慈悲救濟行人間佛法，1972年開始，上人籌募基金，要在花蓮蓋醫院，許多台北地區的家庭主婦都熱情響應，也種下了1988年蓋台北分會新大樓的因緣，也推動慈濟成為一個國際組織。
4.馬公獨居送床 Caring for solitary senior
Walking the Tzu Chi path in Taiwan”s Penghu islands, volunteers recently helped local resident, Mr. Hu. The senior, in his 70s, lived alone in a small house, with a leaking roof. The local village head asked NGOs to help restore his home. Tzu Chi volunteers paid the rent, and bought second-hand furniture, for a temporary place, where Mr. Hu is staying, until his home is fixed.
台灣澎湖，還有更多的志工行菩薩道，也幫助當地居民胡先生，澎湖馬公，七十多歲的胡先生，獨自居住的家簡陋、屋頂倒塌，村里幹事尋求慈善團體協助修繕，慈濟志工不但補助款項，更先送來床組床墊，讓暫時住在隔壁空屋的胡先生，等候搬家日子到來。
《 衲履足跡 》 On Actively Giving 談把握福緣
Human nature may be inherently good, yet greed and bottomless desire attract worries, and in the long run may lead to natural and manmade disasters.
Master Cheng Yen reminded all to nurture good thoughts, and make use of every opportunity in life to create blessings for others.
人之初、性本善，卻因心欲不斷擴大，而致煩惱叢生，引起戰爭人禍、引發種種天災。勉勵大家，起了一念好心，就要永久恆持，把握有限的人生時間造福。
5.★1213(慈濟)舊金山慈濟 Tzu Chi Liaison Office in San Francisco
The Tzu Chi Liaison Office in San Francisco was established on December 13, 1994. Now, 17 years later, the office, which used to be in North America”s oldest Chinatown, continues to do its part to help the needy.
慈濟舊金山聯絡處在1994年12月13日正式成立，17年過去，原本坐落在北美洲最老的一座中國城，舊金山慈濟分會仍然堅守崗位，為社區需要的人付出。
6.多倫多捐贈 Celebrating the holidays with love
Over the border in Toronto, Canada, the local Tzu Chi Academy responded to a recent appeal by a local food bank. As well as preparing supplies, they also donated Christmas presents. Teacher and students, from the school, as well as volunteers, picked out gifts for needy children, and personally delivered red envelopes to the adults.
來到加拿大多倫多，多倫多慈濟人文學校響應蔬食銀行捐贈活動，準備了許多食物，此外還有耶誕禮物，老師、學生以及慈濟志工特地抽空親自前往協助需要幫助的居民選禮物，還送上祝福的紅包。
