1.1031宏都拉斯勘災Helping hungry flood victims

Tzu Chi volunteers in Honduras, recently reached the municipality of Marcovia, in Choluteca department. The area has been hard-hit by flooding. The local government has run of aid supplies, and thousands of households are low on food. Tzu Chi is planning a distribution on November 11th and 12th, to help residents through this difficult time.

慈濟志工在宏都拉斯勘災的行程,今天來到秋省的馬可比雅市,秋省是這次水災的重災區,馬可比雅市市政府雖然進行賑災,但如今公庫的預算用盡,現在有4,500戶人家面臨斷糧的危機,還好慈濟計畫在11月12和13日兩天進行糧食發放,幫助居民度過眼前難關。



2.1030瓜地瑪拉發放Distribution in Chiquimulilla

The other disaster assessment team to travel from the US to Central America went to Guatemala. On Sunday, representatives from over 2,000 families, from 21 villages traveled, to a warehouse in Chiquimulilla to pick up food supplies from Tzu Chi. Despite the huge number of people, the distribution went smoothly.

另外一個慈濟勘災團從美國,來到中美洲的瓜地馬拉,星期天來自21個村莊、2千多戶的居民,來到奇貴穆立亞的一處倉庫,參與慈濟的發放,儘管來領取物資的人很多,發放現場依然井然有序、動線順暢。



3.1031泰慈濟Tzu Chi”s aid continues

Turning ideals into action in Thailand, Tzu Chi volunteers continued to provide hot meals for flood victims sheltering in Bangkok”s Administration Center. The flood prevention barrier in front of the shelter was breached on Sunday. Since then, the water has risen, preventing smaller vehicles from entering the area. So volunteers asked a local bus company for help.

將理想化為行動,在泰國,慈濟志工持續為住在曼谷行政中心的災民送上熱食,上星期日,收容所附近的防洪屏障潰堤,使得行政中心前面道路淹水提高,一般小客車無法進入,為了持續提供食物給災民,慈濟志工請當地公車幫忙。



4.泰志工受訪Tzu Chi catches local media”s attention

Despite being limited in numbers, local Tzu Chi volunteers are helping people in the provinces of Thailand, get back on their feet. Their efforts moved reporters at a local TV station, who decided to interview the volunteers.

儘管人數不多,當地志工卻盡力協助泰國受災的災民恢復正常生活,這樣的付出獲得當地電視台肯定,決定訪問慈濟志工。



5.賴索托水懺Local volunteers learn Water Repentance

A group of local volunteers in Lesotho have been leading by example, and showing people how to change their habits by holding tea parties, and telling stories about the early days of Tzu Chi. Recently, the volunteers came together to practice the sign language movements for the Water Repentance sutra.

在南非的賴索托,有一群本地志工以身作則,一起在各社區部落透過舉辦茶會,說明竹筒歲月的來由,推廣慈濟的精神理念,最近志工們也一起練習水懺演繹的手語。



6.馬實業環保站New recycling center opens in Klang

Over in Malaysia, a new recycling station opened on Old Klang Road, in Klang. The large property in a busy part of town was donated to Tzu Chi by a local entrepreneur, who said, saving the planet came before making more money.

在馬來西亞巴生,一座新的環保站啟用了,在忙碌區塊裡的這片地,是由當地商人所捐給慈濟的,他說,救地球比賺錢更重要。



7.廈門文博會Cross-Strait Cultural Industries Fair

From Malaysia to China, where the 4th annual Cross-Strait Cultural Industries Fair kicked off in Xiamen on the weekend. Tzu Chi”s Jing Si Books and Cafe was a favorite among the many stalls in the Taiwanese section.

我們將鏡頭從馬來西亞轉到中國,第四屆海峽兩岸文化產業博覽會,在中國廈門於上周末正式揭幕,而台灣展區中的靜思書軒,是參與民眾最喜愛的展覽之一。
