1.1109泰慈濟Tzu Chi makes its presence felt
At the Thai government”s administrative center in the Laksi district of Bangkok, which has been turned into a temporary shelter for flood victims, Tzu Chi volunteers continue to do their best to support those affected by the country”s worst flooding in 50 years. Their unselfish giving has inspired an increasing number of residents at the shelter to donate their time to help with cooking and cleaning. Volunteers are also preparing to help people in a nearby community, who are facing a serious lack of food and water.
在泰國曼谷行政中心，臨時收容所裡，慈濟志工持續關懷水患災民，他們深受50年來最大洪澇，志工無私的付出，牽引了越來越多的鄉親，加入煮熱食的行列，更主動環境整潔，除此之外，志工正準備幫忙，鄰近一個缺水缺食的社區。
2.辛巴威慈濟Tzu Chi began in 2008
In the politically and economically unstable country of Zimbabwe, life for most of the population is difficult. Even with money, locals won”t necessarily find food to buy. Four volunteers began carrying out Tzu Chi”s work in 2008, and since then, have held over 50 distributions, and inspired over 70 locals to contribute.
在政治和經濟非常動盪的辛巴威，大部分的人民生活都很困苦，有時候就算有錢也買不到食物，但是在這裡從2008年開始，卻有四名慈濟志工在默默付出，三年舉辦超過五十場次的發放，帶動超過70位當地志工。
3.撥雲見(建)日Home comforts in prefab community
In our continuing series of reports from northeast Japan, we investigate what life is like for old people, who are living in prefabricated homes. Japan has the most serious population-aging problem in Asia. The situation is even more in the countryside. Previous experience shows that the elderly suffer from depression and ill-health in the aftermath of earthquakes, so this time around, the Japanese government is trying even harder to keep its seniors happy and health.
今天持續日本東北的報導，帶大家認識過居住在組合屋，長者的生活情形，日本是全亞洲人口老化最嚴重的國家，在偏遠地區更是嚴重老化，過去大地震過後，都有獨居的老人家因為孤單憂鬱而死亡，為了避免悲劇重演，日本政府特別針對老人家的生活做規劃，讓老人家的生活快樂又健康。
4.撲滿有大愛Children”s goodness inspired
Taichung”s Xinshe(新社) Elementary School was rebuilt by Tzu Chi, after Taiwan”s 921 earthquake of 1999. In the years after the quake, the school has kept up its weekly Jing Si aphorism classes, and in turn inspired goodness in the hearts of the students. For example, second-grader Xu Lengya徐稜雅 decided to save her pocket money for those in need after participating in World Vision”s 30 hour famine program.
台中新社國小，是慈濟希望工程學校之一，是慈濟在1999年九二一地震後，協助學校重建的工程，這些年來學校固定每周進行靜思語教學一次，長期下來，也啟發了學生的善念，一位就讀二年級的徐稜雅，在參加世界展望會舉辦的飢餓三十後，就決定把零用錢省下來，幫助國外需要幫助的貧童。
5.馬幼教水懺Teaching children Water Repentance
Moving to Malaysia, the Da Ai Educare center in Malacca has been instructing students on the Water Repentance Sutra since July of this year. In addition to discussion groups on the meaning of the sutra, teachers also guide the students through the movements of the musical. After four months of practice, the students can now recite sections of the sutra flawlessly, and have also learned on how to reflect on their actions.
鏡頭轉到馬來西亞，馬六甲大愛兒童教育中心，從今年七月開始推動水懺，除了以白話解釋水懺經文，導讀水懺，並進行密集的手語及妙音練習，經過大約四個月的時間，小朋友們已經對經文朗朗上口，也紛紛懂得反省懺悔剔習氣。
6.路邊董事長(4)楊文得Lessons in a wheel pie
For many people, making a career change in midlife requires more than just courage, but also the ability to view life in a more philosophical way. In our next story, we meet Tzu Chi volunteer Yang Wende, who, due to unexpected reasons, left his job at a bank, and started selling wheel pies. The experience that not only gave him an insight into life, but also offered him the perfect opportunity to introduce Tzu Chi to his customers.
中年轉業大不易，不但需要勇氣，也需要一個淡薄的心，下一則報導，帶您認識慈濟志工楊文得，原本在銀行任職，因故離開，門外漢學做紅豆餅，這個工作經驗不但讓他體悟清安自在的歡喜，他更把握因緣，將紅豆餅攤當成人間菩薩大招生的方便道場。
7.北慈志工陳黃金色90-year-old hospital volunteer
Someone who learned to do the right thing a long time ago is 90-year-old Mrs. Chen Huang Jinse(陳黃金色) who was among the first generation of volunteers at Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital, and still regularly serves at the hospital today. The wise and kindly old lady is known affectionately to everyone as ”Sister Miaomiao(妙妙)”.
有人在很久以前，就知道要做好事，就是90歲的陳黃金色，他在臺北慈濟醫院擔任志工多年，是第一代志工，如今還在服務，這位有智慧又有慈悲心的女士，就是受到妙妙師姊的影響。
