1.胡志明發放 Helping low-income families
We start today”s show in Vietnam, where Tzu Chi volunteers have been working with a local woman”s organization, to help low income families through monthly home visitations. After months of support, volunteers were happy to see life improving for the care recipients.
今天的節目首先來到越南，胡志明市的慈濟志工與當地婦女會一起到關懷戶家中進行每月一次慰問金發放和探視，在幾個月的關愛之下，看到關懷戶的狀況改善不少，讓志工們都相當開心與欣慰。
2.北緯38度(1) Needed, respectful, direct aid
Material and emotional support is even more urgently needed in North Korea, where its people suffered a string of natural disasters caused by cold weather, droughts, floods, and storms from 2010 to 2011, which led to a serious food shortage. On August 21, and again on October 2, volunteers flew to the country to assess local needs. Based on the results of the surveys, Master Cheng Yen decided to launch a major aid mission, which took place from November 11-13. The distributions delivered much-needed aid directly into the hands of North Korean villagers.
物資和心靈援助對北朝鮮來說更加重要，因為2010年到2011年，北朝鮮接連經歷嚴冬、乾旱、水災、颱風、糧食欠收嚴重短缺，慈濟人在八月二十一日和十月二日，兩次前往北朝鮮勘災，根據調查結果報告，證嚴上人以「無緣大慈 同體大悲」的悲懷，啟動了救援的機制，賑災團於十一月十三日到十七日，在當地進行發放，將物資發送給北朝鮮受災鄉親。
《 靜思語 》
Power is like a rope; it binds the body, the mind and the spirit.
權勢如繩索，捆綁身心，不得自在。
3.華語人文體驗 3,2,1 action!
Back in Taiwan, Tzu Chi University”s annual Chinese Language and Culture Camp, held for teenagers from overseas, has 145 attendants from Singapore and Malaysia this year. Recently, an excursion was organized to Hualien”s Da Ai TV station, where camp attendants learned more about news and TV program production. We join the young adults at Da Ai TV”s film studio.

4.南非志工交流 S African volunteers visit Hualien
Last week, Tzu Chi volunteers from across the world returned to Taiwan, to receive their commissioner and Tzu Cheng credentials. After the seminar, some volunteers stayed behind to learn more about Tzu Chi”s work in Taiwan. In the next story we stay in Hualien, where Zulu volunteers from South Africa visited the Tzu Chi Hospital, as well as the local prison, hoping to inspire more people to serve humanity with their music and life-stories.
上周，來自全球的慈濟志工，回到台灣受證委員與慈誠在營隊結束後，部份的志工留下來，想更進一步了解慈濟，接下來的故事，依然在花蓮，南非志工返花尋根，來到了花蓮慈濟醫院以及當地監獄，希望透過歌聲與故事，啟發更多人一起行善。
《 衲履足跡 》On Devotion 談堅定道心
Through conservation we can give the Earth a chance to breath, and the environment a chance to recover.
Instead calling for others to follow, we should lead by example. Everyone must reach out their hands for the world.
唯有保護環境，使大地養息是維護地球，撫平地球傷痛的最佳良方。不只呼籲，還必須身體力行，從自身推及周遭，人人伸出雙手，為保護大地而付出。
5.蘇州有機農場 Organic farming in Suzhou
Tzu Chi volunteers in Suzhou, China have embarked on a sustainable farming project, by creating the ”Tzu Chi Organic Ecological Farm” in the hills above the busy city near Shanghai. The budding farmers are employing modern-day technology and the latest scientific methods to work in harmony with nature. But when we joined them, they were using some low-tech but effective techniques to clear the ground of weeds and rocks.
蘇州慈濟志工也對糧食問題展開關懷，在上海市郊的陽山，闢劃「慈濟有機生態農場」，要把高科學的「和諧共生」農法，向廣大的農民朋友介紹，不過要介紹大家認識農場前，先看他們使用低科技的方式，清除農地上的雜草與小石子。
6.漢旺響應蔬食 Promoting vegetarianism in Hanwang
Staying in China, in Hanwang of Sichuan province, since October Tzu Chi volunteers have been giving seminars on environmentalism and vegetarianism. In the program, volunteers used video clips and short plays to help the local residents understand that meatless food is both healthy and easy to make.
也是中國的報導，從十月開始，在中國四川漢旺社區，慈濟志工展開一連串的研習會，透過短片及短劇，推廣素食與環保，讓當地居民了解吃素很健康也很容易。
7.環保善響應 Plastic bags for recycle
If you put your heart into doing something for the greater good, you”ll soon be joined by other people who are inspired to do the same. That was the case for Tzu Chi volunteers in Taiwan”s Tainan, who go to the Zhonzheng business district twice a week to collect unwanted plastic bags from shops. The recycling program has been so successful that all the shops are now taking part, doing what they can to look after the environment.
只要有心做好事，一定能夠吸引有心人加入，接下來的這則報導，印證了這樣的道理，台南慈濟人每星期兩次都會到中正商圈挨家挨戶將店家廢棄塑膠袋做回收，慈濟人這個回收動作，逐漸讓店家養成回收習慣，一同發心，守護環境。
