1.日第九團發放 Reaching out to Sendai
The world will never forget the earthquake and tsunami, that struck northeast Japan, more than nine months ago, leaving the country in a state of turmoil. Donations from around the globe poured into Japan. Tzu Chi”s ninth disaster relief team recently organized a cash distribution for 9,227 families in Sendai City, of Miyagi Prefecture. Some of the recipients said that the emotional value of the gift meant more than the money itself.
日本三一一大地震，九個多月過後在全球人心裡依舊印象深刻，日本人民重建之路十分艱辛，不過全球愛心豐沛的注入重災區，慈濟人賑災團九度前往東北，這一次來到宮城縣的仙台市，為9227戶受災居民，送上來自全球的見舞金，其實送來的金錢和物資都有限，最讓居民感動的還是背後那份愛心。
2.世紀泰水劫1教育 Students” education halted by floods
As well as love, survivors of the flooding in Thailand are discovering that they also need basic utilities, such as schools and hospitals, to keep their nation together. Many students have lost their school books and uniforms; while their parents have lost their jobs. So, is going back to school a mission impossible? Let”s find out, in our next story.
除了各界關愛，泰國水患災民需要的是一般建設的正常運作，像是教育與醫療服務，很多學生因為大水失去了文具、書本與制服，他們的父母因為沒有工作而沒有收入，所以復學似乎是個艱鉅的任務，下一則報導帶您來看看。
3.學的一百堂課捐血分離(二) Apheresis for blood donations
Yesterday, we gave you a basic introduction to blood donations. Today, we conclude our mini-series by introducing you to the apheresis technology, whereby a donor”s blood is separated, to collect just the plasma or the platelets, to minimize the impact on the subject.
昨天我們為您簡單介紹捐血的過程，今天我們的專題將解釋分離術捐血法，這樣可以採集血液中特定的成分，例如只採取血漿或是血小板，將可減少對捐增者的影響。
4.長濱人醫義診 Free clinic for Changbin residents
Eastern Taiwan TIMA members, as well as medical staff from Hualien, Yuli and Guanshan Tzu Chi Hospitals, recently came together to hold a free clinic in Changbin Township, of Taitung County. The services included orthopedics, surgery, family medicine, ophthalmology, Chinese medicine, and dental treatment.
