1.1212泰慈濟 work program in Bangkok
We start today”s show in Thailand. In areas where the floodwater has begun to recede, Tzu Chi is initiating a relief work program, to pay residents to restore their communities. In the village of in Hunsa, in Bangkok”s Nong Khaem County, the program has been in effect since December 5th. Residents say the initiative has helped return their community to normal, and put much-needed money into people”s pockets. Students and teachers from the Chiang Mai Tzu Chi School paid their own way, some even taking out loans, to travel the 14 hours, to Bangkok, to help with the clean up.
節目一開始來到泰國，在大水漸退的地區，慈濟志工啟動以工代賑，讓居民清潔家園，也擴大到社區的恢復。在曼谷農鑒縣涵灑村，從12月5日至今，展開以工代賑，居民說，慈濟來了以後，村子恢復了乾淨，也為大家帶來一份收入，除了志工們的到來，北部的清邁慈濟學校師生，搭乘14小時的巴士，利用假日動員協助清掃。
2.萬隆發大米 Rice distribution in Bandung
Tzu Chi volunteers in Indonesia went to the Bandung district, 100km southeast of Jakarta, to carry out rice distributions, in three poor villages, in the Ciparay area. Local police also helped out. The residents all agreed that, the 20kg bags of rice, came just in time.
印尼慈濟志工前往距離雅加達，100多公里遠的萬隆地區，在慈帕賴鎮，三個貧困的村莊發放大米，印尼警政署也一起協助發放活動，居民們都說，這20公斤的大米來的正是時候。
3.東勢打掃 Cleaning care recipient”s house
From Indonesia to Taiwan, where we meet Ms. Zhan詹 in our next story. After her husband and her son both died, the mother was left to care for her three daughters alone. Then, a traffic accident three years ago, crippled her for life. Tzu Chi recently bought Ms. Zhan an electrical wheelchair.
從印尼轉到台灣，台中東勢慈濟照顧戶詹女士，先生兒子相繼往生，她獨立照顧三個女兒，不過三年前的一場車禍，讓她左腳嚴重受傷，從此行動不變，慈濟不只照顧這一家人，也為詹女士帶來電動車。
《 靜思語 》
Virtuous deeds are the source of happiness; bad deeds breed suffering.
行善者得快樂，造惡者受苦難。
4.峇株巴轄公演 Show of strength
There are only 132 Tzu Chi people in Malaysia”s Batu Pahat. Yet, local volunteers somehow managed to put on a huge performance of the Buddhist classic: ”The Sutra of Innumerable Meanings”. They did it by recruiting actors and stage hands at local Tzu Chi events. In the end, a cast of 399 was assembled. Many others also worked behind the scenes, to make the show a great success.
馬來西亞峇株巴轄慈濟人只有132人，但是當地志工，以「清淨 大愛 無量義」公演正式登場，不論幕前幕後 一手包辦，最後讓演繹人數增加到399人，許多人也投入幕後準備工作，讓活動圓滿。
5.峇株巴轄花絮 Deaf performer Zhang Jingyun
Among the 399 performers, in the ”Innumerable Meanings” show in Batu Pahat, were Zhang Jingyun and her brother. Zhang, who is deaf, cannot hear the music that accompanies the stage show; but, with willpower and courage, she managed to stay in perfect time.
張靜雲和她的弟弟是馬來西亞，399位演繹無量義經的人員之一 張靜雲，有聽力障礙，無法聽到節拍，但她用心讓每個動作，都和所有人一樣整齊劃一。
《 衲履足跡 》談淨化人心 On Purifying the Heart
Intelligent as they are, humans are allowing themselves to harm the planet while pursuing pleasure and shortsighted gains.
Climate change is causing havoc throughout the world. It is therefore important to start purifying ourselves within, and changing our lifestyle for the sake of the earth.
人類有知識、聰明，而為了短暫的利益、享樂破壞地球，導致大地傷痕累累，自然氣候異變，災難頻傳；要讓人人懂得惜福，就要從淨化人心做起，從生活上做改變。
6.馬利僅那頒獎 Marikina City honors Tzu Chi
After Typhoon Ketsana hit the Philippines in 2009, Tzu Chi”s relief-work program in Marikina City, helped residents recover from the storm, and inspired them to start recycling with Tzu Chi. As the city celebrated its 15th anniversary, officials paid tribute to Tzu Chi, by giving volunteers an award.
2009的凱莎娜風災後，慈濟成功的以以工代賑，幫助市容恢復整潔，也啟發市民加入環保愛地球的行列，馬利僅那市政府慶祝成立十五周年，也同時感恩有助於市政發展的團體。

Moving over to China: Tzu Chi has been helping keep poor children to school, in Guangdong”s Heping County, for over ten years now. Recently, 61 college students, from Heping, were awarded scholarships for the new school year.
鏡頭轉到中國，慈濟在過去十年來幫助，許多廣東和平縣的學生持續上學，最近，來自偏遠山區的61位大學生，領取新學期的助學金。
8.緬甸老師訪視 Inspired to help
After Cyclone Nargis ravaged Myanmar in 2008, Tzu Chi volunteers began paying monthly visits to the Khaymayama Nunnery School. Today, they still hold Jing Si Aphorisms discussion groups, with the teachers and novice nuns -15 of whom recently went with the volunteers on a house-call visit.
2008年緬甸納吉斯風災，慈濟志工每個月都會前往，柯瑪雅娜寺廟學校，和任教的老師以及沙彌尼，分享靜思語，這次跟著志工家訪，了解清寒學生的生活。

The main dam is 180 meters in height and whole facility is some 2,300 meters in length and six stories tall.
2001 Rebuilding Qiaoguang Elementary
Qiaoguang Elementary(僑光) School in Taiwan”s Caotun (南投草屯)of Nantou County was severely damaged during the 9/21 earthquake of 1999.

More than a year later, on this day in 2001, the inauguration of the new school was held.
2003 Sinar Harapan dormitory
Located deep in Malaysia”s mountains, the Sinar Harapan dormitory in Kiulu was running out of funds to adequately care for its charges. Tzu Chi volunteers were notified of the situation by the local government and arrived at the dorm on this day in 2003 to conduct a survey. Besides supplying the school with food and stationery, volunteers also visit the dorm regularly to keep the students company.
1918年 威爾遜抵巴黎 協約國會議
美國總統威爾遜，1918年的這天抵達法國，參加巴黎和平會議，受到民眾熱情歡迎，由於美軍加入第一次世界大戰，使得英美法所領導的協約國獲勝，隨後於十一月簽署停戰協議，包括英國首相喬治、法國總理克裏孟梭，也共同出席會議。

10.花慈罕病往診 Medical outreach on east coast
On the relatively remote east coast of Taiwan, getting to the hospital isn”t always easy, especially for patients with chronic conditions, rare diseases, or disabilities. That”s why medical teams from Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital visit residents in isolated regions, to check up on their health. We caught up with a doctor, and a nutritionist, on a visit to a center for the disabled.
東部地區幅員廣大，有時候生了病要看個醫生，並不是那麼容易，尤其是慢性病患或罕見疾病的患者，行動不方便，為了減輕病患的負擔，花蓮慈濟醫院的醫師都會不定期的往診，我們跟著醫師和營養師，一起去看他們往診的情形。
11.十元素食便當 10 NTD veg lunchbox at Zhonghe
In Taipei, to buy a lunchbox for 10 NTD - about 33 US cents - is almost impossible. However, a restaurant in Zhonghe中和, of New Taipei City, is selling vegetarian lunches, every Monday, for only 10NT. The promotion was started two years ago, by restaurant owner Huang Xianxiang(黃獻祥), who is himself a Tzu Chi volunteer, and has been a vegetarian of more than six years.
