1.菲馬拉汶大米Early Christmas presents
Christmas is widely celebrated around the world, but for many low-income families, there is little cash to spare for the festival. Luckily, for the needy households in the Philippines, Tzu Chi is once again distributing rice from Taiwan. Recently, in Malabon City, 1,007 families each received a 20-kilo bag of rice as an early Christmas present .
耶誕節是一年一度的大節慶，不過對於許多低收入家庭來說，卻沒有多餘的錢可以慶祝節慶，幸好菲律賓的貧困居民，慈濟再次發放來自台灣的大米，最近在馬拉汶市，1007戶人家各個收到二十公斤的白米，提早收到了聖誕節禮物。
2.列治文耶誕 Bringing festivity to nursing homes
Christmas spirit is also in the air in Richmond, Canada, where Tzu Chi volunteers have built a strong friendship over the years with the elderly residents of Fraserview Nursing Home. Volunteers prepare gifts for the seniors there every Christmas, and this year, the goodies include pillows made by young volunteers.
耶誕節氣氛也可以在加拿大列治文感受到，慈濟人因長期陪伴當地的菲沙老人院，與老人家建立了深厚的友誼，志工們每年都有準備禮物，而今年慈青也投入，幫忙製作枕頭。
3.慈大獲獎 Say No to drugs
The Taiwanese films ”Rebellious Son” and ”Breaking the Waves”, were produced by the Ministry of Justice in partnership with the Tzu Chi Foundation. Based on the real-life struggles of former drug addicts, the movies have been part of a national anti-drug campaign, since November of 2009. Recently, Tzu Chi University and the Tzu Chi Teachers Association were also recognized for promoting the anti-drug campaign.
”破浪而出”及”逆子”，是由台灣法務部與慈濟基金會合作，真人真事的的反毒宣導影片，2009年11月就開始加入反毒的宣導，慈濟大學與慈濟教聯會，落實防制反毒也受到肯定。
《 靜思語 》
Those who do good deeds make others grateful; those who commit bad acts create vexation for others.
為善者，讓人感恩；為惡者，令人煩惱。
4.這兒的星星最亮(2)獅泉河望遠鏡 Perfect place for star gazing
Astrologers are always trying to see deeper and further into space, to uncover the secrets of the universe. Besides a powerful telescope, they also need good weather conditions to clearly see the stars. That”s why a team of Taiwanese scientists has built an observatory on the Tibetan plateau. The clean air, cloudless sky, and minimal light pollution from human settlements, make the area ideal for observations.
天文學家永遠都在追求，看得更深、望得更遠來探索宇宙的奧妙，除了天文望遠鏡的口徑越做越大外，也不斷的尋找觀星條件更好的地方，因此，台灣團隊長途跋涉來到西藏高原，設立天文台，清澈的天空，無雲層的上空，也沒有光害，成了設置天文台最佳的地點。
5.蘇州農場油菜 New organic farm in Suzhou
Eating organic vegetables is good for your health and the environment, which is why Tzu Chi volunteers in Suzhou, in China”s Jiangsu province, are cultivating a piece of farmland in Yangshan(陽山) that is entirely dedicated to growing chemical- and pesticide-free vegetables. Volunteers from Xiamen, with experience in organic farming, came especially to lend a hand; and local farmers also volunteered to share some very useful tips.
選擇有機食物，對身體好，對環境也好，這也是為什麼慈濟在江蘇蘇州的陽山，整出一片農地，實行有機農法，不用化肥或是除蟲劑，不僅有廈門的志工帶來經驗來幫忙，還有附近農民義務當起老師，指導志工怎麼做農活。
6.大愛媽學素食 Da Ai mothers cook away
A greener lifestyle isn”t complete without a plant-based diet. A team of Da Ai Mothers in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, recently took up a vegetarian cookery class to improve on their cooking skills. Lessons like this help give Da Ai mothers more ideas on how to prepare healthy meals for their children.
低碳生活，多吃蔬菜準沒錯，台灣高雄的大愛媽媽，跟著慈濟志工學做素食，要把健康素食帶回家，跟孩子一起分享。
《 衲履足跡 》談惜福 On Cherishing Blessings
Wherever in the world Tzu Chi volunteers serve, they always advertise that the Buddhist charity and the humanistic values it represents are from Taiwan to build good karma for the country. Taiwanese people should cherish such blessings.
海外慈濟人無論是就地付出，或是跨國賑濟，皆以「台灣佛教慈濟」為名，對受助者申明慈濟及其精神理念來自台灣，將功德回向台灣，大家要珍惜身在台灣的福。
7.馬水懺排練 Geared up for Water Repentance

8.印尼三合一 Media volunteer training on Batam
Da Ai TV is able to broadcast Tzu Chi”s work around the world thanks to media volunteers who help capture the truth, goodness, and beauty of Tzu Chi activities. On Batam Island, Indonesia, there are only five media volunteers. To recruit new blood, volunteers held a training seminar, with the help of Indonesia”s Da Ai TV.
大愛新聞能有來自世界各地的新聞畫面，是因為各地的真善美志工，為慈濟留下歷史，印尼巴淡島雖然真善美志工僅僅五位，為了招募更多人才，印尼大愛台的同仁協助舉辦研習培訓。

10.矯正牽引法 Helping accident victim
A resident of Taichung, Taiwan, 56 year old Lin Xianglan(林香蘭) was involved in a road accident in October of last year, which severely dislocated and fractured her jaw. Eating, breathing and speaking became extremely difficult. Surgery was recommended, but since there was a chance that it could affect her facial nerves, Xianglan decided to go to Taichung Tzu Chi Hospital instead, where doctors used traction therapy to get her jaw, and surrounding muscles, back in line.
台灣台中有位五十六歲婦人林香蘭，去年十月發生車禍，兩側顳顎關節脫臼骨折，整個牙床異位無法正常咬合，吃東西、呼吸或是說話都有困難，很多醫院建議他開刀治療，但是手術風險高，可能損傷顏面神經，最後林女士決定到台中慈濟醫院，醫療團隊創新用矯正牽引做法，替她找回健康。
