1.菲勘災第二天Follow up on Washi survey
In the Philippines, Tzu Chi volunteers from Manila, Cebu and Zamboanga arrived in Mindanao”s Iligan City, which was pummeled by the recent Typhoon Washi. Besides providing the Buddhist NGO with a distribution venue, the city”s vice mayor also accompanied the eight-men survey team into the disaster areas. Sadly, the massive destruction seemed to be the result of excessive logging.
在菲律賓，來自馬尼拉、宿務，及三寶顏的慈濟志工，來到輕颱瓦西重創民答那峨島上的依里甘市，市府方面除了將提供一處場地給慈濟發放外，副市長也在陪同慈濟的八人勘災小組前進災區，可惜的是災情慘重的原因之一，是濫伐樹木所造成的。
2.桃園獨居清掃MAIN:TaiwanHelping senior living in solitude
We”ll have more on Tzu Chi”s aid efforts in the Philippines, in the next few days. Over to Taoyuan, Taiwan, Mr. Jiang is an 81-year-old war veteran, who lives alone. Unable to take care of himself, the senior”s house became messy and unpleasant. With New Years just around the corner, volunteers came to help the elderly man clean up and get him ready for the year ahead.
未來幾天，還會帶大家看看慈濟在菲律賓的救災行動，接下來，轉到台灣桃園，有一位高齡81歲的榮民伯伯，蔣伯伯，他一個人獨居，無力顧及居家環境，因此生活環境十分髒亂，志工特別前來幫忙打掃，讓老人家準備好過個新年。
3.星助學發放Scholarship aid for Singapore”s students
At the recent 2012 Singapore Tzu Chi New Shoots Scholarship Award Ceremony, 3000 students received transportation and meal vouchers, courtesy of Tzu Chi. The NGO”s work has not only moved countless school principal and teachers, but its influence has also been felt by the schools” other staff. Recently, three cleaning staff joined as Tzu Chi”s donating members, to help with the Foundation”s future programs.
2012新加坡新亞助學金頒發典禮，幫助了全島三千位學生，給予他們交通補助以及餐卷，不止得到校長與老師的認同，其他職工也將慈濟的愛心看在眼裡，日前三位學校的清潔工決定要成為慈濟會員，願意每月捐錢來行善。
4.星助學花絮Transportation snags before scholarship awards
Before the 2012 Tzu Chi scholarship ceremony, Singapore”s mass transit system, SMRT, had two major accidents. Some of the lines had to be closed down for evaluation on the day of the ceremony. Before that, in view of upcoming transportation bottlenecks, volunteers decided to move the ceremony back 30 min in order to allow students and their parent enough time to get to the venue.
新加坡地鐵，在助學金發放典禮前，發生兩次嚴重的癱瘓事故，因此新加坡地鐵決定在助學金發放典禮之前，緊急關閉兩條主要幹線軌道，作全面地毯式的檢查，這臨時的緊急事故，考驗著慈濟志工的默契與智慧，決定延遲半個小時才開始典禮，讓學生和家長能有充裕時間來參與。
5.有機營養午餐Organic greens for school lunches
In an effort to improve the nutrition of school lunches, the New Taipei City government launched an ”Organic Vegetables for Lunch” campaign, whereby farmers are subsidized to grow and supply organic vegetables for nearby schools once a week. So far, 14 schools in New Taipei City are benefiting from the scheme. Students not only eat healthy, but also become more aware of how organic farming is less harmful for the environment.
為了讓學童的午餐更營養，新北市政府開辦安心蔬菜，補助在地農民耕作有機蔬菜，將有機蔬菜提供給附近的國中小當作營養午餐，一周一次有機蔬菜新鮮直送，目前在新北市已經有14所學校開始實施，讓小朋友吃得安心，也將種植有機愛護地球的觀念深植在小朋友們的心中。
6.有機耕作護家園Balancing nature
Su Xingli (蘇興李), the organic farmer we met in the last report, supplies vegetables to four elementary schools in the Sanxia area of New Taipei City. Su used to be in the construction industry, before he changed his career to farming, some 16 years ago. Clueless about organic farming in the beginning, Su”s crops failed several times. Even today, although his farming business just breaks even, Su says at least his organic greens bring people wholesome goodness. The happy farmer has also created an educational farm for more people to get in touch with nature.
上一則報導中的有機農場主人－蘇興李，提供新北市三峽地區，總共有4間小學，新鮮的有機蔬菜，蘇興李原本在台北從事營造業，16年前他開始耕作有機蔬菜，一開始一竅不通，完全沒有收成，直到今天，他說農場依舊沒有賺錢，但他的菜帶給他人健康快樂，還開辦教育農場，希望推廣給更多人認識我們的大地。
7.菩提種子心(2)林聖翔Former Tzu Ching makes good
