1.1225菲慈濟 Post Washi relief progress

Typhoon Washi caused devastation on the Philippines” Mindanao Island. On December 22nd, Tzu Chi held the first of two relief distribution in Cagayan de Oro City, benefitting 811 families. On the 28th, large scale distributions are planned for Cagayan de Oro and Iligan, which will help a total of 9,000 families. As the relief register is still being compiled, on Monday, volunteers already began handing out distribution vouchers to let residents know that Tzu Chi is coming.

瓦西颱風重創菲律賓南部的民答那峨島，慈濟人22號在卡加延德奧羅市，進行首波兩場發放，為811戶家庭送來即時生活物資，預計在28號起要在卡加延德奧羅市和伊里甘市展開大型發放，一共幫助九千戶人家，目前菲律賓分會正在整理發放名冊，而星期一，志工已經開始讓受災居民知道慈濟將送上一些溫暖。


2.賴索托發放 Bringing Christmas presents

In Lesotho, the landlocked country inside South Africa, Tzu Chi volunteers regularly provide relief supplies to 31 families. For Christmas, volunteers prepared extra items, such as rice, sugar, salt, juice, lollies and biscuits, so that the residents could also enjoy the festive celebration.

在賴索托，位於南非國內的國家，慈濟志工定期為31個照顧戶家庭送來糧食物資補給，隨著耶誕節的到來，志工們還多準備了米、糖、鹽、果汁和糖果餅乾，希望生活不好過的家庭，也能夠歡喜過耶誕、過好年。


《 靜思語 》

To have a pure heart, we need to protect both our inner and outer environment. Cherish the resources on our planet and take good care of the resources in our own life.

心要清淨，做好內外環保──愛惜地球資源，照顧人生資源。


3.蘇州歲末祝福 Year-end in Suzhou

We now take you to Suzhou, China where the local Tzu Chi office held four year-end blessing ceremonies at the Suzhou Jing Si Books and Cafe. Dharma Masters from Hualien”s Jing Si Abode joined the celebrations by leading everyone in reflecting on this year and preparing for the New Year ahead.

現在，帶您來到中國蘇州，慈濟在靜思書院舉辦了四場歲末祝福，在靜思精舍常駐法師帶領下，大家一起回顧反省過去這一年，並一起迎接新的一年的到來。


4.蘇州計永剛 Prosthesis patient & Tzu Chi

As we just saw in our last report, Tzu Chi care recipient Ji Yonggang (計永剛) was one of the participants at Tzu Chi”s year-end blessing ceremonies in Suzhou, China. Although only 16, following a malignant tumor, Ji Yonggong had his left leg amputated up to the hip. Recently fitted with a prosthetic leg, Yonggang joined volunteers at the ceremony as a way to show his gratitude for the care and encouragement they gave him while he was in the hospital.

剛剛的報導中，計永剛是蘇州的歲末祝福現場，其中一位慈濟的照顧戶，一位才十六歲的大男孩 計永剛，因為惡性腫瘤，左腿從髖骨以下完全截肢，才裝上新的義肢，還在磨合適應的階段，卻願意來參加歲末祝福，是因為手術住院期間，志工的關心問候，鼓勵他勇敢面對。


5.福州歲末 Three”s not a crowd

Staying in China, at Tzu Chi”s year end blessing ceremony in Fuzhou, Fujian Province, Tzu Chi volunteer Lin Bi (林碧) had a story of loss and happiness to share. Lin Bi lost her beloved husband to a brain hemorrhage in July of this year, which stripped her of her faith in life. Lin”s friends in Tzu Chi offered her constant support, and their company reassured her that there is still plenty of love to be treasured in life. She regained the strength to go on, and now takes great delight in volunteering with her son and her daughter-in-law.

中國福建的福州市，歲末祝福中，有位志工林碧，分享自己家庭，感受到的幸福，林碧的先生，今年7月腦血管瘤破裂往生，她終日以淚洗面，慈濟法親一路陪伴，林碧發現還有好多疼愛自己的家人，於是勇敢走出傷痛，跟著兒子、媳婦，一家三口法喜付出。

《 衲履足跡 》On Education 談教育

Education provides the knowledge and skills to train talented people in all professions. However, if education is elitist, children will become selfish and self-serving.
The school system should nurture society”s outstanding individuals to put their knowledge to good use for the benefit of society.

教育傳授知識、技術，即是要為各行各業培訓人才；但若是教育偏差，只會讓孩子徒具知識與聰明，愈益自私自利。教育是為社會培育菁英，發揮所長，才是社會之福。


6.全球慈青日圓緣 2011 Int”l Tzu Ching Officer Camp

The Tzu Ching youth volunteer program is in its 20th year. In Hualien, Taiwan, the two-day 2011 International Tzu Ching Officer Camp came to a succession conclusion on Sunday. Having enriched themselves in the Tzu Chi spirit, the some 1,300 Tzu Chi Collegiate Youths from 12 countries returned home to carry on their good work.

8.菩提種子(5)王東安 Tzu Ching for life

When Wang Dongan was a lonely PhD student in the United States, Tzu Ching helped bring him out of the school laboratory and into society. Back in Taiwan, he started teaching at Chung Hsing University, where for the last six years, he has helped run the college Tzu Ching club. The professor says, he learns more from volunteering than he can teach his students.

王東安在美國念博士班，因為慈濟，幫助他走出實驗室與社會接觸，回到台灣後，在中興大學任教，六年來，在學校帶著領慈青同學，教授說，做志工比教學 學習到更多。

10.感恩環保耶誕 A green Christmas

Although there was no white Christmas in Taiwan, the arrival of a cold front made the weather chilly even without the snow.

雖然台灣的耶誕節，看不到白雪，卻遇上了寒流，外頭的寒風刺骨，不過還是影響不了過節的興致，在桃園，大愛感恩科技以一場別開生面的環保衣走秀，以及由上百支寶特瓶製成應景的銀白耶誕樹，聚集了相當多的人潮。
