1.泰以工代賑 Tzu Chi relief work program kicks off

Having battled floodwaters for more than three months, Thailand can now finally start rebuilding as the inundated areas dry up one by one. A bigger challenge lies, however, in the removal of the waterlogged waste items that are found everywhere. To help local residents restore their homes while earning cash at the same time, Tzu Chi launched a relief work program, whereby participants are each paid 300 Thai Bahts a day, to sweep up their neighborhoods. We join volunteers in Bangkok, as they rally flood victims, to help each other out.

泰國與世紀水患抗衡3個月,水終於一區區的消退了,但後續打掃工作,移除阻塞的垃圾等問題,真的很讓人傷腦筋,為了讓受災居民,可以早日恢復家園、生活費也有著落,慈濟啟動以工代賑,居民清掃自己的家,以及鄰近社區一天工資三百元泰銖,帶您去曼谷,看看志工如何動員水患災民,互相幫忙。


2.菲以工代賑 Origins of relief work program

Tzu Chi”s relief work program was a success in the Philippines, after Typhoon Ketsana battered the country in 2009. With wide spread damage that affected some 4 million people in Metro Manila alone, Tzu Chi sprang into action by carrying out a relief work program that paid residents to clean up their own neighborhoods. Much was accomplished in just 18 days, but to get there, volunteers had some hills to climb.

慈濟以工代賑,在菲律賓立下成功的範例,在2009年,菲律賓凱莎娜風災,當時大馬尼拉災情慘重,400萬人受災,慈濟人即啟動以工代賑,讓居民清掃自己的家園,短短18天完成了不可能的任務,不過一開始,推動也是困難重重。


3.菲耶誕白米 Early Christmas presents

Staying in the Philippines, Christmas arrived early for over 1,700 poor families in Paranaque City when Tzu Chi delivered 20kg bags of rice to the needy families. Let”s find out more.

持續留在菲律賓,對菲律賓巴蘭玉計市的1724戶家庭,聖誕節提早到來了,因為慈濟為每戶人家送上20公斤大米,讓我們一起來看看。


《 靜思語 》

Collective goodness is great goodness. Only with the strength of great goodness can there be peace and prosperity.

結合人人的善,是真正的大善;有大善的力量,才能風調雨順人人平安。


4.美花車前置 ”One More Day” in Rose Parade

The 123rd Rose Parade, in the US city of Pasadena, takes place on January 2nd. Tzu Chi volunteers are again working together with the organ donation NGO ”Donate Life”, to make a float for the parade. We join the hard-working volunteers, who are busy getting ready for the big day.

5.死刑捐腎 Inmate donates kidney to sister

Sharing the gift of life-- in Taiwan, death-row inmate, Zheng Jinwen(鄭金文) gave one of his kidneys to his sister last month. It was the first case in the country in which a death row prisoner made an organ donation. Zheng Jinwen was allowed to meet with his sister after the transplant, in what was a happy and emotional reunion.

分享寶貴的生命,給予重生的機會,在台灣死刑犯鄭金文,決定將腎臟捐給姊姊,在上個月完成器官移植手術,創下全台死囚活體捐贈的首例,台北看守所特別安排鄭金文,跟他的姊姊許素琴會面,姊弟相見,喜極而泣,場面感人。


6.大愛送看守所 Da Ai Dramas transform inmates

Da Ai TV”s own drama series are based on the struggles and triumphs of real people, inspiring audiences to change their own lives for the better. At the Nantou Detention Center, in Taiwan, the behavior of the inmates has improved, since they started watching DVDs of the show. Recently, Tzu Chi volunteers visited with the latest series, and even invited a star of one of the shows to come and cheer up the inmates.

大愛劇場都是挑戰人生的真人真事,所改編的電視劇,這些動人的故事往往激發觀眾,繼續努力改變挑戰自己,在台灣南投看守所,因為讓收容人觀看大愛劇場,而有了潛移默化的作用,最近慈濟人再度帶著,最新的大愛劇場,甚至還邀請其中一片的主角,來到看守所鼓勵收容人。


《 衲履足跡 》談心靈清泉 On A Spiritual Pure Spring

Tzu Chi culture is a spiritual pure spring, that not only flows when there is water in the river, but is a genuine pure foundation, welling up endlessly from the ground.
The superior quality of programs on Da Ai TV continually wash the pure spring into people”s minds, cleansing their hearts, and naturally winning public support.

慈濟人文是心靈的清泉,不只有溪水流入時才有水,而要真正湧出清泉,源源不絕;大愛台節目品質優良,將清泉不斷注入人心、淨化人心,自然能得到大家的護持。


7.柬埔寨歲末 1st year-end blessing ceremony

In Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, as soon as Tzu Chi volunteers finished their first large-scale distribution, they held their first year-end blessing ceremony. Some 140 people participated, among which 29 decided to put on the grey volunteer uniform.

在柬埔寨首都金邊的第一場,大型慈濟發放結束後,當天晚上,慈濟人就舉辦第一次的歲末祝福晚會,吸引140多位人士參與,其中29位受證成為灰衣志工。


8.泰大使訪內湖 TTEO director at Neihu station

He is about to be posted to Beijing, as the new Thai ambassador to China. Before leaving, he wanted to thank Tzu Chi personally for its Thai flood relief efforts, and also learn more about Tzu Chi”s environmental mission.

9.上海論壇靜思 Tzu Chi spirit at business forum
