1.泉州鯉魚發放 503 families aided in Licheng

We start the show in China, where Tzu Chi continues its winter relief distributions to people in need. In Fujian”s Quanzhou City, some 4,300 families from Licheng, Fengze, and Luojiang received Tzu Chi”s aid packages. We now take you to the distribution for 503 families at Licheng.

Moving to Myanmar, Tzu Chi volunteers recently expanded their student aid program to include children from Thaketa District, located in the south of Yangon. More than half of the residents from the poor district are low-income earners and are finding it hard to pay for their children”s school fees. After a round of home visitations to 32 students in need, volunteers decided to award them with scholarships for the upcoming school term.

3.馬浪子張福發 Prodigal son Zhang Fufa

A hopeful future was something Malaysian gangster Zhang Fufa didn”t care for as he lived a lifestyle of organized crime, drinking and fighting. In 2007, his wife persuaded him to sign up for Tzu Chi volunteer training. Although he was unwilling at first, Zhang took the plunge, and much to his own surprise, the course completely changed him. By the following year, he was a commited vegetarian, who had made a new start in life.

4.茶道話慈濟 The fragrant taste of tea and culture

The Tzu Chi continuing education center program in Tainan, Taiwan. recently held an exhibition displaying the works of members of the advanced class of Tzu Chi”s Jing Si Tea Ceremony group. One member also put together a model of the Jing Si Hall in Hualien as a way to express the deep significance of Tzu Chi.
