1.泰色他吉發放
A half a year after the floods that ravaged Thailand, people”s lives are slowly returning to normal. However, the recovery has been harder for the underprivileged; and so Tzu Chi volunteers from Bangkok traveled to the community of Setthakit, where they delivered straw mates, blankets and rice to 1,800 families.

泰國去年淹大水 到現在半年了，災民生活漸漸恢復正常，但還有些低收入戶，無法從水災中重建生活，曼谷慈濟志工因此來到色他吉社區，帶來草蓆、毛毯、白米等物資，共發放1800戶。

2.約旦冬令發放
Staying on helping the underprevilileged, in Jordan, since 2005, Tzu Chi volunteers have been handing out supplies regularly to the needy. For this year”s winter relief distribution, volunteers handed out supplies to villagers in five different locations, helping a total of 440 families.

也是幫助困苦的家庭，來到約旦，從2005年開始，慈濟人定期帶來物資，關懷生活困苦的居民，今年冬令發放，慈濟志工分兩梯次共發放五個地方，總共幫助了440戶家庭。

3.庫菩提諾歲末+莫德斯度歲末
We now take you to Tzu Chi”s year-end blessing ceremonies in Modesto and Cupertino of California. Though only some 50 people attended the event in Modesto, some of them were real VIPs. And at the event in Cupertino, 108 performers came together to present the Water Repentance musical.

現在帶您前往慈濟在北加州，莫德斯度與庫菩提諾的歲末祝福活動，雖然莫德斯度的會場，只來了差不多50個人，但可是有些重要人物，而庫菩提諾的活動， 則是有108位菩薩演繹慈悲三昧水懺音樂劇。

《 靜思語 》
If everyone can be frugal and cherish blessings, poverty will not exist.

如果人人能節省、惜福，貧窮就不存在。

4.福鼎聚福緣李麗琴(三)
Li Liqin李麗琴 from Fuding City located in China”s Fujian Province now cherishes her blessings after she joined Tzu Chi. Liqin”s brother was injured in a typhoon which left him completely paralyzed. With nowhere to turn, it was Tzu Chi that finally helped Liqin and her brother Li Yongtuan李永團. In gratitude, Liqin decided to reciprocate by volunteering, which opened her up to a whole new world.

福建福鼎市的慈濟志工李麗琴，走入慈濟後，相當珍惜自己的福報，她的弟弟李永團，在風災中受傷全身癱瘓，遍尋無助，最後還好有慈濟人上門關懷協助姐弟倆，李麗琴感受深刻，帶著回饋的心念，加入志工行列，慢慢的在付出中，找到生命價值。

5.歡喜林首和

Here in Taiwan, the weather has been cold over the Chinese New Year holiday. But that didn”t stop elderly volunteer Lin Shouhe林首和 from going to her local environmental station in Kaohsiung as usual. The 85-year-old says she is better off volunteering than snoozing at home.

在台灣，農曆年間，天氣冷颼颼，高齡85歲的林首和阿嬤，不畏天寒，還是來到高雄靜思堂當志工做環保，她說，留在家無所事事，不如來做環保。

6.美髮義剪

It is customary to get a haircut for the New Year, and thus Tzu Chi”s New Year events usually include a barber service. Today we introduce you to a hair salon owner in Taichung”s Fengyuan District, who has been giving free haircuts for Tzu Chi for over 20 years.

過年的時候，大家習慣剪個新髮型，也因此慈濟過年時的活動，常常都有義剪的服務，今天為您介紹台中市豐原區，一家美髮店老闆，她參與慈濟義剪已經超過20年了。

7.台鐵志工

Some other people who were volunteering extra hard over the Chinese New Year break were the Taiwan Railway volunteers. The trains in Taiwan carry twice as many passengers than usual during the busy holiday period, so the station staff need extra hands to help. We went to Taichung Train Station to meet some of the 20 or more dedicated volunteers.

在台鐵台中站，過年期間，志工需求比往常增加許多，其中搭乘台鐵的乘客更是比平常多出兩成，正職員工得加派人力來協助，帶大家到台鐵台中站，看看前來幫忙的20多位志工。

8.印尼黎鳴鳳
60-year-old Li Mingfeng黎鳴鳳 from Indonesia is a ballroom dancer. But as well as teaching students at home, she used to enjoy dancing in nightclubs, where she quickly picked up the habit of heavy drinking. It all changed after she started watching the Da Ai TV channel. Now she dances to a different tune.

今年六十歲住在印尼的黎鳴鳳，是國標舞老師，不僅在家裡教課，她也會帶學生去夜店跳舞，結果養成了喝酒的嗜好，一次因為修理電視的因緣，她開始收看大愛台，生活因此改變了，現在，她舞出了不同的人生。

《 衲履足跡 》 Jan 30 On Education 談教育

Education is a construction project of hope, and teachers must be committed to their roles as architects of hope.

In a teacher”s mission as both a farmer of the land and an architect of hope, he or she should confidently nourish the world with the dew of love.

教育是希望工程，老師們都要發心立願，成為希望的工程師。不論是耕耘大地的農夫，或是希望工程的老師，都是身為老師的使命，要以信心、如露水之愛滋潤大地。

9.360大溪陀螺(1)

Spinning tops are one of the oldest toys in the world. In 1968, a man from Taoyuan”s Daxi Town, in Taiwan, enlarged the toy - which could be held with one hand- into a bigger one that weighed 3kg. It took him three days to finally spin his new creation. Since then, interested craftsmen experimented with bigger and heavier tops, with the heftiest coming in at 74 kilograms. A spintop club was also created in Daxi, which toured around Taiwan to give performances. In the next story, we find out the new challenges faced by the once popular sport.

陀螺是最古老的玩具之一，1968年，桃園縣大溪鎮有位年輕人突發奇想，設計了個3公斤的陀螺，花了三天才抓到訣竅，從此開始，大型陀螺終於問世，最重來到74公斤，「陀螺俱樂部」也應運而生，全台各地巡迴演出，接下來的報導，帶您了解陀螺文化，為何越來越落寞。

10.360大溪陀螺(2)
In the last story, we learned that top-spinning is slowly losing its public appeal. However, also in Daxi Town, one school is working hard to preserve the traditional game, by teaching students how to become tip-top top-spinners. But what the students spin are more than just conventional models. Here is more.

上一則報導，我們發現民眾對陀螺的熱情越來越少，不過大溪鎮上一座小學，卻努力保存陀螺的文化，栽培學生成為技術精湛的陀螺高手，不過他們打的陀螺 ，不只有傳統的陀螺，帶您一起來看看。

(END)：北慈新春團拜

It is customary to visit your friends and family, and say nice things to each other, during the Chinese New Year celebrations. At the end of today”s program, we go to Taipei”s Tzu Chi Hospital, where superintendent, Dr. Zhao Youcheng趙有誠, led his staff in wishing everyone a prosperous new beginning as they started work on Thursday.
