1.杉林校舍移交Opening of a new Da Ai school



Three elementary schools in Taiwan”s Kaohsiung area were buried underneath mudslides, brought down by Typhoon Morakot, in 2009. After seven months of work, one of them, Minzu Elementary School, celebrated its reopening, at its new location, in Shanlin Da Ai Village. The ceremony was attended by government leaders, members of the community, and Tzu Chi volunteers.



莫拉克風災中，高雄市有三所國小遭到土石流掩埋，其中經歷七個月的修建，高雄慈濟杉林大愛園區民族大愛小學新校舍，舉行了落成移交，包含公部門以及園區鄉親，大家都非常祝福。







2.杉林人文校舍New Minzu Elementary



After Typhoon Morakot left a trail of destruction through southern Taiwan in 2009, Tzu Chi began a series of relief programs, to help the victims of landslides and flooding. Construction projects included permanent housing communities, to help residents relocate to lower ground. As we just saw, in Shanlin Da Ai village, Tzu Chi held a ceremony, to hand over the newly rebuilt Minzu Elementary School, to the community. Though classes haven”t started yet, the children are already all looking forward, to the next semester.



2009年莫拉克風災，重創南台灣，慈濟展開一連串的救災工作，協助災民重建家園，重建工程包括了建蓋永久屋，協助居民遷移至平地，如今，在杉林大愛村，慈濟在民族國小舉辦新校舍移交典禮，雖然學校還沒開學，但學生們已經期待開學的日子。







3.大林藥師節Use drugs correctly



Taiwan celebrates National Pharmacist Day on January 15th, every year. At the Dalin Tzu Chi Hospital, superintendent Jian Shouxin(簡守信) personally gives each chemist a present, to thank them for their hard work. This year, the pharmacists put together some songs and skits, to help educate the patients, and their relatives, on the right way to use medication.



台灣1月15號是藥師節，大林慈濟醫院簡守信院長，到了藥庫，分發志工背心給藥師們，親自感恩他們的辛勞，今年藥師們透過戲劇演出，還設計帶動唱，向病患家屬衛教，讓民眾記住用藥重點。







4.皖起慈濟情(一)固鎮王璐Tzu Chi and Wang Lu



In China”s Anhui province, grade-A student, Wang Lu has been taking care of her bedridden mother, for the past ten years. The community comes together, to help the loving daughter; but when Tzu Chi came to help, knowing that the foundation”s money comes from donations, she refused to accept financial aid.



安徽省固鎮，就讀固鎮二中的王璐，成績總是名列前茅，十年來，照顧著癱瘓在床的母親，許多善心人士看到女兒的孝行，提供了幫助，慈濟也前來幫助這對母女，當她們知道慈濟善款來自竹筒歲月精神，因而婉拒了慈濟的補助。







5.菩薩林立膚病苦(4)Hospital patients in good hands



Tzu Chi volunteer Li Meiying from south Taiwan, missed out on a full education in childhood, but she is blooming at Dalin Hospital. She may struggle to fill out some of the forms, but she is gifted in other areas. Let”s find out why, Li Meiying, is one of the most popular volunteers, at Dalin Tzu Chi Hospital.



住在南台灣的慈濟志工李美英，小時候錯過讀書的機會，但是卻在大林慈院萌芽，她努力填寫報名表，不過，她卻還有另一項技能，讓我們來看看為什麼，她是大林慈院其中一個飽受歡迎的志工。







6.一念之間(二)汪定夏It”s all a state of mind



Wang Dingxia is a Tzu Chi care recipient, turned volunteer, from Changhua. When his wife developed a brain tumor, and his investments failed, it was Tzu Chi volunteers who helped him through the tough time. His wife”s dying wish was to be a volunteer, so Wang realized her dream, by becoming one for her.



彰化有位慈濟照顧戶汪定夏，十多年前妻子罹患腦瘤，加上投資失利，頓失家庭經濟來源，慈濟適合給予援助，病榻中的妻子，一心想穿上藍天白雲當志工，終不敵病魔無法如願，汪定夏於是承擔起起妻子的遺願。







7.３60龜印(一)The turtle cake mold makers



In Taiwan, red turtle cakes are a common festival offering, because turtles represent longevity and red, good fortune. The cakes, which are shaped like a turtle”s shell, are made with mold, called a guiyin龜印. Today, most molds are made of plastic. But, in our next story we introduce you to one of the few remaining carpenters, who carves turtle cake molds, from wood.



在台灣，過年過節、廟會活動，紅龜粿經常是供佛、拜祖先的吉祥禮，因為烏龜代表長壽，而紅色象徵福氣，當然這也比用真的烏龜來拜拜更為人道，紅龜粿上的紋路是為了更像真的烏龜，是在製造過程中蓋上龜印而成，以前是由木雕師傅所製作的，不像現在到處可見的塑膠龜印，今天要為您介紹一位還在雕刻龜印的師傅。







8.360龜印(二)Each mold tells a unique story



In our last report, we saw master carpenter Zheng Yongbin鄭永斌. As well as making turtle cake molds, he also collects them, and has around 800 in his collection. Each one, tells a different story.



剛剛那一則報導中，看到鄭永斌衷心於龜印雕刻藝術，一個台灣的夕陽產業，鄭永斌也是個龜印收藏家，已經累積了至少800多個收藏品，每一個都訴說著不一樣的故事。







END：上海歲末敬老



Finally today, we go back to China, where volunteers in Shanghai went to a nursing home, to hand out winter aid to the elderly residents. We”ll leave you with these images. Thank you for watching Da Ai Headlines. Goodbye.
