1.緬甸火災發放

A fire broke out last week in Myanmar”s Hlaing Thar Yar Township, about an hour”s ride from downtown Yangon, displacing over 400 families, or over 1,000 people. Local Tzu Chi volunteers carried out a relief distribution five days after the fire, with supplies including food, daily necessities, stationery for children and emergency cash.

上個禮拜緬甸仰光市，一個小時車程的萊達雅區發生火災，四百多戶家庭，也就是超過一千人，因此無家可歸，當地慈濟志工在災後五天，前往發放物資，包含食物、生活必需品、小孩的文具以及慰問金。

2.印尼火災發放

Indonesia”s Jakarta also suffered from a fire outbreak last week. The size and ferocity of the blaze left over 400 people homeless, who took temporary refuge in a nearby school. Tzu Chi has been there to help the fire victims through this difficult time.

印尼雅加達在上星期發生火災，由於火勢猛烈，造成四百多人無家可歸，鄰近的國立小學，成為災民暫時的住所，慈濟志工前往關懷膚慰，協助災民重建家園。

3.菲火災關懷

Still on the topic of fire relief, in Philippines” Manila, a blaze caused by a short circuit left ten families without homes. To help the victims, Tzu Chi volunteers arrived on scene with supplies of rice, plastic mats, and other daily necessities.

也是火災的新聞，菲律賓馬尼拉的一場大火，導致十戶人家無家可歸，為了幫助災民，慈濟志工位災民送上白米、膠墊等生活物資，讓民眾能度過難關。

4.馬難民義診

Refugees seeking asylum in Malaysia are frequently denied access to public healthcare because they do not have citizenship. That is why Malaysian Tzu Chi volunteers at the Klang sub-chapter started hosting monthly free clinics for refugees.

馬來西亞的難民，因為身份的關係，無法享有醫療福利，因此馬來西亞慈濟巴生支會，每個月都會為難民舉辦義診服務。

《 靜思語 》
Life”s harshest punishment is regret.

人生最大的懲罰是後悔。

5.金邊講座志工
In the Cambodian capital city of Phnom Penh, Tzu Chi organized its second promotional lecture. More than 70 local volunteers came to serve at the event. News about the inspiring lecture spread as far as Vietnam, as a group of nine volunteers drove all the way from Ho Chi Mihn city to attend.

柬埔寨金邊，最近舉辦第二次幸福人生講座，這次幫忙的當地志工人數，倍增到70多人，鼓舞了在柬埔寨經商的越南人，因此也來當志工。

6.愛心助早療
According to statistics, six percent of children fail to reach their developmental milestones. In Taiwan, the Maria Social Welfare Foundation has put together a team of medical professionals to help rehabilitate youngsters with developmental delays. The Foundation is appealing for public donations to help young children who are falling behind.

根據統計，遲緩兒發生機率大約在百分之6，為了幫助遲緩兒健康成長，瑪利亞基金會成立專業的醫療團隊，讓這些孩子接受完整的早期療育服務，瑪利亞基金會也向大眾募心募款，幫助這些孩子。

7.動脈狹窄易中風

In southern Taiwan, a patient who suffered a stroke due to arterial embolism had a successful bypass operation at the Dalin Tzu Chi Hospital. Doctors advise those who have high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and are over weight should be screened regularly to protect themselves.

在南台灣的大林慈濟醫院，一位因血管狹窄，引起的腦中風的病患，因為成功的血管繞道手術，正在康復中，醫生建議高膽固醇、高血壓與過重的病患，要定期接受檢查。

8.發現早期肺癌
Lung cancer is known as an invisible killer, as 70 percent of patients show no obvious symptoms of the disease. When patients begin to lose their voice or cough up blood, the cancer is typically already at stage 4. Doctors say if the tumor is less than one centimeter when discovered, chances for a full recovery are over 90 percent. Thus adults 40 years old and above should be screened regularly, using low-dose CT scans to better catch the disease early on.

肺癌又稱為隱形殺手，因為有七成的病人，在之前完全沒有任何症狀，因為腫瘤壓迫既不會壓迫神經，也不會阻塞氣管，等到出現聲音沙啞、咳嗽、咳血，往往已經肺癌末期，醫師表示腫瘤小於1公分，治癒率就有可能達到九成以上，因此40歲以上的民眾，定期做低劑量的電腦斷層掃描，而不是用傳統的X光，才能及早發現病灶。

9.家扶杉林捐屋

Rainbow House is the name of a therapeutic retreat, that originated in quake-ridden Japan, for youngsters who were emotionally scarred by natural disasters. Recently, the Taiwan Fund for Children and Families donated such a house to the Shanlin Junior High School, in Kaohsiung. Many of the students there were victims of Typhoon Morakot in 2009. We join the groundbreaking ceremony of the house in our next report.

彩虹屋是來自地震頻繁的日本的遊戲治療室，幫助天災過後受到心靈創傷的孩子，透過遊戲獲得慰藉，日前家扶中心捐贈高雄杉林國中一棟彩虹屋，杉林國中的學生，很多都經歷莫拉克颱風，帶您一起看看彩虹屋的動土典禮。

《 衲履足跡 》On Traditional Rituals 談過節

When reviving old traditions, we should not adopt old rituals that are dangerous and cause waste and pollution. We should focus instead on the tight bond shared by people during the old days and bring each other closer during festivals and celebrations.

提倡復古，並非只著重早年的民俗，只做出危險、污染、浪費的舉動，而是要恢復早期社會的人情濃厚，藉以啟發智慧；運用年節拉近彼此的感情，增加喜氣。

10.繡神衣(一)

In Taiwan, local temples often hold celebrations where god statues #with bright and colorful clothing are paraded around the streets. One of the stores that makes these uniforms for temple idols is Jinguan(金官) Embroidery. In our special reports on Taiwan”s sunset industries, we speak to the store”s owner, Chen Benchuan(陳本川) about the fall of the trade.

在台灣，當地的寺廟經常舉辦廟會與迎神賽會，常可以看到穿著亮麗的神尪，在街頭巡迴，其中一間製作神衣服的店，就是金官繡莊，在今天的真情臉譜專題，我們來認識負責人陳本川，多了解有關於這個行業。

11.繡神衣(二)

When Taiwan”s economy took off in the late 1970s, people who made it rich felt indebted to the gods, and went out to buy elaborately embroidered clothes for temple statues. However, with competition from abroad, the market went into decline. Tailor Chen Benchuan is now working with his family to keep their store open.

在台灣經濟起飛的1970年代，刺繡神明衣這個產業，曾經是搶手的高級手工行業，民眾想要幫神明做漂亮衣服，然而，進口刺繡神明衣的競爭，讓這個行業沒落，陳本川現在就是要與家人，努力讓這個行業繼續傳承下去。
