1.巴拉圭義診Visiting Tzu Chi care recipients

In the City of Asuncion of Paraguay, Tzu Chi volunteers and TIMA doctors pay regular visits to their care recipients, bringing them food and organizing health check-ups. Since acupuncture is very popular in the area, acupuncturist Zhong Ruizhen (鍾瑞珍) never misses the opportunity to help the local residents.

在巴拉圭亞松森市，慈濟志工和人醫會醫師定期關懷照顧戶，帶來食物之外，更為他們做健康檢查，在當地中醫針灸很受到歡迎，因此鍾瑞珍中醫師絕不缺席，替有需要的民眾服務。


2.東松巴省發放Rice distribution in Sumba Island

Next, we go to Sumba Island located in Nu-sa Teng-ga-ra Ti-mur Province in Indonesia, where heavy rain and locusts problems have left local farmers with a poor harvest. Despite receiving rice from Tzu Chi volunteers, their faces still showed worries.

接下來的故事，帶大家到東努沙登加拉省的松巴島，因為雨量過多，加上蝗蟲災害，造成多年農作短收，為了解決居民燃眉之急，慈濟志工送來大米，不過居民的臉上還是充滿擔憂。


3.贏在起跑點(1)國小Giving children a good head start

In several months, 6 or 7 year olds in Taiwan will be entering elementary school. Many parents are giving their children a head start by sending them to talent classes at a very young age. In the first of our new series called ”One Step Ahead” on child development and how to best prepare them for the future, we find out if learning new hobbies will benefit children in the long run, and how reading is one of the best possible hobbies a child can have.

再幾個月，6-7歲的小朋友馬上就要升小學一年級了，不少家長早就做足了準備，將孩子送到才藝班，想讓他們贏在起跑點，大愛新聞今天開始的新專題”贏在起跑點”，帶您探討孩童的心智發展，以及如何幫孩子的未來做最完善的準備，我們來看看，學習才藝對學童是否有長遠的正面影響，也帶您了解，閱讀是孩子能有最好的嗜好之一。


4.檳城醫療講座Tips to better care for our children

In Malaysia, at the Jing Si Books and Cafe Store in Penang, Tzu Chi volunteers held a seminar, in which tips of what to do when your child becomes ill were discussed by Dr. Feng Huizheng(馮慧徵), and what signs are indications to visit the doctor.

馬來西亞檳城的靜思書軒，慈濟志工舉辦一場醫療講座，由馮慧徵醫生分享，孩子生病時該怎麼辦？還有什麼樣的情況下要看醫生。


5.馬肯納兒義賣Autism Charity Fair held in Malacca

Kanner Association Melaka of Malaysia, hosted the Walk For Autism 2012 Charity Fair on April 29, which was aimed at raising funds for the association to build special classrooms. Tzu Chi volunteers were invited to share their knowledge on recycling work, where they encouraged the participants to give a helping hand.

馬六甲肯納兒協會在4月29日，舉辦了與自閉兒攜手同行，慈善義走暨義賣會，藉此活動為協會籌募辦校經費，以及籌建教室，配合活動，馬六甲慈濟志工也鼓勵民眾落實垃圾不落地，一起為孩子守護清潔環境。


6.浴佛新佛音New tune for Buddhist sutra

As the annual Buddha Day celebration is just around the corner, Tzu Chi volunteer Lv Ciyue (呂慈悅) and the famous music teacher Li Shouquan(李壽全) are working together with dharma masters from Hualien”s Jing Si Abode to record a new version of the Buddhist text chanted in the ceremony. Let”s take a look.

一年一度的佛誕節即將來臨，慈濟志工呂慈悅、知名音樂人李壽全，與花蓮靜思精舍的師父們，一起重新錄製浴佛偈的音樂，讓我們一起來看看。


7.八分飽林秀蘭(一)Tzu Chi Volunteer: Lin Xiulan

Taichung Tzu Chi volunteer Lin Xiulan(林秀蘭) spends much of her days taking on medical, janitorial, and recycling duties. In addition, whenever she has a free moment, she puts her sewing skills to work, to make handbags for the use of recycling volunteers, or to be later sold at Tzu Chi charity auctions. Let”s now take a look and see how Lin Xiulan is using every minute of her day, to work for the sake of others.

住在台中的慈濟志工林秀蘭，平時當醫療志工、做福田，做環保時間已經排得滿滿滿，但是她分秒不空過，善用自己的裁縫手藝，縫製手提袋，除了跟志工們結緣，還將手提袋捐給慈濟做義賣，讓我來看一看林秀蘭如何善用每分鐘布施助人。


8.360磚窯127 year-old Sanhe Kiln

In today”s look at Taiwan”s sunset industries, we introduce you to the sole-surviving traditional kiln of Taiwan. Founded in 1885, Sanhe (三和)Kiln first produced red roof tiles, that were installed in many of Taiwan”s houses at the time. However, as times changed, the kiln couldn”t keep up and was slowly marginalized. Now, one of the founder”s grandson is combining art and community building, to keep the fire burning at the 127 year-old kiln. Here”s more.

今天台灣夕陽產業的專題，我們來看看目前僅存的磚瓦燒製廠，西元1885年創立，三和瓦窯燒出來的紅瓦，曾經是當時許多房子的屋頂，但隨著時代的變遷，瓦窯跟不上時代，慢慢就被邊緣化，如今瓦窯創辦人的其中一位孫子，結合了社區營造與文化創意，要讓127歲的瓦窯裡的火，繼續燃燒下去。

As Taiwan goes into the Snow of May- Tung tree blossom season, Hakka residents around the island are holding festive celebrations. At this year”s festival in Hualien, Tzu Chi volunteers were invited to share their knowledge on conservation work. Volunteers not only demonstrated what can and cannot be recycled but also showcased the green products made by DA.AI Technology. We join them at the end of today”s program. Thank you for watching Da Ai Headlines. Goodbye.
