1.越元寺火災發放
The Watyuan community of Thailand”s Bangkok is home to low-income families from the countryside or even Myanmar, who hope to reverse their fortunes at the Thai capital. Unfortunately, a fire earlier in the month shattered many of these families” dreams. Tzu Chi volunteers promptly arrived and handed out emergency cash and relief supplies to 66 families.

在泰國曼谷的越元寺社區，大多住著生活辛苦的鄉親，有的是來自鄉下，甚至是從緬甸來，想在泰國首都找到更好的機會，但一場無情的大火，卻打碎許多困苦人家的夢想，還好慈濟志工即時到現場關懷，並完成六十六戶受災戶的物資發放。

2.菲火災併

More fire relief related reports but from the Philippines. Earlier in the month, a fire broke out in Marikina City and on the 11th, another fire broke out in Manila”s Tondo District. Though Tzu Chi volunteers were busy with the large scale Buddha Day ceremony for over 10,000 people on May 13, they still made time and delivered aid and love to these fire victims without delay.

也是火災的報導 但是轉到菲律賓，這個月初在馬利僅那市發生一場火災，接著在5月11日敦洛區又發生一場火災，慈濟菲律賓分會 在13號，完成萬人浴佛活動後，馬上前往勘災發放，膚慰災民。

3.基督城午餐

Linwood College in Christchurch, New Zealand, suffered gravely from the major earthquake of last year. Local Tzu Chi volunteers have been bringing care to the school since the immediate aftermath of the disaster, and beginning last May, providing weekly lunches to needy students.

在去年紐西蘭基督城發生地震，林伍德高中受創嚴重，慈濟志工至今持續關懷，從五月開始，提供貧困學生營養午餐。

4.美校園感恩會

Also caring for students in need; in Las Vegas, the United States, Tzu Chi volunteers have been lending their support to needy students at John S Park Elementary, by distributing food backpacks before weekends, so children won”t have to go hungry when they are away from school. Recently volunteers held a thank-you party for teachers for their assistance with the meal scheme.

接下來還是帶大家看幫助學生的報導，在美國的拉斯維加斯，慈濟在周五前，會來到約翰派克小學發放食物包，讓孩子週末在家也有食物吃，最近，慈濟志工舉辦感恩會，要感謝學校老師的協助發放。

《 靜思語 》

Love”s true power comes from its purity.

單純就是愛的力量。

5.廈門關懷併
In China”s Xiamen, Tzu Chi volunteers visit families under their care on a monthly basis. Since Mother”s Day was recently celebrated, volunteers also remembered to bring carnations to those moms who have been caring for their disabled children. But first, volunteers visited the ”Lianhua Aixin” Nursing Home for the very first time to care for the seniors there.

福建廈門的慈濟志工，每個月都會定期到關懷戶家中，進行居家訪視，五月正巧碰上母親節，志工特地準備了康乃馨，讓長期被照顧的兒女，向母親道感恩，而同樣的祝福，志工也送到了專門照顧長輩，第一次拜訪的蓮花愛心護理院。

6.浴佛翁許素貞

Taipei Tzu Chi volunteer Weng-Xu Suzhen(翁許素貞), is a breast cancer patient, and also suffers from heart and muscle disorders. The multiple diseases once left the woman depressed. Luckily, it was then she met Tzu Chi and after seeing those in greater needs, the woman no longer complained about her life. Instead, Weng-Xu Suzhen learned to cherish every opportunity to give. She also took part in this year”s Buddha Day ceremony.

台北慈濟志工翁許素貞，患有乳癌，還有心律不整，以及重症肌無力的毛病，一身多病，讓她陷入憂慮，幸好這時遇見了慈濟，在看到許多比她生活更辛苦的人，翁許素貞不再埋怨，如今，她珍惜每個付出的機會，更參與今年的浴佛活動。

7.小二真善美

Eight year-old Xie Yaojin of Taiwan”s Hualien lost his father to an illness last year. Left in his grandparents” care, the young boy came to know Tzu Chi as his grandma is currently under training to become a volunteer. Taken under the wing of the Tzu Chi family, the young boy remains optimistic and outgoing and has taken an interest in photography.

今年才八歲住台灣的謝曜璟，爸爸在去年因病往生，現在由爺爺奶奶照顧養育，因為奶奶正在參加慈濟培訓，他也因此認識了慈濟，加入了慈濟大家庭後，小男孩仍然樂觀活潑，並對攝影產生了興趣。

《 衲履足跡 》談慈善 On Charity

People in need help bodhisattvas cultivate their spirituality, which is accomplished through the process of giving. Tzu Chi”s charity mission has spread to all corners of the world and needs to follow the global standards.

苦難眾生乃菩薩的慧命資糧；而菩薩之所以能成就，乃因救助苦難眾生過程中，有所體悟而成長。而今慈濟慈善志業已遍及國際，應具有國際觀，與全球接軌。

8.三一一愛接力(五)

In our continuing reports on the lives of volunteers in Japan, we again take our viewers to Tokyo where we meet Yoshikyouko Senga. As the wife of an orthopedic hospital”s superintendent, Mrs. Senga was inspired by her mother to join Tzu Chi and was transformed by the charity”s post 3/11 relief missions.

今天，三一一愛接力日本專題中，帶大家到東京認識千賀吉玖子，她是東京一間骨科醫院的院長夫人，因為媽媽的鼓舞，在參與311地震賑災後，加入慈濟的行列。

9.南非環保併

Now for some environmental news, in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, Tzu Chi volunteer Xu Meiling(許美玲) began sorting recyclables in her own garage in 2010. As more and more recyclables made their way to Xu”s house, she had to relocate her little recycling point to an empty plot of land next to her shop, where her employees also helped out. Before that, we go to Durban, where recently volunteers took to the streets to promote conservation and how vegetarianism can help secure a more sustainable future.

環保訊息，來看南非依莉莎白港，志工許美玲從2010年開始，從自家的車庫，開始做環保，後來場地太小，環保站就移往自己的店裡，更邀請員工一起來做，不過首先先帶大家到德本，志工走上街頭，邀請民眾一起用節能與素食，響應環保生活。

10.印尼父母恩

311 students recently graduated from the Cengkareng Da Ai School in Jakarta. As a way to say thanks, the graduates started practicing the Sutra of Profound Gratitude Towards Parents since March in order to show off the lessons they have learned regarding filial piety.

印尼金卡蓮大愛學校，今年有311位學生畢業，為了感念師長教誨，學生要在畢業典禮上，表演父母恩重難報經，向來觀禮的家長，說一聲感恩。

END：汐止國小奉食

Also wanting to honor their mothers and show their gratitude, students of Xizhi Elementary School in New Taipei City served food to their moms with the help of Tzu Chi”s Da Ai Mothers. We join this loving event at the end of today”s program. Thank you for watching. Goodbye.

也想要對母親展現感恩的心，新北市汐止國小，邀請大愛媽媽到校內舉辦孝親活動，也安排小朋友為母親奉食，一起來看看，感恩收看，再會。(2012.05.22)
