1.菲黎剎工代賑 Filipinos join work relief program
On August 12th, Philippines Tzu Chi volunteers went to the municipality of Rod-ri-guez, in Rizal Province, to conduct a disaster survey. After a meeting with the governor and government officials, a work-relief program was established two days later and some 4,000 local residents were invited to join in.

2.緬甸水患勘災 Flood victims in desparate need
The heavy rainfall at the end of July in Myanmar has caused serious flooding in the Bago Region, which is situated north east of Yangon. As houses and farmlands were submerged under water, Bago”s residents were forced to evacuate to higher grounds, and they are faced with food shortage as travel is limited to rafts.

3.香江綠足跡(2) Seeing Tzu Chi”s good work
Continuing on our feature reports on Hong Kong, today, we look at the government program that was established to deal with its garbage problem. In 2011, the government set up the Kowloon Bay Material Transfer Centre or MTC, to collect recyclables from different communities and educate the public on the importance of recycling. Now, Tzu Chi is working hand-in-hand with the government, in hopes of turning Hong Kong into a greener city.
接著我們香港的專題報導，今天我們來看看面對垃圾問題，香港政府所提出的計畫，在2011年香港政府成立了，九龍灣回收物料轉運中心，希望能收集社區的回收物品並教導民眾環保的重要性，慈濟現在和政府一起合作，希望讓香港蛻變為綠色香江。

5.綠房子DIY(2) Eco-friendly house made of paper
In our continuing series on DIY eco-friendly homes, we now travel south to Taiwan”s Pingtung, to take a look at the house of one Canadian, John Lamorie, who has built his home almost entirely out of recycled materials and cast offs. Another intriguing feature of the house, is that the walls and foundation are made with a mixture of concrete and used newspaper pulp. Let”s now take a look at how John is building his house, one cast off at a time.
綠房子DIY系列報導中，我們來到南台灣的屏東參觀加拿大籍台灣女婿羅約翰的家 ，他的家都是用回收物建造的，這間房子令人驚奇的是，它用報紙和水泥混合，製作出堅固的紙磚，接下來看看羅約翰如何打造他的綠房子。
6.360紅磚塊 The tale of red bricks in Taiwan
In the 1960s, Taiwan”s construction industry was flourishing, and the main material used to build houses was red bricks. At that time, Changhua”s Qiaotou (橋頭) Village was known as the hometown of red bricks. However, with the passing of time, there are only five red-brick kilns left in the village. Among them, Zhang family”s kiln is a century old. Though the 4th generation owner, Zhang Chengyuan(張澄淵) struggled to make it through the fall of the industry, nevertheless, they worked together as a family and have successfully turned their kiln into a tourist attraction and are even producing custom made products with red bricks.

At the end of our show today, we go to China”s Xiamen, where Tzu Chi volunteers regularly visit the local nursing home every month. On the most recent trip last Sunday, the caregivers not only accompanied the senior residents, but also provided foot bath, nail trimming and hair washing services. We will leave you with these images. Thank you for watching Da Ai Headlines. Goodbye.
