1.紅溪河清汙泥



The Angke River in Indonesia, is also known as the Black Heart of Jakarta. As more and more people dumped their waste into the river, the mud on the riverbed became even higher. As a result, the river floods every time when it rains-- profoundly affecting the life of local residents. Since 2002, as part of their commitment to the region, Tzu Chi volunteers helped build Da Ai villages for the local residents to relocate, and have carried out cleanup work to restore the river to its once pristine condition.



印尼紅溪河，素有雅加達黑色心臟之稱，越來越多住戶，將垃圾倒進紅溪河，堆積相當高的淤泥。每逢下雨，當地居民就得面臨淹水之苦，因此慈濟志工為紅溪河居民，興建了大愛村，協助他們搬遷，同時也展開紅溪河的整治工作，希望恢復紅溪河曾有的美麗。





2.澳言達愛灑



Earlier this year, New South Wales in Australia suffered severe flooding from torrential rains, and Tzu Chi volunteers immediately went to the worst hit regions of Yenda and Wagga Wagga, to carry out relief distributions. Recently, they went back to revisit the flood victims, and the mayor of Yenda expressed his gratitude to the volunteers. In the last distribution, many flood victims took home bamboo coin banks, and this time, they donated the money to help those in greater need. The visit was joined by Tzu Chi volunteers from Sydney and Melbourne, where they not only spread the seeds of love, but also reaped the fruits of good deeds.



今年初，澳洲的新南威爾斯省發生水患，慈濟志工前往重災區，言達與瓦格瓦格地區發放，最近又再度前往兩地關懷，言達市長表達對志工的感謝，在上次的發放後，災民們都了解慈濟志工推廣竹筒歲月精神，這次相聚紛紛捐了錢做善款，結合雪梨和墨爾本的志工，重返災區展開愛灑，他們也感受到善效應的力量。





《 靜思語 》



The most precious heirloom is a legacy of love and kindness.



以善以愛傳家，是無上至寶。





3.香江綠足跡(6)天水圍



In Hong Kong, the area of Tin Shui Wai live many housewives from China, who feel cut off from their adopted home, due to language barriers, different culture and other issues. Luckily, in 2008, Tzu Chi volunteers started carrying out home visits to care for these women and encouraged them to participate in recycling every week. This year, the Tzu Chi Tin Shui Wai (天水圍) Liaison Office was finally established, giving residents a place to call home.



在香港，天水圍有許多來自中國的外籍配偶，因為語言不通、文化不同以及其他問題，使得他們對環境不適應。幸好2008年，慈濟志工走入天水圍，從每個月的居家訪視，到每個禮拜的環保。今年四月，慈濟在天水圍的聯絡處啟用，讓天水圍的居民，有回到家的感覺。





4.香江綠足跡(7)林春妹



Lin Chunmei林春妹, originally from China”s Guangdong廣東, was married to Hong Kong. A stranger to the city, she had no one to talk to about her troubles. She kept her emotions bottled up, until one day Tzu Chi volunteers paid her a visit. It was then that Lin realized that she”s not alone in this city far away from home.



林春妹，從廣東嫁給香港，陌生的城市沒人可訴苦，許多情緒就這樣悶在心裡，直到慈濟志工的探訪，林春妹才發現，原來在他鄉的她，不再是孤單的。





《 衲履足跡 》談待人處事 On Maintaining Relationships



When our hearts are full of beauty, we will see the world and people in a positive light and appreciate the good points of others.

Harmoniously getting along with others is the best way to maintaining relationships.



只要心美，見世間的人事物皆美；能換個角度看別人的優點，自己有雅量與大氣度，人與人之間彼此感恩、互愛，待人圓滿，就是最好的領導方式。





5.綠房子DIY(4)



In order to make the house of her dreams, Li Daixian(李代賢), along with her husband, spent four years building and designing a house made almost entirely from recycled or natural resources. The result is a house, that was not only cheap to build, but with its superior insulation, inexpensive to maintain. For Li, the house has also shown her, the true meaning of Fengshui, which for her, means to be living in harmony with nature and its flow. Here”s more.



為了蓋一棟自己夢想中的房子，李代賢和她的丈夫花了4年，自行設計建造出一棟，具有環保理念的自然屋，他們要向大家證明，蓋綠房子其實不用花很多錢，對李代賢來說，這棟房子也突顯了風水的真諦，和大自然共生共存，一起來看看。

In Taiwan”s night markets or handicraft stores, you probably have seen decorations and artwork made from glass. In today”s feature reports on the island”s sunset trades, we go to Hsinchu, to meet glass sculptor Xu Jinlang(許金烺), who is able to make just about anything from glass. The artisan not only hopes to change people”s perspective of glass through his work, but is also passing on his knowledge and skills to those interested. Let”s take a look.
