1.美911追思We will always remember

Eleven years ago, terrorists attacked the twin towers in New York City, destroying our sense of peace in the world. Today, the US government has reconstructed the site where the towers stood, into a memorial site and museum. Although many people died in the tragedy, the silver lining was the goodness of people everywhere that poured out in the aftermath of the event. To commemorate the day, the New York Tzu Chi Chapter held a blessing ceremony to honor the 911 victims.

11年前，恐怖份子攻擊了紐約兩座高樓，毀滅了人們的和平，今天，美國政府在發生事件的現場興建紀念公園，雖然許多人因為那事件過世，可是我們卻是看到許多人在這個事件發生後 ，展現出的善心，為了哀悼911事件，而慈濟紐約分會舉辦祈福會，紀念在911事件中罹難的人。

2.貴州助學簽約Signing contract with local government

In 1997, Tzu Chi volunteers in China established the poverty al-le-viation program, in Guizhou(貴州) Province, to help local residents live a better life. Before school starts, Tzu Chi volunteers from Guangdong(廣東) also arrived in Luodian(羅甸) County, to sign a scholarship program contract with the local government.

5.入侵家園(3)Creeping onto Taiwan”s coasts

In the next report on our series on the invasive species in Taiwan, we travel to Kinmen, where we find the Smooth cord-grass. Perfectly adapted to the coastlines, the quick growing Smooth cord-grass has started to push out local fauna and its spread is now threatening our wetland ecosystems.

入侵家園系列報導，我們來到台灣島和金門沿岸，認識互花米草，這種植物對於海岸與河口，高鹽分的環境適應良好，大量的生長開始影響當地生態，破壞原有濕地生態。
