1. 澳洲20年慶 20th anniversary of TC Australia Chapter

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Tzu Chi Australia Chapter. To celebrate the occasion, volunteers put on 4 sessions of performance on the Sutra of Profound Gratitude to Parents, at Sydney’s Concourse Theater Hall. Beside spreading the message of filial piety, Tzu Chi volunteers from the 6 cities all hoped, to introduce Tzu Chi to the mainstream audiences.

慈濟澳洲分會20周年了，為了慶祝，澳洲慈濟志工在雪梨康克斯劇場，辦了四場「父母恩重難報經」的演繹，他們除了希望傳達孝親的重要，也要讓更多澳洲主流社會的民眾認識慈濟。

2. 澎湖新芽兄弟 Self disciplined and diligent

Every year, Tzu Chi will award New Shoots Scholarship to students who excel academically. In Penghu are 2 brothers, Cai Zhenliang (蔡振亮) and Cai Zhenhao (蔡振豪), whose parents divorced when they were young, and the family’s source of income is dependent on their father’s odd jobs. When they return home from school, the pair also prepare dinner and does housework.

慈濟每年都會提供新芽獎學金，給學業各方面表現傑出的學生，在澎湖有兩兄弟，蔡振亮、蔡振豪，從小父母離異，家中的經濟就靠著父親打零工維持，兩兄弟回家除了做功課還要煮飯、做家事。

3. 快行優先BRT(七)友善交通 BRT, the future trend of transportation

As our viewers might know by now, the BRT system offers several advantages over traditional buses, in terms of service, speed and price. However, what you may not know, is that in countries such as South Korea, the BRT is leading the way in changes to environmentally friendly buses, that run on natural gas or electricity. As well, the buses are all equipped with handicapped-friendly features, that ensure every citizen has easy access to public transportation.

相信我們的觀眾都知道，BRT提升了傳統公車的服務品質速度而且省錢，但觀眾可能不知道，在南韓BRT系統是環保公車的先驅，它們是天然氣或電力驅動的，公車上也有殘障人士專屬設計，確保所有市民都能便利使用這項公共運輸工具。

4. 東渡行願(二)1900 Assisting Tzu Chi volunteers

After the 3/11 Earthquake in 2011, Japan Tzu Chi volunteers arrived at the city of Hi-ga-shi-ma-tsu-shi-ma, to distribute consolation cash and relief supplies. Among the quake survivors is Su-ga-wa-ra Mi-chio, who is a retired member of the Japan Self Defense Forces. In spite of being a disaster victim himself, Mr. Su-ga-wa-ra decided to join the volunteers’ ranks.

2011年在日本311強震後，慈濟志工來到宮城縣東松島市，發放見舞金以及物資，退役的自衛隊員，儘管菅原三千男自己也是災民，還是決定加入慈濟當志工。

5. 360都治關懷員 Medication delivery staff in Taiwan

To help tuberculosis patients receive the treatment they need, the World Health Organization established a “Directly Observed Treatment Short-Course”, also known as DOTS, where an assigned staff will deliver medication to the patients each day. The disease has a 95 percent chance of making a full recovery, and only needs a 6-12 month continuous treatment on the right medicine. In our feature reports on Taiwan’s unique trades, we meet one of these medication delivery staff, Ye Qingfu(葉清福), who is in charge of delivering medication to patients living in the Nanao(南澳) District.

為了協助肺結核患者接受治療，聯合國衛生組織，所訂定的都治計畫，簡稱為 DOTS，由都治關懷員每天為患者送藥，其實肺結核藥物治癒率，高達百分之95，只需要6-12個月的藥物治療，在今天的真情臉譜專題，我們來認識一位負責南澳地區都治關懷員葉清福，讓我們一起來看看。

6. 薄柔纜永居證 Helping those in rural areas

In 1953, Dr. Roland Brown arrived in Hualien, Taiwan, to help those suffering from illnesses. He later established the Men-no-nite Christian Hospital, hoping to provide better medical services to local residents. To thank Dr. Brown for his contribution over the past 40 years, Taiwan’s National Immigration Agency granted him, a permanent residency visa.

從1953年來薄柔纜醫師，來到台灣花蓮幫助那些因病受苦的人，之後他更創辦了門諾醫院，希望能帶給花蓮更好的醫療，為了感謝薄柔纜醫師，四十年來的無私奉獻，移民署頒贈永久居留證。

7. 馬葉首良志工 Tzu Chi care recipient, Ye Shouliang

In Penang, Malaysia, Tzu Chi care recipient Ye Shouliang(葉首良), has been taking care of his three daughters after his wife passed away in 1998. However in 2006, Ye had a stroke that left him paralyzed and unable to work. To help the family, in 2007, Tzu Chi began providing them with both financial subsidies and emotional support.

馬來西亞檳城慈濟照顧戶葉首良，1998年太太過世後就獨自扶養三名女兒，但是 2006年葉首良中風，失去了工作能力，為了幫助這戶人家，2007年慈濟開始關懷他們給予生活補助，也給予心靈關懷。

8.休假日行善日 Dalin Tzu Chi Hospital staff outing

Back in Taiwan, the Dalin (大林) Tzu Chi Hospital recently held an annual staff outing. Unlike other companies, these outings are about doing good deeds for society, and this year it focused on bringing care and love to the elderly people in a nursing home. As many of the participating staff did not have any experience in interacting with senior residents, Tzu Chi volunteers were asked to share their tips.

回到台灣，慈濟大林醫院舉辦年度員工旅遊，不過與其他公司不同，他們選擇外出行善做為員工旅遊，今年則是前往養護中心送上愛與關懷，由於許多人沒有與老人家互動的經驗，因此先向慈濟志工請教做志工技巧。
