1.土城火災清掃關懷Fire in Tucheng District

In Taiwan, a fire broke out on October 19th in Tucheng(土城) District of New Taipei City. The fire destroyed the 3rd floor of a building, leaving eight households homeless. The next day volunteers arrived at the disaster site and provided the fire victims with emergency cash and much needed emotional support. 120 Tzu Chi volunteers and district office staff returned to the scene on Oct 21, to help the victims clean up their homes. Let”s take a look.

2.約旦文具發放Stationery distribution for students

In Jordan, Tzu Chi volunteers are visiting Bed-ou-in children to distribute food and stationery to ensure the children from Wadi Ab-doun and Wadi Fey-nan have enough supplies for school. Among the volunteers is 10-year-old Sean from England, who came with his mother to help out in the distribution.

3.菲甲美地發米Rice distribution in Silang

Philippines Tzu Chi Chapter has continually distributed rice to those in need, such as the Municipality of Si-lang in Cavite Province. To reciprocate, the residents did not attend the event empty handed, many brought their recyclables or coins to pass on the love they have received from Tzu Chi.

慈濟菲律賓分會，多年來發放大米幫助貧困家庭，好比說在甲美地省西朗鎮的發放，而受贈大米的鄉親更是惜福回饋，帶來寶特瓶或銅板，讓愛循環。

4.蘇州義檢Guardians of health

In China, the Suzhou Tzu Chi Health Promotion Center was established in September and on October 20th, another free clinic was conducted, offering free medical checkups for the seniors of a local nursing home.

5.蘇州校長參訪Visits by former principals

Also on Oct 20, free medical checkups were held at Suzhou”s Tzu Chi Ground in China, which was a former school. Among the attendees were the former principals of the school. Although retired, these educators who have devoted themselves to this school for half of their lives are eager to see how this land has been put to use. They were impressed when they saw how Tzu Chi volunteers promoted its humanitarian spirit to the local residents.

10月20號，蘇州慈濟志業園區舉行義檢與戶外活動，這裡以前是個學校，來參加的來賓還有學校的前校長，獻身學校大半輩子的教育家，雖然已經退休，但對於這片土地如何被利用，一直都十分關心，見到慈濟人如何向蘇州市民介紹真善美的慈濟人文，教育家們都顯得十分安慰。

6.佛事展善效應International Buddhist Items Crafts Fair

In Xiamen, China, the 7th International Buddhist Items Crafts Fair hosted 3,000 booths filled with participants from around the world, with Tzu Chi being among them. At their booth, volunteers displayed Tzu Chi Publications, items from DA.AI Technology and Jing Si Tea. Li Zhu(李竹) who used to be Tzu Chi”s scholarship recipient took time off from work to volunteer at Tzu Chi”s booth.

7.誰知盤中飧(五)Natural farming methods?

As Taiwan”s agricultural industry is trying to cope with changes to the environment and climate, the overuse of pesticides and fertilizer, which not only harms the soil, but also weakens the plants themselves are contributing to the problem. In today”s report, let”s take a look at how one of these farmers is overturning the traditional assumptions and practices of farming in favor of sustainable and healthy choices.

台灣的農業嘗試應對環境與氣候變遷，濫用農藥和化肥讓問題更嚴重，不但傷害土壤，同時讓作物更脆弱，讓作物更難以應對嚴峻的情況，今天的專題中，一起來看看這些農夫如何扭轉傳統的農耕法，達成永續發展的農業。

8.新芽游翔名New Shoots Scholarship recipient
