After taking part in the 154th ophthalmology free clinic, the donation increased to nearly 30,000 USD, which means the number of patients who can now undergo surgery also increased from 50 to 200.

菲律賓慈濟志工蔡萬擂，特地在慈濟菲律賓義診中心舉辦同學會，在中正學院校友會五十周年時，蔡萬擂和他的高中同學，參訪第154次眼科義診活動後，捐助白內障患者做手術，最後捐出了三萬美元，使得受惠的白內障患者從五十位增加到兩百位。

In our continuing look at how city dwellers in Taiwan are using urban spaces to garden, we visit the home of He Junxian(何俊賢), a teacher who uses what is called a sandwich method to grow tasty, and 100 percent organic vegetables in his apartment building. Requiring minimal care and very little investment, the sandwich method is perfect for those that don’t have a lot of time or space, but still want to try growing their own vegetables.

在台灣，城市的住民該如何，將都市的空間變成菜園，我們帶大家去參觀何俊賢老師的家，他利用三明治耕種法，在公寓裡種植美味、有機的蔬菜，不需花太多時間照料，而且花費不多，三明治耕種法最適合沒有時間，沒有空間的居民，而且還能在家自己種蔬果。

In Malaysia’s Kota Kinabalu, after surveying over 1,000 families who are applying for Tzu Chi’s New Shoots Scholarship, Tzu Chi volunteers found that two out of every ten families they visited were single-parent families. 37-year-old Ros-bi-ca was one example. Thanks to the volunteers’ care and funding, her family now has the resources to get by, and her child is able to receive further education.

Many consider the coffee produced in Yunlin’s Gukeng(古坑) Township, as the back bone of Taiwan’s coffee industry. Behind the scenes, however, are the hard work of many coffee farmers. Among them, 96-year-old Huang Gengzi(黃耕子) began planting and managing a coffee plant, 80 hectares in size since the Japanese colonial period. Today, despite the fall of the industry, Huang’s two sons have decided to return home and take on the family baton.

雲林的古坑咖啡，已經成為台灣咖啡的代表，其實背後有很多咖啡農的努力，其中九十六歲高齡的黃耕子，從日據時代就幫日本人管理八十公頃的咖啡園，如今即使咖啡不再盛行，黃耕子的兩個兒子 選擇回到了老家種咖啡，把爸爸對咖啡的愛延續下去。

On the roof-top of their building, they have set up their very own garden. Evenings and weekends will find many of the residents busy with their plants or discussing gardening tips with their neighbors, which has also helped bring the community closer together.

在台灣，新北市林口有一群公寓居民想出了一個好辦法，不但美化居住環境，更幫助他們減少食物成本，在公寓的屋頂上，他們設了一座菜園，黃昏和週末的時候都會有居民忙著採收，或者和鄰居討論種菜的訣竅，這也讓鄰居之間變得更融洽。

5.外配子志工陪 Teaching children of foreign spouses

Over the past few years, the composition of Taiwan’s population has been changing with the continuous increase in number of foreign spouses. For these new immigrants, language barriers and living environment are all challenges they need to overcome, especially when having to deal with their children’s education. Four years ago, Tzu Chi volunteers in New Taipei City’s Xindian(新店) District set up a reading center, where volunteers come to tutor the children of foreign spouses.

多年來， 台灣人口結構不斷改變，外籍配偶人數不斷增加，對於這些新住民而言，不論語言或是環境都是一大挑戰，對於孩子教育更是無能為力，四年前，新北市新店區慈濟志工成立人文閱讀中心，由志工輔導外配孩子課業。

1. 海地幼兒動土 & 動土準備 Giving children a chance at education

After the Haiti Earthquake in 2010, Tzu Chi volunteers have continued their love and care for the local residents. Tzu Chi has not only established a farm to plant Mo-rin-ga but also has been helping rebuild schools. In Haiti, on October 26th, Tzu Chi volunteers held a groundbreaking ceremony of the opening of the Centre Prescolaire Carmen Rene Durocher, a kindergarten that was severely damaged after the earthquake. Since Haiti was also affected by Hurricane Sandy, the groundbreaking ceremony was conducted indoors.

2010年海地大地震，慈濟志工持續為居民帶來愛與關懷，慈濟不僅推廣辣木也陸續援建校舍，在海地 10月26日進行了遭受地震肆虐的杜柫榭幼兒園動土典禮，這一次 桑迪颶風來攪局改到室內舉辦。

2. 新芽頒獎併(桃園&高雄&基隆) New Shoots Scholarship recipients

As we continue to feature stories on New Shoots Scholarship recipients, we go to Taoyuan(桃園), Keelung(基隆) and Kaohsiung(高雄), to meet a few individuals who are bravely facing diversity. Whether it is being filial towards their parents, or overcoming mental challenges to complete everyday tasks, every one of these stories deserves our applause.

我們繼續報導新芽獎學金者，來到桃園、基隆 和高雄，看看幾位，勇敢面對困境，有些是把握機會、報親恩，有些是克服學習障礙，每個都是感動的故事。

3. 資深委員話慈濟 Volunteers Return to the spiritual home

On October 27th, more than 30 senior Tzu Chi volunteers return to the Jing Si Abode in Hualien,Taiwan to share their experiences of working in Tzu Chi. Master Cheng Yen also took the chance to express her gratitude towards the volunteers and encouraged them to continue the good work.

10月27日，超過30位的資深慈濟志工回到台灣花蓮靜思精舍，分享參與慈濟的點滴， 證嚴 上人也勉勵大家，把握生命良能，精進不懈。

4. 山鶯惜福站 Shanying Tzu Chi market

Also in Taiwan, recently the Shanying(山鶯) Tzu Chi market was established. The market was once a factory that belonged to volunteer Huang Chongxun(黃崇訓), who came from Guandong(廣東)’s Shantou(汕頭) City. Since Huang(黃) and his wife live in China all year round, they decided to donate the place to Tzu Chi. Here’s more.

也是台灣的報導，山鶯惜福站，最近啟用了，這個地方原本是廣東汕頭，慈濟志工黃崇訓的廠房，不過因為夫婦長年旅居大陸，因此成就了這個惜福站的誕生，一起來看看。

5. 印修屋入厝 TC reconstruction efforts

Since 2006, Indonesia Tzu Chi volunteers have been rebuilding houses for disaster victims, whether it’s from fire, floods or just plain ruined houses. Through this program, Tzu Chi has improved many people’s lives.

印尼的慈濟志工，從2006年開始陸續幫助民眾修建房屋，有的是因為火災、水災，有的則是房屋老舊，透過這個扶困計畫，讓民眾都住的安心。

6. 台灣是胖的(5) Underweight women a norm

Over the past few days in our series on Taiwan’s growing weight problem, we have shown viewers the dangers and frustrations that go with being overweight. However, there is another group in Taiwan that is equally at risk as those overweight. Among women 20 to 29, one out of every four is under-weight defined as having a BMI of under 18, those underweight usually don’t exercise and use a strict control of food intake to reach their weight loss goals. This extreme approach, however, weakens the body and can lead to health problems later in life.

台灣是胖的，過去幾天帶您看到台灣的肥胖問題，觀眾也了解到肥胖的風險，台灣20到29歲的女性四分之一都是過輕，這是以BMI指數低於18為基準，女性過輕是因為缺乏運動，但卻嚴格控制食物攝取，為了達到減重的目標，這樣極端的減重方法讓身體機能退化，而且會造成老年健康問題，因此專家建議均衡飲食，以及每天規律運動才是維持體重的王道。

7. 肥胖運動策略 The best way to lose weight

Do you want to lose weight? Do you know how to lose weight? Some think that weight training doesn’t fit into a weight loss regime; others think that after swimming, if you eat, all the calories will be absorbed and the time spent swimming will have gone to waste. Today we find out that weight training is one of the best ways to slim down, and after swimming, it’s ok to eat.

你想要減重嗎，你知道要如何減重嗎，一般人如果想要減重，重量訓練並不能達到減重效果，另外也有人認為，游完泳，只要一進食熱量就會全部被吸收，所有運動就白費了，今天這個報導，要告訴你重訓是其中健身的有效方法，而且游泳後也依然能夠進食。

END：紐慈青圓緣
