1.泰水患關懷 Door-to-door visits in flooded Bangkok

Starting today”s program in Thailand, as the authorities in the country continue to drain floodwater through Bangkok and into the sea, parts of the city are still submerged in a foot of water. Worried about the plight of residents in affected areas, local Tzu Chi volunteers went to the Don Muang and Min Buri districts of the capital to hand out food and skin cream.

一開始先來看泰國，泰國政府持續開啟曼谷的水門，不過，部分城市積水依然未退，慈濟志工擔心照顧戶的生活狀況，特地前往曼谷廊曼區及曼谷東區民武里，挨家挨戶送上點心及皮膚藥膏。


2.菲武六干再發放 3rd and 4th distributions in Calumpit

Staying on flood relief we travel to the Philippines, where Tzu Chi continued its relief program to help victims of this year”s typhoons. Calumpit, in Bulacan province, which is one-and-a-half hours from Manila, was under water for two weeks due to Typhoons Nesat and Nalgae at the end of September. Because of the large number of people in need of aid, Tzu Chi recently held distributions number three and four.

也是水患的報導，來到菲律賓，慈濟持續進行援助，幫助颱風受災民眾，武六干省卡倫畢鎮，距離馬尼拉大約一個半小時的車程，因為九月底尼莎和奈格颱風的侵襲，兩周以來讓這裡飽受淹水之苦，因為許多民眾需要幫助，慈濟志工進行第三、第四次的發放。


3.來義二期傳愛 Building community spirit in Laiyi

Also related to flood relief, Laiyi township in south Taiwan was one of the areas hit by Typhoon Morakot in 2009. The second phase of Tzu Chi”s permanent housing, for the indigenous community, will be ready very soon. To build up community spirit, and help local government officials and residents learn from the lessons of the 8/8 disaster, Tzu Chi volunteers have been organizing ”spread the seeds of love” activities at the Laiyi town hall every month.

也是相關水患的報導，2009年八八風災，重創南台灣來義部落，新來義部落二期永久屋即將完工，為了建立社區的士氣，也幫助政府人員及居民，記取八八風災的教訓，慈濟志工每個月到來義鄉公所，舉辦愛灑活動。

4.新芽萌愛(五)新芽兄弟 Tzu Chi scholarships for brothers

Pingtung High School student, Lai Qiancheng(賴乾承) and his brother, Lai Qianye(賴乾曄) come from a single parent family and their father was diagnosed with cancer. The boys were raised by their grandmother. Seeing the pair”s outstanding sports achievements in school, Tzu Chi volunteers decided to help by providing scholarship funding.

屏東高中的賴乾承和弟弟賴乾曄，來自單親家庭，而爸爸更罹患癌症，兄弟幾乎是由奶奶一手帶大，看到兩兄弟體育表現傑出，慈濟志工決定提供獎學金給他們。


5.印助學生環保 Reciprocating Tzu Chi love

Tzu Chi gives students in need wherever they are in the world its New Schoots Scholarships to help them stay in school. After 31 students received Tzu Chi”s scholarship in Indonesia, to show their appreciation to the foundation, the students and their parents all arrived at the local environmental station, to help sort recyclables. After a day”s work, they all realized, safeguarding the planet is not a difficult task, but just needs everyone to take part.

慈濟在世界各地發獎學金給需要的學生，讓他們持續接受教育，印尼的31位慈濟助學生，為了感謝慈濟給予的幫助，跟著他們的家長到環保站做資源回收，在一天的活動下來，他們都感受到，守護地球並不困難，只是需要大家共同盡一份心力。


6.金卡蓮清掃 Cleaning Cengkareng Tzu Chi Hospital

Staying in Indonesia, recently 100 staff and volunteers came together to give Cengkareng Tzu Chi Hospital a good clean up. Among the volunteers was a hearing-impaired husband and wife team, who said they enjoyed the opportunity to give.

持續留在印尼，最近，一百位同仁與志工們，一起打掃印尼金卡蓮慈濟醫院，當中有一對患有聽力障礙的夫妻檔，他們說 能夠付出的感覺真好。


7.大愛感恩綠典範 MOEA issues Green Model Awards

For a cleaner environment, in Taiwan, the Ministry of Economic Affairs is hosting the first International Green Industry Show from October 26th to 29th, at the World Trade Center in Taipei. Twenty companies were recognized for their contribution to green living including Da Ai Technology.

《 衲履足跡 》談恆持 On Following Through

Many people can be inspired to make a resolution; however, that passion can easily fade away. Short-lived kindness will not have a lasting effect. Blessings are only collected by every second of charity, so we must follow through on our commitment to do good deeds.

許多人因一時的感動而發心立願，凡事願意承擔，可是這一份好心念卻迅逝如泡影，而短暫的好心念難以成就好事。每一秒做好事就是集福，剎那間的好心念，要恆持。
8.燙傷淑雨手術 Helping Gu Shuyu

In China, 21-month-old Gu Shuyu(谷淑雨) and her older sister were cared for by their grandparents, who scavenge for a living, when their parents went to work in Zhejiang(浙江). Sadly in April, Shuyu accidentally knocked over a bottle of boiling hot water, and was extensively burned. The family spent all their savings, and even borrowed money, to save her life. Thankfully local philanthropists, and Tzu Chi, learned of the family”s plight, and are helping Shuyu continue her treatment at the Soochow University Affiliated Children”s Hospital.

在中國上海，父母在浙江打工，21個月大的谷淑雨，還有她的姐姐，由拾荒維生的祖父母照顧，但今年四月，小淑雨不慎打翻熱水瓶，造成大面積燒傷，為了救她，全家人的積蓄都花完了，甚至還需要借一大筆錢，還好當地的善心人士、還有慈濟，知道了他們的故事伸出援手，讓淑雨能夠繼續在蘇州兒童醫院，持續接受手術與治療。


9.淑雨燙傷家訪 Helping Shuyu”s family through tragedy

When tragedies like this happen to a young innocent child, like Gu Shuyu, it is always heart breaking. Shuyu”s grandparents, who were caring for her when the accident happened, felt extremely guilty for failing to protect her. But with Tzu Chi volunteers at their side, the family is trying to put the tragedy behind them, and move on.

當天真年幼的孩子發生，像谷淑雨這樣的意外時，真是讓人心碎，意外發生時，淑雨正由祖父母照顧著，也因此他們感到非常的內疚，但因為慈濟人的陪伴，讓一家人逐漸步上正軌。
