1.沙加緬度

Tzu Chi volunteers in Northern California once again worked with Remote Area Medical, also known as RAM, to hold a large-scale free clinic at the California Expo Center in Sacramento. The 4-day event helped over 10,000 residents, who could otherwise not afford medical treatment. Among the volunteers was gynecologist Jon W. Candy, who decided to devote his last day as a doctor to the free clinic, before he retires.

北加州慈濟志工再度與美國偏遠醫療團(RAM)合作，來到沙加緬度加州展覽中心舉辦大型義診，四天的義診，幫助超過一萬位無法負擔醫藥費的人看診，志工們當中，婦產科醫師強森，決定將醫生生涯的最後一天奉獻出來，投入義診服務，讓我們一起來看看。

2.沙加緬度前置

Students on their spring break helped set up the venue, for the 4-day free clinic in Sacramento. Putting together 100 mobile dental chairs, and other equipment, would not have been possible without the help of the college students.

學生利用春假前來幫忙，在沙加緬度舉辦的四天義診，一百張活動牙醫診療椅及器材的組裝，都是靠這些大學生協助才完成。
3.花慈再啟光明

A patient from Hualien in Taiwan - 68-year-old Ms. Zhu - suddenly lost vision in her left eye the night before Chinese New Year”s Eve. At Tzu Chi General Hospital, she was seen by the vice superintendent, Dr. Wang Lixin王立信, who had treated a similar case many years ago, and suspected Ms. Zhu was suffering from cytomegalovirus. After two days of antibiotics, her vision returned.

今年六十八歲的朱女士，小年夜因為左眼突然模糊，近乎失明，加上疲倦無力的症狀，緊急被送往花蓮慈濟醫院就診，王立信副院長因有昔日個案經驗，為助力，研判朱女士受到巨細胞病毒的感染，投藥第二天，就讓朱女士重見光明。

4.炸麵膚護士

Over in Dalin Tzu Chi Hospital, doctors made some delicious noodles, with soybean sauce, to express their gratitude towards the nursing staff. The nurses said the noodles were very nice, and helped take the edge off the day.

為了感恩護理人員的辛勞，大林慈院醫師們親自下廚烹飪炸醬麵，同仁吃了之後，讚不絕口，一掃疲勞。

5.校園清明宣導
Yesterday was Tomb Sweeping Festival in Taiwan. It”s a time when people burn paper money, as offerings to their ancestors. As the practice causes air pollution, a group of Da Ai mothers went to Guoguang Elementary School, in Taipei, to raise awareness, among students, of the environmental impact of burning joss paper. The volunteers said, they hope the children will take what they learned home with them, to convince their parents to rethink the tradition.

昨天是台灣的清明節，許多民眾燒紙錢祭拜祖先，不過燒紙錢會造成空氣污染，所以有一群大愛媽媽，來到台北國光國小做宣導，了解燒紙錢的環境傷害，希望能透過孩子，勸導身旁的人一起來愛護地球。

6.志工行減碳

With the price of petrol going up in Taiwan, residents have been forced to cut down on their travel expenses. In our next report, we meet Tzu Chi volunteer Chen Fengzhu陳鳳珠, who used to drive wherever she went, regardless of the distance. However, after hearing Master Cheng Yen”s call for everyone to cut their carbon footprint, she decided to change her way of life.

台灣油價直直上升，讓許多民眾紛紛減少外出旅遊的機會，在我們接下來的報導，我們來認識慈濟志工陳鳳珠，以前每次出門，不管距離的遠近，都一定要開車，自從聽到證嚴上人呼籲愛護地球，她決定改變生活習慣。

7.零廚餘烹飪

In the north district of Taichung, in central Taiwan, Tzu Chi volunteers launched a cookery class, to promote vegetarianism, and zero waste. For example, a cold dish, made from the skins of daikon, which is a kind of radish, is both delicious and nutritious. Some of the community residents who joined the class, later signed up to Tzu Chi”s volunteer training program.

在台灣台中市北區慈濟志工，組成烹飪班推廣素食及零廚餘，像是紅蘿蔔的皮可以拿來涼拌，不僅好吃還有營養價值，志工邀請社區民眾學做菜，有好幾位因為這樣的牽引，決定培訓社區志工。

8.模範黃瑞霆

In our next report we bring you the amazing story of Huang Ruiting(黃瑞霆), a fifth grader from Taichung, Taiwan, who, when he was only three years old, was involved in an accident, that left him paralyzed from the waist down. However, instead of leaving him bitter, Ruiting maintained a cheerful and mature outlook on life. Recently, he was made one of Taichung City”s model students.

來看一位生命小勇者的故事，台中市的國小五年級生黃瑞霆，三歲發生意外，下半身癱瘓，身體的缺陷沒有讓他怨天尤人，反而讓他早熟懂事，瑞霆相當樂觀，還被推選為台中市的模範兒童。

《 衲履足跡 》 On Filial Piety 談孝思

Filial devotion is the mother of all kindness. A filial person is blessed with a gentle heart.

Look after your parents” every need, and keep them happy and worry-free.

孝為眾善之源，對父母孝順者，必是心地善良之人；

在父母健在時，不只供應衣食無缺，更重要的是使父母歡喜、安心。

9.360客家瓶子菜(一)

In times gone by, in Hakka villages in Taiwan, women would pickle vegetables and store them up for the winter. In Hakka communities in northern Pingtung county, the villagers stored their vegetables in bottles. The tradition still goes on today, but as young people leave the villages, it is in danger of dying out.

早期的客家人，為了保存食物，會將高麗菜做成醃菜，尤其在北屏東高樹、美濃一帶，婦女們還會將醃菜塞進瓶子裡，但隨著時代進步，會做瓶子菜的年輕人 越來越少。


10.360客家瓶子菜(二)

That link with Hakka culture is something that one woman thinks will appeal to the wider public. Ms. Zhong Qiuxiang, from Gaoshu township, says bottled vegetables are not known in her Hakka community, in south Pingtung. But she learned, the hard way, how to make them from her mother-in-law, who comes from the north of the county. Now she is marketing bottled vegetables to bring business opportunities back to her community.

想要將客家的文化傳遞出去，一位婦女就要向大眾廣傳客家文化，住高樹鄉的鍾秋香就說，雖然瓶子菜在她的故鄉南屏東，同樣是客家社區，卻不盛行，但是她卻從來自北屏東的婆婆身上學到瓶子菜的製作方式，現在她收集這些阿嬤醃菜的做法，要將這古老美味帶回故鄉傳承下去。

Finally today, the Water Repentance show in Hualien may be over, but Tzu Chi Elementary School students, who want to keep on eating vegetarian food at home, are being helped by their teachers, who organized an event, to educate parents about the benefits of a meatless diet. We”ll leave you with these images. Thank you for watching Da Ai Headlines. Goodbye.
