1.台南災況Heavy downpour in southern Taiwan
Over the weekend, southern Taiwan experienced heavy downpour, especially in Pingtung, Kaohsiung and Tainan. Rivers were flooded in Caoshan(草山) and Ganglin(岡林) in Tainan”s Zuozhen(左鎮) District, inundating bridges and causing landslides that blocked roads. In Caoshan Village, one household stranded by the flood was brought to safety by rescue rafts. Now taking shelter at a local school, the flood victims received a visit from Tainan”s Tzu Chi volunteers, who brought along care packages and much-needed emotional support.
上個週末，台灣南部豪雨成災，屏東、高雄、台南的災情尤其慘重，左鎮的草山及岡林社區，因為大雨溪水暴漲，導致對外橋樑一度封閉，對外交通縣道也因落石坍方無法通行，草山村其中有一戶因水災受困，搶救後已經被安置在當地學校，台南慈濟人接獲通報，也帶著生活包前往探視帶來關懷。
2.火災清理回饋
As we went to air, more torrential rains were forcasted to hit southern Taiwan; we will keep you posted. On with today”s reports; a fire broke out in a scooter supply shop in Taiwan”s Taoyuan in early May. Sadly, the shop”s owner lost his son and granddaughter to the blaze on top of his financial losses. In order to restart his business, the owner must first clean up the scene of the disaster. Thankfully, a group of Good Samaritans including local Tzu Chi volunteers have been coming by to help.
上個月台灣桃園一間機車材料行發生火災，除了讓老闆損失數百萬財產，更奪走兒子與孫女的生命，如今要重新開業，也必須先清理現場，還好有一群人士固定前來幫忙，其中包括當地的慈濟志工。
3.菲179義診Putting the smile back on

4.北區委員精進Tzu Cheng & commissioner training seminar
In Taiwan”s New Taipei City, a two-day training seminar for Tzu Chengs and Tzu Chi commissioners was joined by over 3000 people. Due to the volume of participants, the seminar was held at Tzu Chi grounds in both Sanchong and Banqiao. A dharma master from Jing Si Abode in Hualien also made a special trip to lead the participants in a special ceremony honoring the Buddha.
台灣北區慈誠委員舉辦兩天的精進研習會，超過3千位人參加，由於志工人數很多，因此分別在三重和板橋園區進行共修，花蓮靜思精舍的法師也特地前來帶領大家繞佛繞法和拜願。
5.機動香積精進Meal preparation for Tzu Chi seminar
Continuing from the last story, to make sure the seminar that took place in Banqiao Tzu Chi grounds ran smoothly, around 200 catering volunteers started preparing early in the morning. Meanwhile, there was also a team of volunteers who worked around the clock arranging parking spaces and finishing up various tasks. Although they could not join the seminar, the caregivers felt that they were spiritually empowered.
接續上則的報導，為了確保在板橋園區舉行精進研習會課程順利進行，超過兩百名香積志工一大早就開始打理餐點，同時也有另一群志工忙進忙出安排車位和其他事務，雖然他們沒辦法跟著大家一起精進，但也在各自的崗位上，成就彼此的慧命。
6.印山口洋關懷Sisters taking care of each other
In the city of Singkawang, Indonesia, there is a pair of sisters living in poverty. The 71-year-old younger sister suffers cranial nerve damage, and is paralyzed from the waist down. The 82-year-old older sister has cataracts and is visually impaired. The two sisters have no income. They rely purely on family, friends and neighbors” help to get by. At first when Tzu Chi volunteers called upon them, the two sisters refused help fearing that they would soon pass on. Finally under the volunteer”s frequent visits, the pair slowly began to change their mind and accept Tzu Chi”s aid. Inspired by the volunteers, the seniors started to save money each day to donate to help others in need.
在印尼的山口洋市有一對高齡姊妹生活困苦，七十一歲的妹妹因為腦部神經受損，下半身又癱瘓，八十二歲的姊姊又患有白內障，視覺障礙，姊妹沒有謀生能力，平日都靠著親朋好友左鄰右舍的幫忙，慈濟志工來探訪，希望能援助姊妹，但姊妹倆都認為自己年紀大了，希望志工把錢與愛心拿去用在別人，最後，在志工不放棄，長時間關懷下，姊妹打開心房接受資助，志工愛的啟發，姊妹一起每天存一點銅板，希望累積善款，也能回饋助人。

8.慈濟辦學理念
Due to its geography, eastern Taiwan is rather underdeveloped. To help the needy in this area of Taiwan, Master Cheng Yen started the Tzu Chi Foundation. Believing that an education can help fight poverty, the Master decided to build a college which kicked off Tzu Chi”s education mission. Now a student can receive more than just an education but also Tzu Chi”s signature character building from as young as a kindergartner all the way through university. Here”s how it all began.
因為地理位置的關係，東台灣發展緩慢，也因此為了幫助這偏遠地方的人民，證嚴上人創辦了慈濟基金會，因為深信教育能夠改善貧窮，上人決定在東部創立一所學校，也因此開創了慈濟的教育志業，如今學生不只能獲得完善的教育，而從幼稚園開始直到大學，都能夠接受慈濟人文的薰陶，一起來看看當初是怎麼開始的。
9.蘇州愛心定存A new way to donate love
Daily contribution of fifty NT cents by a group of housewives helped support Tzu Chi Foundation”s charity mission over four decades ago. To keep such founding spirit alive, on July 9, the Suzhou Branch of the Bank of China announced the start of a new way to do banking. With its Affections Deposit Certificate, the bank will also be giving donations to Tzu Chi”s charitable activities in China. We find out more.
