1.大通道鎮發放

First up in the show, in the United States, New York Tzu Chi volunteers carried out their second large-scale aid distribution in Broad Channels, where 705 families received Tzu Chi`s aid supplies which included blankets, scarves and 600 USD cash cards. In just 24 hours following the disaster, Tzu Chi volunteers were on the scene with hot soup to warm up the victims.

節目一開始，美國慈濟志工，在大通道鎮，舉行第二場大型發放，總計幫助了705個家庭，發放毛毯、圍巾，還有六百元的現值卡，災後24小時，慈濟人就來到 大通道鎮，帶來熱湯給災民。

2.肯斯堡發放

Also helping the hurricane survivors, Tzu Chi volunteers from the New Jersey Chapter arrived in the town of Keans-burg which is an hour`s drive away from New Jersey. The mayor of Keans-burg also took part in the distribution, giving encouragement and support to his people.

慈濟志工來到距離新澤西分會，一個小時車程的肯斯堡，市長全程協助發放，跟每位居民加油打氣。

3.高敘利亞送愛

In Taiwan, to help the Syrian refugees get through the cold winter, Tzu Chi volunteers started to collect second-hand clothes around the island. After one month of preparation, the clothes collected in Taipei, Taichung(台中) and kaohsiung(高雄) were all loaded onto containers.

為了幫助戰亂中的敘利亞難民，台灣慈濟志工發起募集冬衣行動，經過將近一個月的張羅，現在台北、台中、高雄的物資都裝櫃。

《 靜思語 》

Wisdom allows love to remain pure and untainted.

智慧讓愛不變質、不染著。

4.唯醫不變(1)花東醫療現況

In our new series of reports on medical resources, today we take a look at those safeguarding the health of the residents in Hualien(花蓮) and Taitung(台東) County. Although in terms of medical resources per resident, the Hualien(花蓮) and Taitung(台東) areas look well serviced, but as the counties cover a large area, residents are often faced with the problems of getting emergency care.

從今天開始，帶您看關懷花蓮台東地區的醫療團隊，雖然以醫療資源來說，人口比來計算，其實是相當充足的，因此若以面積來計算，就會出現緊急醫療的缺口。

5.菲照顧戶義賣+助學義賣

In the Philippines, to raise fund for the Tzu Chi Ophthalmology Center, Tzu Chi volunteers held a two-day charity sale at the local Tzu Chi Grounds. The event was joined by more than 1,000 volunteers with most of them being local volunteers, scholarship recipients and care recipients.

在菲律賓，為了籌建慈濟眼科中心，慈濟志工當地的志業園區，舉辦了兩天的義賣會，這次的活動有1千名，志工的參與，多數都是本土志工、助學生、還有照顧戶。

《 衲履足跡 》談愛心善念 On Altruistic Thoughts

In order to encourage people to work for the greater good, we need to practice Buddha`s teachings in our daily lives, and devote ourselves selflessly to save living beings from suffering and inspire altruism.

為了帶動、凝聚福緣善業，人間菩薩不僅「護法」更「行法」，將吸收入心的佛法用於日常生活，以菩薩心，無私付出、救度苦難眾生，也啟發更多人的愛心善念。

6.愛的米其林(1)用餐好難

In October of this year, Taiwan`s Construction and Planning Agency passed a law, requiring all new buildings to include handi-cap access into their designs. Although steps have been made in the right direction, for many handicapped such measures have had little effect on their lives so far. Here`s more.

今年十月，台灣營建署通過一項法案，就是未來新建建築，都必須要有輪椅進出的斜坡道，縱使修法立意良善，但對身障者沒有什麼助益，請看以下報導。

7.360築路工程師

In today`s feature reports on Taiwan`s unique trades, we meet a group of hardworking construction staff in South Taiwan, who have been building bridges and roads for public use. Xu Wenyi(徐文義) led his staff in re-building 42 bridges in Jiaxian(甲仙), after the 8/8 flood in 2009, and Lin Qiwen(林啟文), who has been in the industry for 5 years, has followed his father`s footsteps.

在今天的真情臉譜專題，我們來認識一群在南台灣，築路的工程師與工作人員，徐文義帶領著他們的團隊，在2009年的八八風災後，修復甲仙四十二座的斷橋，而林啟文當了工地主任五年，跟著父親的腳步，走入了同行。

Staying in Taiwan at the end of the show, to help Hurricane Sandy victims, a fundraising event was held at the Taichung(台中) Tzu Chi Hospital. The medical staff all kindly donated money from their bamboo banks, in hopes of contributing their share to help those in greater need. We will leave you with these images. Thank you for tuning in. Goodbye.

最後還是關心台灣的新聞，為了幫助桑迪風災災民，台中慈院舉辦募款活動，醫護人員慷慨捐贈他們的竹筒，希望盡一己之力 幫助需要的人，最後一起來看看，謝謝收看，再會。(2012.11.14)
