1. 廈門冬令家訪

As the first region to open its doors to investment in China, Xiamen boasts a vibrant economy. However, behind the prosperity, there are still many poverty-stricken areas. To help, Tzu Chi volunteers are planning to organize winter aid distributions to help 12,700 households. To get the upcoming aid distribution ready, volunteers first visited the recipients to inform them of the event.

廈門是大陸最早開放的經濟特區之一，商業繁榮，但繁榮的背後也有陋巷簡屋，慈濟冬令發放，預計將發放一萬二千七百戶，為了讓發放順利進行，志工特地上門告知訊息。

2. 菲火災關懷

In mid-November, various fires broke out in the cities, of Marikina and Mun-tin-lu-pa in the Philippines, destroying 100 houses and leaving over 400 families affected. Upon hearing of the disaster, Tzu Chi volunteers brought aid supplies to visit the fire victims.

十一月中旬，菲律賓馬利僅那市以及文珍俞巴市都發生火災，上百戶房舍全毀，四百多戶人家被波及，慈濟志工接獲消息，前往關懷發放。

3. 菲17號大愛屋

Following the devastation of Typhoon Ketsana in 2009 in the Philippines, the relief work program inspired many local residents to join the ranks of volunteers. Nevertheless, many of these local volunteers live in difficult conditions, like Lorna, who lives in Old Ba-la-ra in Quezon City. Every time it rains, water will leak into her home, thus, Tzu Chi volunteers decided to help Lorna renovate her home.

菲律賓在2009年凱莎娜風災過後，多了一批志工生力軍，他們多半生活並不好過，像是在計順市舊巴拉拉里的羅娜，她的房子每逢下雨就會漏水，因此志工決定幫她整修房屋。

4. 泰馬加勸募

To continue supporting Hurricane Sandy victims in the United States, students at Canada’s Toronto and Richmond Tzu Chi Academy canvassed for donations through music performances and more. Meanwhile in Asia, Tzu Chi volunteers in Malaysia and Thailand took to the streets and visited hospitals to inspire even more people to join the good cause.

為援助美東風災，加拿大多倫多和列治文人文學校的學生，透過音樂表演募款；同時在亞洲，馬來西亞和泰國慈濟志工走上街頭，以及到當地的醫院，希望可以啟發更多人的善心。

《 靜思語 》

Compassion is inspired from within; blessing is created through action.

慈悲要從內心啟發，造福要用身體行動。

5. 消失的地平線(4)

Pond farming in Taiwan’s Yunlin County is big business and has been so, for the past 30 years. However, the years of using groundwater freely, are at an end, as Yunlin County struggles to control the problems brought on by excessive land subsidence. Farmers have now turned to seawater farming, and the government has helped out by providing them with water supply systems that deliver seawater right to their doorstep. Here’s more.

雲林一帶的養殖業有超過三十年歷史，多年來抽取地下水養殖，已經受到重視，雲林政府開始正視地層下陷問題，現在養殖業者開始使用海水養殖，政府推動海水統籌供應系統，幫助業者改成海水養殖，請看以下報導。

On Actions

At Tzu Chi’s year-end blessing ceremony, Tzu Chi volunteers chant Buddhist sutra in unison, displaying the beauty of Tzu Chi’s humanitarian spirit.

Master Cheng Yen encourages us to be united in efforts, take dharma to heart and incorporate Tzu Chi’s ideals into our daily lives.

6. 360說故事老師

Telling stories to children is a great way to capture their attention and also to pass on a meaningful message. In today’s feature reports on Taiwan’s unique trades, we meet a storyteller, 28-year-old Hong Kaiting(洪凱婷), who graduated with a dance degree, but became a storyteller instead. To become a professional in her field, Hong went through practice after practice to get the right facial expressions and tones.
