1. 蘇北春蕾助學 Helping needy students in China

First up in China; since 2007, Tzu Chi volunteers in Shanghai(上海), have been taking part in a local program, the Spring Buds, held in northern Jiangsu(江蘇) Province, to help needy students finish their schooling. This year, in Suqian(宿遷) City, 259 students received scholarship support. To reciprocate, the students later volunteered to help out at winter aid distributions.

首先來到中國，上海慈濟志工，從2007年開始參與蘇北地區春蕾計劃，幫助貧困學生完成學業，今年在宿遷市有259位學生接受幫忙，同學們更進一步要回報，在這次的冬令發放都要出來做志工。

2. 河北暖陽(3)中國志工 Devoted TC volunteers

Over the past 2 days, we have joined Tzu Chi volunteers in China, as they carried out their series of winter aid distributions in Yi(易) County, Hebei(河北) Province. At this year’s distributions, apart from Tzu Chi volunteers, people from all walks of life joined the event, to contribute their share to help those in need. The distributions were all organized and planned by China Tzu Chi volunteers. Among them was 37-year-old Zhang Lian(張連), one of the first volunteer in Tianjin’s(天津) Ji(薊) County, who met the Buddhist NGO in 2010, and was certified this November. Meanwhile, Beijing(北京) Tzu Chi volunteer, Liu Yi(劉毅), has put his dream of living a luxurious life behind him, to devote himself to serving others.

過去兩天來，我們跟著中國慈濟志工一起到河北省易縣展開冬令發放，今年的發放除了慈濟志工還有來自當地各行各業的人全都來付出自己的心力，中國慈濟志工承擔和規畫，其中37歲的張連在2010年認識慈濟之後，今年11月終於受證，成為天津薊縣第一顆種子，另外北京志工劉毅，放下過去追求名利的生活，投入志工的行列，幫助困苦人家。


3. 馬照顧戶清居Volunteers help to clean up house

In Penang, Malaysia, Tzu Chi volunteers helped one care recipient, Mrs. Chen(陳) clean up her house. After her husband passed away a year ago, the widow has been buried in grief and has disregarded all household chores. To help, over 10 Tzu Chi volunteers assisted the family clean up their home, in hopes of helping Mrs. Chen overcome her loss.

在馬來西亞的檳城，慈濟志工幫助照顧戶清理房子，陳女士的先生 一年前因病往生，無法走出喪夫之痛的她無心整理家務，十多位檳城的慈濟志工幫她做個大掃除，希望整潔環境能讓她改變心情。

4. 登嘉樓無量義(二) Performance in Terengganu

The last of a series of musical performances, of the Sutra of In-nu-me-rable Meanings in Malaysia, is held in Te-reng-ga-nu, an area that only has 57 training volunteers. To ensure the sign language performance was a success, many volunteers took part in the musical with their family members.

5. 花慈健康促進 Hualien TC Hospital receives awards

7. 360字畫維修 Chinese painting restorer

When visiting a museum, we see paintings that are hundreds or sometimes thousands of years old; however, what happens when a painting cracks or creases? In today’s report on Taiwan’s unique trades, we bring you the story of Chinese painting restorer, Lin Huansheng(林煥盛), who combines skillful hands and a knowledge of ancient history, to repair old works of art for posterity.

8. 與大地共舞(3) Hong Gen’s fight against cancer

In our next report we travel to Taiwan’s Qingshui(清水) District in Taichung City, to meet 72-year-old Hong Gen(洪根). 4 years ago, Hong(洪) was diagnosed with liver and colon cancer and was given only a year to live. Determined to put his remaining time to the fullest, Hong(洪) spent much of his time in the mountains planting trees and shrubs. Not only did this time prove to be spiritually fulfilling, but the constant contact with nature helped Hong(洪) beat his doctor’s prog-no-sis and now several years later, he is still alive and healthy.

9. 巴西耶誕禮物Celebrating Christmas with children

As Christmas is right around the corner, Tzu Chi volunteers in Brazil traveled to Fran-cis-co Mor-a-to City, where they handed out gifts to children from the city’s slum area. In addition to lollies and stuffed animals, the volunteers also handed out new sports shoes to the older children. Many of the gifts were donated by local businesses, while gift-wrapping was handled by local volunteers. Thanks to the efforts of everyone involved, the children enjoyed a Christmas celebration of a lifetime.

耶誕節即將到來，巴西慈濟志工前往福仁西斯哥莫拉多市為貧民區的小朋友帶來禮物，包括了糖果、玩具還有男生期待的新球鞋，許多禮物則是由當地的商人捐贈，打包則是社區志工來負責，因為大家的付出讓小朋友能享受到耶誕的氣息。

Moving to Sydney, Australia, at the end of our show today, where Tzu Chi volunteers organized a large-scale dental clinic at the Blacktown Youth College, and their counterparts from Brisbane and Perth also arrived to give a helping hand. The college’s sports stadium was originally empty, but was soon filled with medical equipment and dental chairs. We will leave you with these images. Thank you for tuning in. Goodbye.

節目最後轉到雪梨，慈濟在布萊克敦青年學院舉辦大型牙科義診活動，布里斯本和柏斯志工也前來幫忙，由於體育館原本是空蕩蕩的，不過，沒多久醫療設備全部就定位。一起來看看。感恩收看，再會。
