1.菲大米發放併

In the Philippines, Tzu Chi volunteers have been helping the poor by handing out rice through aid distributions. On their last rice distribution in 2012, volunteers decided to hold the event at Antipolo City, which is some 30km away from Manila. On the day of the event, more than 200 volunteers were mobilized to hand out rice to 5,500 families.

在菲律賓，慈濟志工透過大米發放，幫助困苦家庭，在2012年最後一場發放，志工們決定在安地波羅市進行，距離馬尼拉不到30公里，活動當天，動員兩百多位志工，為5500戶低收入家庭發放。

2.大愛十五周年(真善美新聞後盾)

Da Ai TV has the world`s largest number of reporters. In Taiwan alone, there are over 4,000 of them and they go by the name of media volunteers. These volunteers assist the Da Ai News team, in shooting footage and gathering information from all around the globe.

大愛電視台，擁有全世界最多記者的電視台，光是在台灣 就超過四千多人，其實他們有一個共同的名字，叫做人文真善美志工，協助大愛台，提供相關影視資料和畫面。


3.愛爾蘭看大愛

In our continuing series on Da Ai TV in celebration of its 15th anniversary, we travel to Europe where Tzu Chi volunteers are few and far in-between. However, thanks to Da Ai TV, these volunteers can remain connected to their Tzu Chi family and Master Cheng Yen`s teachings. The TV station has also been instrumental in bringing many new volunteers on board.

大愛15年感恩回首系列報導，我們來到歐洲，這裡的慈濟人相對少見，還好有大愛電視台，慈濟志工才能繼續收到，慈濟的訊息與上人的教誨，大愛電視也發揮啟發志工的功能。

If we are mindful, the truth is near us; otherwise, the truth is distant.

能用心，道理就在眼前；不用心，真理遠在天邊。


4.美訪東非難民

As many refugees flee to the United States, to escape war and conflicts in their home country, we meet Dahaba`s family from Eri-tre-a, who is now settling in North Carolina with her family. While studying English at a community college, she met Tzu Chi volunteer, Liao Wenque(廖雯雀). Knowing that life is difficult for the family of six, Tzu Chi volunteers brought them mattresses, and food supplies.

許多難民都逃到美國尋求庇護，就帶各位認識，現在住在北卡來自厄利垂亞的黛哈巴一家人，黛哈巴在社區學校學習英文，而認識了慈濟志工廖雯雀，志工了解黛哈巴的生活情況後，就送來床舖和食物。


5.美花車器捐

Staying in the United States, Tzu Chi volunteers have been partnering with the Donate Life Foundation, to decorate their float for the Rose Parade each year. This year`s float featured 72 donors` portraits, including a student from the Tzu Chi New Jersey Academy, Jia Yixiu(賈一修), who`s organs gave six families hope.

也是美國的報導，慈濟志工每年都會與，國際器官捐贈組織合作，共同布置花車，今年，有七十二位器官捐贈者的肖像，其中一位，是就讀新澤西慈濟人文，學校的賈一修，他捐出的器官，讓六個家庭得以重生。


6.達拉斯贈書

At the Tzu Chi Dallas Chapter in the United States, volunteers have been caring for the students at the Barack Obama Male Leadership Academy, for over a year now. As a token of their appreciation, the school`s principal and students, are collecting recyclables and donating the money to Tzu Chi.

美國慈濟達拉斯分會，一年多來，志工都會到歐巴馬中學，關懷這裡的學生，為了感恩慈濟的付出，校長和學生，一起做回收，也把錢捐給慈濟。


7.南卡一人一善

In South Carolina of the United States, Charleston currently does not have a Tzu Chi office, and the area only has one commissioner as well. To invite more people to join Tzu Chi, volunteers from near-by, arrived to help organize a tea gathering, to spread the seeds of love to even more people.

美國南卡羅萊納州，查爾斯頓市，目前還沒有慈濟的聯絡點，這裡也只有一位慈濟委員，為了讓更多人認識慈濟，來自附近地區的慈濟法親，特地一起舉辦茶會，希望灑播更多美善種子。


《 衲履足跡 》談發揮良能 On Realizing Our Potential

By putting one`s ability to good use, we become guardian angels to many in life; however, misusing our abilities will cause disruption in society.
Those having a healthy body, yet do not make good use of their abilities, are no less different to a person with disabilities.

若將身體功能用得正確，我們都是人人生命中的貴人；若用錯了，使父母傷心、擾亂社會人群。擁有健全的身體，若不懂道理，無法發揮良能，也如同殘疾一樣。


8.北歲末祝福併

The end of the year is a time, when Tzu Chi volunteers around the globe hold their year-end blessing ceremonies. In Taiwan`s Taipei, volunteers in both Wanhua(萬華) and Daan(大安) Districts, recently held blessing ceremonies to which they invited many local residents to take part.

每年到了年終，全球慈濟志工都在各地區展開歲末祝福，而在台灣的台北，在萬華與大安區，最近舉辦的歲末祝福，邀請了社區的民眾來參與。


9.蘇州歲末人物

In China, the Tzu Chi Suzhou Grounds, held its very first year-end blessing ceremony on December 29th last year. Since agreeing to take part in the musical adaptation of the Water Repentance Sutra, Pan Minxia (潘敏霞) has been working hard to make good use of her time. Let`s hear her story.

在中國 慈濟蘇州志業園區，在12月29日第一次舉辦歲末祝福，自從答應參加水懺演繹開始，潘敏霞懂得善用時間練習，來看看她的故事。

In the Philippines, after Typhoon Bopha left a trail of destruction in Mindanao early December, Tzu Chi volunteers have already carried out a brief disaster survey and decided to organize a large-scale aid distribution and free clinic over last weekend, to help 6,000 households. We will leave you with these images. Thank you for tuning in. Goodbye.
