1.菲災區發放Aid distribution for typhoon victims

First up in the Philippines` Mindanao Island, on the second day of Tzu Chi`s relief distribution for the survivors of Typhoon Bopha, volunteers` charitable efforts moved several local Chinese entrepreneurs to give a helping hand.

在菲律賓的民答那峨島，慈濟志工進行第二天發放活動，幫助寶發風災的災民，慈濟的善行，進一步帶動當地的華商 加入發放行列。

2.曹春九入厝Moving-in celebrations

Moving to China, in Dongguan(東莞) of Guangdong(廣東) Province, Tzu Chi care recipient, Cao Chunjiu(曹春九) was paralyzed from waist down after a collapsing wall injured her. The injury once left her emotionally devastated, thankfully, Tzu Chi volunteers were there with encouragement and support. To share the happiness of her new home, Cao invited Tzu Chi volunteers for a house warming party.

轉到中國，在廣東東莞，慈濟照顧戶曹春九，因為圍牆倒塌壓傷，下半身癱瘓，癱瘓的意外讓她意志消沉，還好有慈濟志工的鼓勵支持，喬遷之喜，春九還特邀慈濟志工前來一同慶祝。

3.雲南冬令陳龍Bringing love to Yunnan

At this year`s winter aid distribution in China`s Yunnan(雲南) Province, Tzu Chi volunteers arrived in Malutang(馬鹿塘) Township of Kunming(昆明) City to carry out a distribution to help 3,900 families from seven villages. Among the residents who came to pick up their aid supplies was 12-year-old Chen Long(陳龍).

慈濟在中國雲南的冬令發放，今年選在昆明的馬鹿塘鄉進行，這次共幫助七個村子、3900多戶貧困家庭領到物資，前來領取物資的鄉親當中，有位12歲的小男孩陳龍。

4.河苦˙何苦(2)Is hydro-energy green?

Brazil`s Itaipu Dam is one of the world`s largest hydro-electricity producing dams, but what looks to be a green renewable energy is perhaps masking a bigger problem of dislocated residents and the deforestation of the Amazon. In today`s series on water protection, we take a look at the Itaipu Dam and how maybe it`s not the clean renewable energy that it has been advertised to be.

巴西的伊泰普水壩，是世界上之ㄧ的大水壩，可是看起來是綠色的再生能源，好像隱藏了居民被迫遷移、砍伐亞馬遜雨林的大問題，今天的 河苦何苦帶大家看伊泰普水壩，似乎不像宣導中那麼乾淨。


5.雪隆師生經藏Partaking in sutra performance

Tomorrow, we take a look at the building of Belo Monte Dam, to see the conflict between development pressures and the need to protect the environment. Back today`s program; in Malaysia, Tzu Chi volunteer, Tang Fengyi(湯奉頤), led 22 students from her after-school tutoring class, in taking part in the sign language performance of the upcoming year-end blessing ceremony.

明天帶您到美山水壩興建現場，看看當地面臨的發展與環保的兩難，但是回到今天的報導，慈濟志工湯奉頤，帶領自己補習班的22位學生參與經藏演繹。

8.板橋歲末人物New Tzu Chi Commissioner

In Taiwan, from Taipei`s Banciao, newly certified commissioner Li Gongxian (李功賢) had a past addiction to gambling, which left him heavily in debt. However, after the 921 earthquake, Li`s wife, Lin Xiufang (林秀芳), joined Tzu Chi. Seeing his wife`s positive changes, gradually influenced Li to change as well.

在台灣板橋，有位受證委員李功賢，他曾經沉迷於賭博，欠下鉅額賭債，不過九二一地震發生後，他的太太林秀芳加入慈濟，看到太太的改變，也慢慢影響了李功賢。

9.桃園歲末人物Unconditional love in Tzu Chi

Staying in Taiwan, but moving to Taoyuan, we meet volunteer Chen Junhong(陳俊宏), who was born with a mild intellectual disability and was often made fun of when he was younger. Luckily, he met Tzu Chi, and has learned to forgive. Let`s hear his story.

也是台灣的報導，來到桃園 ，有位志工陳俊宏，出生時有輕度智能障礙，從小就常被同儕取笑，還好，走入慈濟後學會包容，學會愛，一起來看他的故事。
