1. 江蘇前景助學

In China’s Jiangsu(江蘇) Province, the Prospect School in Kunshan(昆山) is mainly composed of students from migrant workers’ families. As their financial conditions are difficult, Tzu Chi volunteers regularly care for these children. At the year-end celebration, they also handed out scholarships to help 23 needy students.

江蘇省昆山前景學校是所民工學校，學生家庭經濟較匱乏，因此慈濟志工走入校園進行靜思語教學，在年底時也發放助學金，有23位同學接受幫助。


2. 高市前金義診

In Taiwan’s Kaohsiung, in co-lla-boration with the Hondao(弘道) Senior Citizen’s Welfare Foundation, Tzu Chi carried out a free clinic last month, to safeguard the health of senior residents in Qianjin (前金) District. Let’s take a look.

在台灣高雄，慈濟與弘道基金會合作舉辦義診，共同為高雄前金區老人家的健康把關，一起來看看。


3. 北加齋戒圓滿

Moving to the United States, in Northern California, 40 students from Tzu Chi Academy, and 230 Tzu Chi volunteers will perform the Water Repentance Sutra at the upcoming year-end blessing ceremony. To mark this important occasion, performers young and old were dedicated to taking on a vegetarian diet for 108 days.

鏡頭轉到美國，北加州歲末祝福，有40位慈濟人文學校的學生，以及230位志工，將要演繹經藏，為了歲末重要的盛事，不分老少都要完成108餐素食。


《 靜思語 》

Rather than searching for a path, search within our own mind; instead of asking for directions, ask our heart.

找路不如找心，問路不如問心。


4. 河苦‧何苦(3)

From 2010 to 2020, the government of Brazil plans to increase its gross domestic production by 5 percent per year, which also means that energy consumption will sig-ni-fi-cantly increase. To offset this increase in energy needs, the government has decided to build the Belo Monte Dam. Although providing more energy for the nation as a whole, the dam will also dramatically change the water levels of the Xingu(星谷) River, thus, affecting the lives of local residents. Here’s more.

2010到2020年間，巴西政府計畫每年的GDP都要增加5個百分比，於是電力的供應也必須跟著上升，為了因應這個負荷，政府相關單位決定興建美山水壩，雖然生產了更多的電力，卻對星谷河的水位帶來變化，影響當地的居民生活環境，一起來看看。


5. 阿根廷歲末

On January 6th, a Tzu Chi’s year-end blessing ceremony was held in Argentina. Both the overseas Chinese community and local residents arrived to take part in the event, and during which, 5 newly certified Tzu Chi volunteers also promised to carry on Tzu Chi’s missions.

1月6日，阿根廷舉辦了一場歲末祝福，參與活動的不只是華僑，更有許多社區民眾，活動中，剛受證的五位慈誠委員，也答應要扛起慈濟志業的大任。


6. 桃園歲末夫妻+逆子

In Taiwan, at the year-end blessing ceremony in Taoyuan’s (桃園) Jing Si Hall, we meet Lin Sanbao(林三寶), who left home after an argument with his father, and did not return for the next 12 years. Another volunteer, Zeng Xinzuo(曾信坐), was previously addicted to gambling and drinking, and it was sorting recyclables at a Tzu Chi recycling station, that helped him turn over a new leaf.

在台灣桃園靜思堂舉辦的歲末祝福，帶各位來認識林三寶，他因跟父親發生衝突，有十二年沒有回家；而曾信坐，過去則是賭博又愛喝酒，後來到環保站做回收後，才開始改變自己。


7. 關渡歲末陪伴

Also in Taiwan, in the Xinyi (信義) District of Taipei, Zhang-Li Baoyu (張李寶玉) was recently certified as a Tzu Chi commissioner. In the past, she was known for her bad temper, but during her training, her mentor, volunteer Yu-Zhu Ximei (余朱錫妹) helped Zhang complete her training and become a fine Tzu Chi commissioner.

也是台灣的報導。台北市信義區的張李寶玉，是今年其中一位受證志工，以前她的脾氣非常暴躁，不過接受培訓的這段時間，她的資深志工余朱錫妹全程陪伴，讓張李寶玉成為慈濟委員。


《 衲履足跡 》

On The Deposit of Love

Disaster victims are grateful and deeply moved by Tzu Chi’s timely assistance in the aftermath of disasters. If everyone gives a little; the power of love will build up to immense greatness, which will create a world of harmony and free of worries.

主題：談愛的存糧

開示：在受災民眾最需要幫助的時候，及時給予救助，會讓人將這分愛與恩情銘記心中。只要人人付出一點點，就有愛的大力量，能讓天下人安居且衣食無憂。


8. 年節禮助憨兒

In Taiwan, as Chinese New Year is a month away, New Taipei City’s Labor Department organized a gift box sale for sheltered workshops, where handicapped children showcased their handmade products. Government officials and workshop staff all hope, to encourage the members of the public to purchase these items, in support of the disabled people.

在台灣，一個月後就是農曆新年，新北市政府勞工局舉辦了一場庇護工場年節禮品特賣會，喜憨兒們展現自己的手工產品，政府及員工希望鼓勵大眾購買這些產品，來幫助身心障礙者。


9. 新山成果展

Tzu Chi volunteers in Malaysia’s Johor Bahru, held a graduation ceremony for students of their continuing education courses. Besides learning specific skills, students expressed enjoyment in gaining wisdom through the teachers’ lessons.

慈濟馬來西亞新山支會舉辦才藝學習的社教成果展，除了學才藝，學生從學習中也獲得了智慧。


10. 總鋪師變志工

Back to Taiwan, in Kaohsiung, we meet 62-year-old Cai Liqing(蔡麗清), who despite his illnesses, began to devote himself as a kitchen volunteer at the Tzu Chi Fengshan (鳳山) Liaison Office 5 years ago. Today, the volunteer not only got rid of his bad habits but is also adopting a meatless diet.

回到台灣高雄，帶各位認識62歲的蔡麗清，雖然生病，五年前卻開始到慈濟鳳山聯絡處擔任中央廚房的香積志工，如今他改掉過去的習慣，也開始茹素。
