歡迎大愛英語新聞，我是陳美瑾，感恩您的收看。


Coming up in today`s show, Indonesia Tzu Chi volunteers and TIMA medical staff are holding a free clinic for last month`s flood victims.

In Jordan, Tzu Chi volunteers are buiding longlasting friendship with the Bedouin Tribe through its decade-long charity work.

And, in Taiwan, at a year-end event in Taichung, care recipients are reciprocating Tzu Chi`s help through giving a little of their love.


今天的提要，印尼慈濟人和人醫會志工，為上個月受水災之苦的居民舉辦義診

在約旦，慈濟志工與貝都因居民，因為長期的慈善援助，建立了良好的友誼

接著，在台灣台中的歲末活動上，照顧戶也回饋愛，感恩慈濟的幫助


1.印災後義診Free clinic for flood victims

We kick off today`s program in Indonesia; nearly three weeks have gone by since the flooding in Jakarta, however, Tzu Chi volunteers are continuing to care for those affected by the disaster. Apart from helping residents clean up their homes, TIMA medical staff also held a free clinic, in one of the worst hit villages in West Jakarta. Among the doctors participating in the event, many are first timers, and all were deeply moved by the experience.


今天節目的一開始我們來到印尼，雖然雅加達水患已經過了將近三周，慈濟志工持續協助災民，除了幫忙打掃家園，人醫會醫生最近也在西雅加達受災的村落，為鄉親舉辦義診，前來參加義診的醫生當中，有許多人都是第一次參與。大家都深受感動


2.馬歲末發放Year-end aid distributions

Next, in the neighboring country of Malaysia, Tzu Chi volunteers held year-end aid distributions, in both Penang and Malacca, where care recipients were invited to attend. Like in the previous years, apart from a delicious banquet, free clinics and haircut services were also available for participants. In a ceaseless cycle of love, many care recipients also donated their filled bamboo banks, as a token of their appreciation to Tzu Chi.

接著，來看鄰近國家馬來西亞，慈濟志工分別在檳城和馬六甲舉辦歲末發放，邀請照顧戶一起慶祝，年前，現場除了有圍爐、義診、義剪外，還有照顧戶帶來竹筒，小錢慢慢的累積的善心成果。


3.馬幼教迎新Learning customs of Lunar New Year

We stay in Malaysia for our next report; before the coming of the Chinese New Year, the Kuala Lumpur Da Ai Educare Center, organized a series of activities to teach students the customs and culture of the traditional holiday and show them how to spend the festival in a peaceful state of mind. Here`s more.

也是馬來西亞的報導，農曆新年前，吉隆坡大愛兒童教育中心特地舉辦系列活動，教導孩子認識新年的傳統習俗和文化，也用清淨簡樸的心歡度佳節，一起來看看。


4.慈悲約定(五)慈悲之毅Helping nomadic people

In the past few days, we have learned how Tzu Chi volunteers in Jordan are helping tens of thousands of Syrian refugees, by holding aid distributions and many other relief work. Another group Tzu Chi volunteers have been helping over the past 10 years, is the desert-dwelling Bedouin Tribe. In the past decade, volunteers have built longlasting friendships with these needy residents. In today`s report on ”Compassion for Jordan”, we look at the charity work volunteers have carried out, in order to assist these no-ma-dic tribe members.

過去幾天，帶大家看過約旦慈濟人 如何幫助敘利亞難民，除了發放物資，還有其他的幫助，一群慈濟志工長期幫助貝都因人 ，長達十多年，過去十年來，深入貧困地區關懷約旦的原住民，接下來，我們約旦報導，我們看看慈濟志工對於這些游牧民族的這分情。


5.泰環保參訪Visiting recycling station

Moving to Taiwan, Tzu Chi`s recycling stations not only serve as venues, for members of the public to give a helping hand in safeguarding the planet, but are also educational centers for scholars from abroad to learn about environmentalism. Recently, a group of professors and students from the Ut-ta-ra-dit Ra-ja-bhat University in Thailand, visited the Tzu Chi Chunshe(春社) Recycling Station in Taichung, to gain a better understanding on ways to sort recyclables and protect our environment. Let`s take a look.

鏡頭轉到台灣，慈濟環站不只是一個給大眾協助保護地球的地方，也是給海外團體學習環保的教育中心，最近 一團來自泰國程逸皇家大學的教授和學生，來到慈濟春社環保站參訪，了解垃圾分類 、保護大地的重要性，讓我們來看看。


6.美市長關懷Mayor Champagne visit nursing home

Prior to the Lunar New Year, Hualien Tzu Chi volunteers and Jing Si Abode masters went to a local nursing home, to hand out blessing and wisdom red envelopes to senior residents. Among the volunteers was also a special guest from abroad, the mayor of South Toms River of New Jersey, Mr. Joseph Champagne. To express his gratitude to Tzu Chi for its relief work after Hurricane Sandy last year, Joseph decided to visit Taiwan and join volunteer work, as a way to reciprocate Tzu Chi`s love and care.

農曆新年前夕，慈濟志工和靜思精舍法師來到花蓮東區老人之家，一一送上福慧紅包與祝福，志工行列多了一位外國志工，他是美國新澤西州南湯姆斯河市長約瑟夫，為了向桑迪風災救災的慈濟志工表達感恩，他決定拜訪台灣，加入志工行列，回報志工付出的愛心。

Staying in Taiwan, the Tzu Chi Taichung Chapter, held a year-end reunion banquet and aid distribution for their care recipients. Among the participants was 85-year-old Mr.Chen, who volunteered at the second-hand clothing booth, as a way to express his thanks to Tzu Chi. Meanwhile, many care recipients donated money from their bamboo coin banks, as they hope to pay the love forward by helping those in greater need.
