1. 0130印尼慈濟

In Indonesia, torrential rains which began on January 17th, have flooded many areas of the country. In the aftermath of the flooding, Tzu Chi carried out a series of relief work to help those affected by the disaster. Despite being flood victims themselves, many Tzu Chi volunteers set aside their own siuation, to assist those in need.

印尼1月17日開始下起豪雨，造成了許多地方淹水，為了幫助災民，從水災一開始，慈濟志工就開始進行救災發放，其實許多慈濟志工本身也是災民，不過他們放下家中的事情，投入救災發放。


2. 0129印尼慈濟

Staying in Indonesia, though floodwaters have subsided, with food shortage becoming a serious issue, food prices in the disaster areas have skyrocketed. To help, the Tzu Chi Indonesia Chapter and the Indonesia National Armed Forces have partnered up, to hand out more than 4,000 aid packs which included food and clean clothes, to flood victims in Pa-de-man-gan.

在印尼，大水已退，但是物資短缺的問題開始出現，許多災民說，水災後物價水漲船高。為了幫忙災民，慈濟印尼分會和國軍聯手一起發放四千多份的物資，包括食物和乾淨衣物，給西巴德曼干村的災民。


3. 年前打掃

With the Lunar New Year just around the corner, Tzu Chi volunteers in Taichung(台中), Taiwan, helped care recipient, Ms. Zhang(張) clean up her living environment. As the woman is ill and her daughter’s legs are injured following an accident, the family was unable to clean up their house. To get the family ready to celebrate the coming festival, Tzu Chi volunteers were mobilized to give her house a huge make-over.

農曆新年腳步近了，台中慈濟志工到照顧戶張女士的家，幫忙清掃環境，張女士的女兒因為車禍斷了腿，沒辦法整理居家，為了讓他們過個好年，志工特別來幫這個家大清掃。


4. 二林院長打掃

Moving to Taiwan’s Changhua(彰化), we meet another care recipient Mr. Wang(王) and his wife who both suffer mild mental disability. After discovering the couple had trouble maintaining a clean living environment at home, Tzu Chi volunteers and medical staff from the Taichung(台中) and Dalin(大林)Tzu Chi Hospitals, arrived bright and early one morning, to clean up the Wang(王) household for the upcoming holidays.

來到台灣彰化，認識居家關懷戶王先生。王先生和太太兩人都有輕微的智能障礙，近期慈濟志工發現，因為夫妻倆不擅打理，居家環境髒亂，台中慈院和大林慈院的護理人員一早到來，幫忙大掃除，讓王先生夫婦得以過個 乾淨的農曆年。


《 靜思語 》

To clearly see the world, we need to constantly clear away the shadows in our minds.

時時清除心中陰影，才能明朗人間事


5. 愛在黔縣(1)--貧困的大山

In Guizhou(貴州) Province, China, the topography of the land is made up mostly of limestone rocks, making it difficult for local residents to farm the most basic of crops, thus, the 48 counties in Guizhou(貴州) are listed as impoverished, according to the country’s living standards. Take Loudian(羅甸) County, as an example, where one third of the residents get by, on a yearly income of less than 2,300 Chinese Yuan, which is around 370 USD. Today, we start a new series of reports on ＂Spreading Love to Guizhou＂, as we look in to the difficult living conditions of the local residents.

中國貴州省充滿石灰岩地形，連最基礎的農業發展也特別困難，因此貴州有48個國家級貧困縣，以羅甸縣為例，就有三分之一的人口，年收入比國家定義的貧窮線2300元人民幣還低，等於370美元。今天「愛在黔縣─貧困的大山」，我們來看看 居民居住的地方有多貧窮。

6. 紐歲末準備

At the Tzu Chi New Zealand Chapter, Tzu Chi volunteers and a group of students on school holiday have come together, to make the wisdom and blessing red envelopes, to present to their participants at the coming year-end blessing ceremony. Let’s take a look.

慈濟紐西蘭分會慈濟志工和許多放暑假的年輕人，把握機會幫忙製作福慧紅包，讓紅包得以順利完成，一起來看看。

7. 走出白色巨塔(10)

In Taiwan, electricity is cheap and plentiful. But in the Solomon Islands, except for those living in its capital, most residents still get by wood stoves for their cooking and heating needs. As part of its ongoing assistance to its diplomatic ally, Taiwan sent a team of technicians, to introduce bio-gas technology into the nation’s outlying islands. By turning pig excrement into a renewable energy, the team is not only lifting living standards in the Solomon Islands, but also helping safeguard the local environment.

在台灣，用電便宜又足夠，但在南太平洋的索羅門群島，除了首都市中心有發電，居民大多都是燒柴生火。身為索羅門群島的友邦，台灣技術團在當地推廣在台灣的養豬沼氣發電，將豬隻的排泄物變成再生能源，台灣技術團不但提升索羅門群島人民的生活水準，也有助環境保護。


《 衲履足跡 》

On Raising the Mind

It is Tzu Chi volunteers’ duty to guide those they meet and help them realize the truth that suffering arises from desire and ignorance. From a single thought, this world can become either the Pure Land or a living hell. Therefore, when raising donations, emphasis should be on inspiring compassion in others.

主題：談募心

開示：要引導、接引人，讓大家了解道理，體會人生之苦皆起於欲念、無明；人的起心動念，可以將人間變成淨土，也可以讓人間成為地獄。所以慈濟勸募，重點皆在募心。


8. 愛的朗讀(2)--陽光角落

In today’s feature reports on ＂Reading for Love＂, we meet Chen Youzhen(陳宥臻), who suffers from multiple disabilities after being born prematurely. Despite being blind and unable to move around freely, Chen is determined to pursue her dream. Every Friday, Chen gets herself to the Maria Welfare Foundation and broadcasts her writings to the students there. As well, Youzhen read books through the help of others, in order to get inspiration to prepare for her broadcasting materials. She says, it is through reading that she finds the strength to go on.

為愛朗讀系列報導，要為您介紹一個因為早產導致多重障礙的女孩，陳宥臻。老天爺拿走了她的眼睛、大部分的身體功能，卻拿不走她對夢想的堅持，她每到星期五中午，就會自己推著輪椅到瑪利亞基金會的辦公室，為收托的院童廣播，為了蒐集的素材，她必須藉助別人的眼睛讀書給她聽，她說因為閱讀，讓夢想產生力量。


9. 阿吉善回饋

In Taiwan’s Tainan(台南), we meet mentally challenged A-Ji(阿吉), who after graduating from high school this year, found a job at a car wash, with help from social workers at the Eden Social Welfare Foundation. To pay the love forward, A-Ji decided to join the organization in helping those in greater need.

在台灣的台南，先天患有心智障礙的阿吉，今年他高中畢業，也在伊甸基金會的幫忙下，找到洗車的工作，為了回饋大家的愛，於是他加入心園作業所，幫忙比他更需幫忙的人。
