1. 北加西發放 Flooding destroyed crops

The January flooding in Jakarta, Indonesia, did not spare the city of Bekasi, which is located near the western border of the capital. To help some families put food on the table, Tzu Chi volunteers held a distribution to hand out 5kg of rice and 20 packs of instant noodles to each household.

在印尼雅加達，一月的水患也在首都東邊的北加西地區造成嚴重災情，為了協助居民有食物可以吃，慈濟志工舉辦發放，為每戶家庭送上五公斤大米與二十包泡麵。


2. 印尼慈院五年 Happy 5th Birthday Indonesia TCH

The Indonesia Tzu Chi Hospital, first started as a free clinic center in 2006, and gained government approval to be upgraded to a hospital in 2008. As this year marks the 5th anniversary of the hospital, a celebration event is held. Let`s take a look.

印尼慈濟醫院，原本在2006年只是一個義診中心，但在2008年獲得政府認可成為慈濟醫院，由於今年印尼慈濟醫院慶祝5周年於是舉辦了慶祝活動，讓我們一起來看看。

3. 人瑞義診 Cultivating gratitude and wisdom

In the remote mountain areas of Miaoli(苗栗), Taiwan, TIMA volunteers have been caring for the elderly and sick, through free clinics on a regular basis for over 7 years now. Next, we join the volunteers and medical staff at their recent visit.

在台灣的苗栗山區人醫會志工的愛心腳步不停歇，七年來如一日，讓行動不便的老人病患獲得良好的醫療照顧，讓我們跟著志工與醫護人員參與他們最近的義診活動。

4. 夢想圓舞曲 (4) 不老棒球夢 A senior baseball team in Pingtung

In our next report, we go to Linbian(林邊) Township in Pingtung(屏東) County, to meet the players of the Sunshine Baseball Team. What is special about this team is that the average age of the players is around 70 years old. In spite of their old age, the seniors say, through their story they hope to encourage more people to pursue their dreams.

下一則報導，我們來到屏東縣林邊鄉，來認識陽光不老棒球隊的隊員，有別於一般的棒球隊，這組隊員平均年齡70歲，雖然年長，但這些老人們說，希望透過他們的故事鼓勵更多人 勇敢追夢。


5. 反轉手心：連家森 Come rain or shine

Staying in Taiwan, we meet recycling volunteer Lian Jiasen(連家森) from Taichung`s Dali(大里) District, a cerebral palsy sufferer since birth. It was not until he found the Tzu Chi family at the local recycling station, that 58-year-old Lian was able to open up to the world and appreciate the blessings of simply being alive.

持續留在台灣，我們來認識來自台中大里的環保志工連家森，出生時就腦性麻痺，直到開始當環保志工，58歲的連家森才敞開心胸，擁抱生命的美好。


6. 肉攤轉環保 Sold meat to make a living

Recycling work not only helps safeguard our environment, but is also a way to purify our minds. Tzu Chi volunteer, Cai Xuezhu(蔡雪珠), who used to be a pork seller, decided to end her business five years ago after listening to Master Cheng Yen`s teachings. Today, Cai and her husband both joined Tzu Chi`s ranks and have started a new chapter in their lives - one with Tzu Chi and recycling.

環保不只可以維護環境，也可以洗滌我們的心靈，慈濟志工蔡雪珠，原本做賣豬肉的生意，五年前，聽到證嚴上人的開示決定結束殺生的生意，如今，跟著先生兩人投入了慈濟，也展開人生新的章節，有慈濟以及環保的亮麗人生。


7. 燈會環保減碳 Lighting show attracts crowds

Each year, organizers of the Lantern Festival in Central Taiwan, will come up with innovative and cutting-edge concepts which attract large crowds. However, the volume of garbage that is left behind after the event, has always been a headache for the organizing committee. This year, the Taiwan Cultural and Creative Industries invited Tzu Chi, to promote recycling concepts and waste reduction at the festival.

每一年中台灣燈會都會推陳出新，吸引大批人潮到場觀看，但是留下的大量垃圾，也令主辦單位傷透腦筋，今年文創會主動邀請慈濟志工參與燈會，在現場宣導垃圾減量以及資源回收。


8. 讀書會講座 Changing minds and hearts

In Taiwan, Tzu Chi volunteers around the island have been holding regular study groups based on the Water Repentance Sutra, where many have gained wisdom and found new meanings to life. Next, we join the volunteers at their study groups in Zhudong(竹東) Retreat Office in Hsinchu(新竹), and in Xintai(新泰) District of New Taipei City.

在台灣，全島的慈濟志工過去持續舉辦水懺的讀書會，許多人從當中增長智慧也找到人生新意義，接著，我們跟著志工參與在竹東共修處，以及新北市新泰區舉辦的講座與讀書會。

9. 美新春義賣 Raising funds for Hurricane Sandy victims

In the United States, Hurricane Sandy relief work continues, as the Tzu Chi Academy in Los Angeles, California recently held a charity carnival on February 17th. Tzu Chi volunteers hope to donate the money raised to the disaster survivors.

在美國洛杉磯，桑迪風災賑災工作持續，慈濟人文學校 2月17日舉辦義賣園遊會，慈濟志工將義賣所得全數捐助美東災民。

10. 把握生命傳承 Passing on my specialty

Back to Taiwan, we meet Tzu Chi volunteer Xutao(許桃), whose life story was once made into a Da Ai TV mini drama. Although diagnosed with breast cancer and having moved into the palliative care ward in Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital, Xu insisted on passing on her special dumpling recipe to her fellow volunteers.

回到台灣，我們來認識慈濟志工許桃師姊，她的故事曾被拍攝成大愛長情劇展，雖然罹患乳癌並且住進花蓮慈院心連病房，她還是堅持把自己的好手藝，『青江菜水餃』傳承給其他慈濟志工。
