1.台灣燈會環保+高雄燈會成果Recycling at lantern festival

The annual lantern festivals held throughout Taiwan, are an event not to miss, However, with the large crowds also come large amount of garbage. Hence, the organizing committees of the lantern festival, in both Kaohsiung (高雄) and Hsinchu (新竹) invited Tzu Chi volunteers, to promote environmental awareness at the festival.

一年一度全台灣舉辦的燈會，是民眾不會錯過的活動，不過眾多人潮會帶來大量的垃圾，因此今年新竹以及高雄燈會的舉辦單位，邀請慈濟志工在會場宣導環保。


2.安養懷舊元宵+屏東街友元宵Celebrating Lantern Festival

In Taiwan, to bring the cheer of the Lantern Festival to the homeless, Tzu Chi volunteers in Pingtung(屏東) provided free haircuts, a free clinic, and prepared vegetarian dishes for over 200 residents without shelter. As well, the volunteers also went to a nursing home, to celebrate the lantern festival with the senior residents.

在台灣，為了讓街友也感受到元宵節的節慶氣氛，屏東慈濟志工特地舉辦義診、義剪，還準備素食餐點，幫助超過兩百位的街友，此外，慈濟志工也到安養中心和長輩一起歡慶元宵節。


3.佳民元宵慰問Rebuilding bathroom for residents

Staying in Taiwan, starting in 2011, Tzu Chi volunteers have been rebuilding homes and bathrooms for residents in Jiamin(佳民) Village of Hualien(花蓮), as they hope to create a safer community. On February 24th, Tzu Chi volunteers once again visited the care recipients in the village, and this time were accompanied by the local police chief, who is a Christian but says, that love has no boundary between race or faith.
