Why can`t we focus on tasks?

Helping abandoned babies in Taiwan

Welcome to Da Ai Headlines. I`m Helen Liao. Thank you for joining us.

歡迎收看大愛英語新聞，我是廖珮如，感恩有您的加入。

Coming up in the show today, we join the 2,000 Taiwan Tzu Chi volunteers, as they are promoting environmentalism, at the Lantern Festival in Hsinchu(新竹).

As we live in an age, in which, we are constantly surrounded by information and technology, let`s find out why focused attention, seems so hard in today`s world.

In our new feature report on ”Caring for Children”, we visit a shelter, that cares for abandoned babies in Eastern Taiwan.

今天的題要，跟著台灣2000位慈濟志工來到新竹燈會現場，看看他們推動環保的情形

我們現在的世代，是個資訊爆炸的時代，不過，一起來看看為何注意力在現今社會似乎難以維持

今天的疼惜寶貝專題中，帶大家到東台灣收容棄嬰的收容中心


1.新竹燈會環保Environmentalism at Lantern Festival

Taiwan`s annual lantern festival was held this year in Hsinchu(新竹), and saw over 10,000 visitors participating. To keep the festival site clean, Tzu Chi mobilized 2,000 shifts of volunteers, to clean up and promote environmentalism. To encourage members of the public to join Tzu Chi`s ranks, Tzu Chings invented a catchy slogan and made sign-boards with eco-friendly LED bulbs. Let`s take a look.

台灣燈會今年在新竹舉行，賞燈人潮超過萬人，慈濟志工將動員二千人次，投入環境清潔以及宣導環保，為了鼓勵民眾加入慈濟行列，慈青發明了標語，利用環保LED燈製作看板，還設計名牌和大頭娃娃，一起來看看。


2.馬環保站啟用New recycling station

Following a year of negotiation, the Tzu Chi Bu-kit Je-lu-tong Recycling Station, in Selangor of Malaysia, finally received government approval to begin operations. The site, which was once full of garbage, was transformed into a recycling station, to take on the responsibility of protecting the environment. On the day of the opening ceremony, the mayor of Shah A-lam City also attended.

在歷經一年的溝通協調後，馬來西亞雪蘭莪，武吉日落洞慈濟環保站，終於得到官方認同，正式啟用，原本只是堆積垃圾的屋子成為社區環保站，擔負環境保護的重擔，莎阿南市長特地參與開幕典禮。


3.印尼新春團拜＋士林新委團拜＋澎湖迎新委TC New Year celebrations continue

Tzu Chi`s Lunar New Year celebrations continue around the globe. Today, we go to Taiwan`s Penghu(澎湖) and Taipei, where New Year blessing ceremonies, welcomed newly certified Tzu Chi commissioners to the Tzu Chi family. But first, we go to Indonesia, where Jakarta Tzu Chi volunteers, held their New Year blessing ceremony, which was joined by participants of different races and faiths.

慈濟的新春祈福繼續在全球各地舉辦，在新春團拜活動上，歡迎加入慈濟大家庭的新成員 ，首先，我們到印尼，慈濟志工舉辦新春團拜，也有許多不同宗教、種族的民眾前來參加。


4.找回專注力1001 sights and sounds

We live in an age, in which, we are surrounded by information 24 hours a day, that routinely draw our attention, away from what we happen to be focusing on. The result is that our attention span, to focus for long periods of time has diminished, as our brains adapt to this new way of interacting with the world. In our next report, we take a look at how and why focused attention, seems so hard in today`s world.

現代人身處的時代，24小時都處在一個資訊爆炸的時代，常常受到聲光刺激，讓現代人漸漸注意力不集中，所以大家常常容易分心，注意力也很難持續，人類的大腦正努力適應和世界互動的新模式，接下來的報導中，要先帶您了解集中注意力在今日的世界裡何以會如此困難？


5.北慈腦麻病患Taipei TCH treat care recipients

Recently staff from Central TIMA, referred one of their care recipients, Mr. Feng(風), who is a cerebral palsy patient, to the Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital. Mr. Feng(風) has been suffering from a severe toothache, for over three months, which has restricted his food intake. Thankfully, medical staff at the Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital not only fixed his dental problems, but also treated his si-nu-si-tis. Before his discharge, the doctors and nurses even held a farewell gathering to wish him all the best, in the future.

中區慈濟人醫會，日前轉介了長期關懷的腦性麻痺患者風先生，前往台北慈濟醫院就醫，病患因為嚴重牙痛，已經三個多月沒有正常的開口進食，台北慈院口腔外科團隊，不只解決困擾許久的牙痛，更治療鼻竇炎問題，最近準備出院，醫院特別為風先生舉辦歡送會。


6.疼惜寶貝Helping abandoned babies

Today, we start a new series of feature reports on caring for children, and first go to the East Coast of Taiwan, to visit the Hannah`s Hope Taiwan. The foundation was established in 2011, by the Kernel Of Wheat Foundation, and its main goal is to care for babies, that were abandoned by their families. The staff at the Hannah`s Hope Taiwan wish, to provide a safe and happy environment for these children, while raising awareness on how to avoid unwanted pregnancy.

今天我們開始疼惜寶貝的專題報導，我們來到東台灣，來認識棄嬰照顧中心，哈拿希望之家，這個中心是2011年，由一粒麥子基金會所組成的，主要是照護被遺棄的孩童，因此哈拿希望之家，希望能讓這些孩子有個安全快樂的成長地方，同時提倡大眾重視未婚懷孕的問題。


7.辛國法親修屋Helping out local volunteers

In Zimbabwe, there are only a few Tzu Chi volunteers, so local volunteers are especially important, in helping to carry out home visitations. However, some local volunteers, are not much better off, than those care recipients they visit. One such example is Ten-dai Nglu-lube, who`s roof was made out of fabric and tarps. Recently, local volunteers came together, to repair her home by installing a new tin roof.

在辛巴威，慈濟志工人數不多，對於需要人手協助家訪時，更突顯本土志工需求的重要性，不過本土志工生活狀況也不比照顧戶好，而其中一位本土志工忝岱，家裏的屋頂則是用塑膠布和樹枝搭蓋成的，最近，當地志工齊聚為他搭建鐵皮屋頂、修補屋子。


8.做志工重生Regaining a healthy body

Tzu Chi volunteer Shen Jinzhi(沈金職) had fallen ill, and thought, she might not have long to live. Fortunately, while she was taking part, in a hospital volunteer training program, She discovered her symptoms, to be similar to that of a brain tumor. After receiving treatment, Shen(沈) has completely recovered, and is now giving back to society, as a way to show her gratitude. Let`s take a look.

慈濟志工沈金職生了一場大病，抱著活一天、做一天的心情活下去，卻沒想到在參與醫療志工培訓的過程中，無意間了解到自己的症狀，跟腦部長了瘤很相似，積極治療完全康復後，沈金職持續做志工回饋，一起來看看。


END：美靜思語旅館

We go to the United States at the end of the show, since 2011, US Tzu Chi volunteers have been promoting Jing Si Aphorisms in hotels. Recently, the volunteers arrived at San Jose, California, to promote Jing Si Aphorisms to the local Fountain Inn. We will leave you with these images. Thank you for watching Da Ai Headlines. Goodbye.

我們帶大家到美國，2011年開始，美國慈濟志工在旅館裡推動靜思語，最近，志工來到加州聖荷西水泉旅館推廣靜思語。一起來看看，感恩收看，再會。(2013.02.27)
