1. 菲火災關懷 Volunteers help fire victims

First up in the Philippines, a major fire broke out in Va-len-zue-la City, leaving 263 families homeless. Upon learning of the tragedy, Tzu Chi volunteers traveled to the disaster site to carry out a survey, and held a distribution to hand out daily necessities.

首先來到菲律賓，描仁瑞拉市發生一場大火造成263戶無家可歸，志工得知後即前往勘災並且發放生活物資。


2. 菲貧困大米 Rice for 391 households

Staying in Valenzuela City, Tzu Chi volunteers held a rice distribution to help 391 households. Most of these residents collect recyclables or clean garbage trucks to make ends meet, however their daily income is no more than 3USD. Therefore, the aid supplies given by Tzu Chi were a great help for these families.

還是描仁瑞拉市的報導，慈濟志工舉辦物資發放，共幫助三百九十一戶，大部分的貧戶以撿拾回收物維生，狀況稍微好一點的是做垃圾車的清潔隊員，但工資一天不到美金3元，慈濟發放的物資對他們來說好珍貴。


3. 印尼扶困交屋 Building homes for the poor

Moving to Indonesia; in a program established to help the poor and destitute, Tzu Chi volunteers began building new homes for residents living on the outskirts of Jakarta, in 2011. Over the past two years, volunteers have constructed a total of 104 homes, and recently five more families moved into the finished homes.

轉到印尼 ，慈濟展開扶困計畫，2011年到北雅加達紀鄰精村幫忙重建房屋，2年來援建104間房屋，這一次有5戶居民可以入住，讓他們有個安身之處。


4. 上海新春茶會 & 南京新春茶會 Holding tea gatherings

In China, a tea gathering was held in Nanjing(南京), where over 70 volunteers took part and shared with each other their changes since joining Tzu Chi. Meanwhile, at the tea gathering held in Shanghai(上海), Tzu Chi volunteers discussed ways to promote the Buddhist NGO to local communities.

在中國，南京慈濟志工最近舉辦茶會，七十位志工來參與、分享他們參與慈濟的改變，另外在上海慈濟志工也舉辦茶會，檢討要如何鼓勵更多人走慈濟路。


5. 馬新春愛灑 Tea gatherings in Johor Bahru

Also holding tea gatherings, are Tzu Chi volunteers in Johor Bahru of Malaysia, who held the events at their local recycling station as well as in a nearby community. Let`s take a look.

也是茶會的報導，馬來西亞新山慈濟志工在環保站和附近的社區舉行兩場茶會，一起來看看。


6. 新山江泰勳 A strong vow & determination

Next, we meet Johor Bahru Tzu Chi volunteer, Jiang Taixun(江泰勳), who used to be a highly paid consultant, but after a surgery in 2012, decided to quit his job to open a vegetarian restaurant. As tiring as it may be running a restaurant, Jiang(江)remains determined to be an advocate of vegetarianism.

接著，馬來西亞新山慈濟志工江泰勳，原本是個高薪顧問，可是在2012年放棄了這份工作開起素食館，工作或許辛苦還是堅持推廣素食。


7. 新衣的祕密 (4) 另一種選擇 Organic cotton - an alternative option

What price are you willing to pay in pursuit of the latest trends? The price of a polluted river or a toxic reservoir? Or is it at the expense of our next generation? Although we wash our newly purchased clothes before we wear them, this is just another way of releasing pollutants into our waters as well. Today, in our final report on the truth behind fashion, we look into organic clothing as another affordable alternative.

為了穿上美麗的衣服，你願意付出什麼樣的代價，汙染的河川或中毒的水庫，還是下一代的未來，就算我們買回家的新衣服，都會在穿之前先洗乾淨，但這也只是換個方式，把這些物質排放到水裡而已，然而我們還是有其他選擇，今天新衣的祕密最後一集 ，我們一起來看，有機棉，如何是一另一種選擇。


8. 繁星生感恩 Helping Multi-Stars Program student

Through the “Multi-Stars Program”, Jingwen(景文) High School student, Yang-Hui Yangzi(楊惠洋子), from Taipei, was accepted into the National Quemoy(金門) University. Yang gave up her dream to become a dancer, and chose to study long-term care, so she can take care of her bedridden mother.

透過繁星申學計畫，景文高中學生楊惠洋子，今年申請上金門大學的長期照護學系，為了照顧長期生病的母親，洋子選擇就讀照護學系放棄跳舞的夢想。


9. 內湖慈少訪老 Tzu Shaos visiting senior residents

In Taiwan`s Tapei, Tzu Shaos from the Neihu(內湖) District, visited a local nursing home, and were surprised to find these senior residents aged between 60 to 90 years old, were no less energetic than young people.

在台灣，慈濟志工帶著，台北市內湖區慈少班學員前往養老院關懷，養老院的長輩們年齡從60到90歲高齡都有，而且精力充沛 不輸給年輕人。


10. 訪視遇自殘 Helping a depressed recipient
