1.教育體首彩排

First up in Taiwan; as students and teachers from Tzu Chi University, Tzu Chi College of Technology, Tzu Chi Middle and Elementary School, will be putting on the sign language musical of the Sutra of Profound Gratitude to Parents, at Hualien`s Jing Si Hall at the end of this month, we join them at their final rehearsal session.

首先，在台灣慈濟中小學與慈濟大學和技術學院師生，這個月底將在靜思堂演出父母恩重難報經的音樂手語劇，一起來看看彩排情況，跟著音樂在舞台上演繹，這群慈濟技術學院的師生每個動作都相當到位。


2.佛瑞斯諾義診

Moving to the United States, in Fresno of Central California, Tzu Chi volunteers and TIMA members work with medical staff from a local hospital and organizations, to hold a two-day large scale free clinic, in the sport stadium inside Sunnyside High School. The free clinic provided medical treatment in 6 different departments, and served over 2,600 patients.

鏡頭轉到美國，在加州中部的佛瑞斯諾市，慈濟志工與人醫會跟當地醫院以及團體合作舉辦兩天的大型義診，在當地一所高中的體育館義診提供六種科別的服務幫助超過兩千六百多人次。


3.加畢業班關懷

The Toronto Tzu Chi Academy in Canada organizes a field trip to a local nursing home each year for its graduating students. At this year`s event, volunteers took the 10 graduating students and others to put on a variety of performances. The students all agreed that seeing the smiles on these senior residents` faces was the best graduating gift of all.

加拿大多倫多慈濟人文學校，每年都會安排畢業班的學生前往老人院服務，今年同樣也不例外，由志工帶了十位畢業生和人文學校的其他孩子一起來到老人院表演，學生們都說看到這些長者的笑容是最好的畢業禮物。


4. 廣東靜思語教學

At the Taiwanese Businessmen`s Dongguan(東莞) School in Guangdong(廣東), China, Tzu Chi volunteers regularly show up to teach the children Jing Si Aphorisms. On their most recent visit, volunteers discussed the topic of cherishing blessings, and after seeing clip of the school conditions in Zimbabwe, students learned that they in fact enjoy blessings every day that other students can only dream of.

在廣東東莞台商子弟學校，慈濟志工會定期到這裡舉辦靜思語教學，最近一次的拜訪中志工討論的主題是惜福，看到辛巴威孩子學習環境的影片後，才了解他們每天所擁有的其實是那些學生夢寐以求的。


5. MIT藍海策略(3)

Next, in our series of feature reports on products made in Taiwan, we meet the owners of a towel factory, Chen Jinci(陳錦賜) and Li Yueer(李月娥), who despite facing the tough competitions from abroad, as well as the economic crisis in 2008, did not give up on their trade. The couple came up with a line of eco-friendly and non-dyed cotton towels, that are not harmful to our environment and the human body.

今天的台灣製產業專題，MIT藍海策略，我們來認識一家老字號毛巾廠，雖然面對中國低價傾銷，2008年的金融海嘯毛巾廠的老闆們並沒有放棄，反而創造出一系列不會傷害大地和人體的無染毛巾。


6. 桃居關打掃

In Taiwan, Ms. Pan(潘), who suffered a leg injury in a car accident 10 years ago, has had difficulty cleaning up her living environment. She sought help from Tzu Chi volunteers and was surprised when over 20 volunteers showed up at her door step, ready to give her home a proper clean up.

住在台灣的潘女士，十多年前發生車禍，行動不便，打掃環境困難，特地向志工求援，想不到慈濟卻來了二十多位志工來幫忙，清掃環境讓住家煥然一新。


7. 馬助印裔婦

We next travel to Malaysia; to meet a care recipient who has been raising her two daughters on her own since her husband was sentenced to jail. The mother was faced with heavy financial burden when she became injured in an accident and was unable to work. Luckily, it was then that she found the contact number of Tzu Chi when volunteers previously provided tuition support to her elder daughter, that she was able to sought help from the Buddhist NGO.

接著來到馬來西亞，有位照顧戶因丈夫被判入獄十年獨自撫養兩位女兒，媽媽原本在市場工作，因受傷無法工作，所幸慈濟志工曾因補助大女兒學費上門拜訪，當時留下了電話，這位媽媽與慈濟聯繫度過難關，志工來關懷時，家裡的奶粉罐已經見底，過去，這家的女主人還必須向鄰居乞討才能過日子。


8. 印關懷爾藩迪

Also caring for the needy are Tzu Chi volunteers in Indonesia, who have been helping 7-year-old Mu-ham-mad El-van-di, a sufferer of various mental disabilities.

In an effort to assist El-van-di to recover from his condition, his parents have spent countless hours and money on finding a cure. Through relatives, Elvandi`s parents met Tzu Chi, and today, volunteers are providing financial support to the struggling family.

印尼慈濟志工也前往關懷一位7歲的爾藩迪，是一位多重障礙的小孩，為了幫助爾藩迪治病，他的父母到處奔波求診，在親戚的介紹下，爾藩迪父母認識了慈濟，現在志工的幫忙分擔了爾藩迪父母肩上的重擔。


9. 印募社區志工

Staying right where we are, the Tzu Chi Indonesia Chapter regularly organize promotion events at the beginning of each month, in hopes of introducing the Buddhist NGO to local communities and to inspire residents to join volunteers` ranks.

也是印尼報導，慈濟印尼分會固定在每個月初舉辦宣導活動，希望透過社區活動，讓民眾認識慈濟也招募更多志工加入。


10. 環保轉人生

74-year-old recycling volunteer Lai Yueying (賴月英) from Kaohsiung, Taiwan, had a life of turmoil and hardship right up until she met Tzu Chi. After coming across many setbacks in life, Lai shut herself off from the rest of the world. And it was not until she started practicing recycling, that she came to a turning point in life. Let`s take a look.

74歲的環保志工賴月英，來自台灣高雄，直到接觸慈濟之前，她的人生充滿艱辛與坎坷，面對許多的變故後，賴月英卻把自己關閉起來與外界隔離，直到走進環保站生命才有了轉機，一起來看看。


END：瓜日照中心關懷

We go to Guatemala in Central America at the end of today`s program, and join Tzu Chi volunteers in San Jose Pinula, as they visited a local day care center, to hand out daily necessities and biscuits. We will leave you with these images. Thank you for tuning in. Goodbye.

節目最後，來看瓜地馬拉慈濟志工到聖荷西‧比奴拉市的日間照顧中心訪視發放用品毛和餅乾，一起來看看，感恩收看，再會。
