Welcome to Da Ai Headlines. I’m Wendy Chen. Thank you for joining us. Coming up in today’s top stories, in the United States, Tzu Chi receives recognition from the White House for its relief efforts after Hurricane Sandy.

1. 美德州關懷

First up in the United States, days following the explosion of a fertilizer plant in the town of West, Texas, a security pe-ri-meter remains around the blast site to keep residents and media from entering. To date, only Tzu Chi has been granted permission, to enter the disaster zone, to assess and report on the current situation.

首先來看美國的報導，德州威斯特小鎮化學肥料廠大爆炸後，爆炸現場全部封鎖，所有的居民、媒體都禁止進入，但慈濟志工得到特別許可，進入爆炸現場進行採訪拍攝，報導災區情況。


2. 白宮桑迪表揚

Staying in the United States, the White House regularly recognizes individuals, businesses and organizations, for making a difference in society, through the program of ＂Champions of Change＂. Among those recently awarded for their relieft efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, is Tzu Chi, the only international religious organization selected.

也是美國的報導，白宮近來特地表揚在桑迪風災中，勇於改變現狀又能合作無間的個人及團體，在獲獎者中，慈濟是唯一的國際宗教團體。


3. 美風災照片展

Following months of relief work to help Hurricane Sandy survivors, the Tzu Chi New York Chapter organized a photo exhibition at the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in New York. The exhibition moved local residents, as well as the mayor of Pingtung County, Cao Qihong(曹啟鴻), who was on an official trip to the United States.

在美國，為了紀念慈濟在桑迪風災賑災的行動，慈濟紐約分會在台北經濟文化辦事處展出救災的照片，不只是當地人感動，而到美國訪問的屏東縣長曹啟鴻，也感同身受。


《 靜思語 》

Treat the world as our classroom, where each person is a teacher and each encounter a lesson.

以天地為教室，每個人、每件事，都是教科書與學習的對象。


4. 川超越震殤(1)北川經驗

This year marks the 5th anniversary of the devastating 5/12 earthquake, with survivors slowly recovering from the terrifying event. Beginning today, Da Ai TV reporters are taking us back to Wenchuan(汶川), to see what the government has done, after the 2008 tremor to help local residents rebuild their homes.

四川五一二大地震即將屆滿五周年，災區人民身心、軟硬體逐漸復原，從今天開始，大愛電視台記者帶著我們回到汶川，來看看政府在2008年災後為居民展開的重建工程。


5. 體檢環基法十年(4)山林篇

Have you heard of ecological restoration? It’s an increasingly common practice of restoring damaged ecosystems by human actions, such as planting trees. This practice is not limited to forests, but is applicable to wetlands, or any ecosystem that needs repair. Today, we meet an individual, who has turned his land from a betel nut tree farm into a ro-bust rainforest.

你有聽過自然復育嗎？這個理念就是把一些被破壞的生態系統重新復育，例如種樹，近年來也成為大家的共識，這個行動不是只侷限在森林中執行，還有濕地，以及其它生態系統，都可以修復。今天我們帶大家來認識一位地主，就把他的檳榔園復育成茂盛的雨林。


《 衲履足跡 》
On Correct Thought and (Correct) Action

When undertaking something that we know is correct, even if we encounter hindrances or setbacks, we won’t be put off, but instead will strive to be more careful. When we encounter unfortunate circumstances, they are there to show us that we are not yet ripe, that our hearts have yet to be fully purified and, therefore, need to be ever more motivated and diligent.

主題：談正念行善

開示：做正確的事，即使受到阻礙、挫折，也不會受影響，只是做事要更謹慎、更小心；發生令人遺憾的事故，是提醒我們做得還不夠，還有人的心沒有受到淨化，我們要更加用心與努力。


6. (時光機)0426SARS回顧

On April 24th, this year, Taiwan reported its first case of the H7N9 avian influenza. On the same day, 10 years ago, the-then Heping(和平) Hospital in Taipei, was locked down after having reported an outbreak of SARS. Today, we travel back in time, to the panic and fear the country lived through.

2013年4月24日，台灣傳出了第一例H7N9，十年前的同一天，當時的和平醫院因為爆發SARS疫情院內感染而封院，現在十年後，我們帶您回顧當時台灣社會極度恐慌難熬的時期。


7. 菲助學羅絲蒂

Next, we meet Mary Detayson from the Philipines, who through the help of Tzu Chi, was able to complete her studies, and go on to become an elementary school teacher as she dreamed of.

接著帶大家認識菲律賓羅絲蒂的故事，因為慈濟助學金的補助，讓她完成學業，並且完成成為小學教師的夢想。


END: 巴東發放眼鏡

In Indonesia’s West Sumatra, Tzu Chi volunteers who are concerned for the health of students, carried out a free eye examination service at a local school in Padang, and handed out glasses to those in need. We will leave you with these images. Thank you for tuning in. Goodbye.

慈濟志工前往印尼巴東一所小學，進行免費的視力檢查服務，還準備眼鏡給需要的人，一起來看看，感恩收看，再會。(2013.04.29)
