1.蘆山學人文 Tzu Chi is here for you

We kick off today`s program in China; following the Yaan(雅安) Earthquake on April 20th, Tzu Chi volunteers once again traveled to Lushan(蘆山) High School in Sichuan(四川) Province, where they taught students sign language and Tzu Chi songs. Through these activities, students not only realized the meaning of Great Love, but are also slowly recovering from the shock of the disaster.

在中國 雅安地震後，慈濟志工再度來到蘆山中學，帶動學生手語歌表演，透過這個活動，讓學生了解到大愛的意義，也慢慢從災難中走出來。


2.名山敬老院 Students giving back to community

Staying in Sichuan(四川) Province, although most of China is taking time off to celebrate the Labour Day holidays, some students in Mingshan(名山) High School took the opportunity, to join volunteers in a visit to a nearby nursing home. As for the nursing home residents, seeing the number of children that came to visit them, left them deeply moved.

也是四川的報導，雖然中國大多數人，都開始休五一連續假期，四川雅安名山中學學生，加入志工行列，到學校鄰近的敬老院關懷，許多人都是首次參加，對於老人家而言，看到這麼多學生前來，讓他們紛紛感動落淚。


3.川超越震殤(4)重新站起 A brave girl, Gao Ying

The collapse of many school buildings in the 2008 Wenchuan(汶川) Earthquake led to the tragic death of thousands of students in China`s Sichuan(四川) Province. At that time, when rescue workers were doing their best, to save those still alive, they came across a little girl by the name of Gao Ying(高瑩), who despite been buried under rubble for some 20 hours, put on a brave smile until she was finally freed. Though losing her legs to the disaster, Gao is now in university and is studying education, in hopes of teaching children in the future, to face life with a positive frame of mind.

四川五一二強震當中，校舍倒塌情況嚴重，造成數千位學生傷亡，當年，悲愴的情境下，有一位叫做高瑩的女孩，即便被壓在瓦礫堆下，二十多個小時，卻仍然露出微笑，直到被救出來，高瑩是都江堰，雖然失去雙腿的小腿，高瑩今天仍到努力，考上了大學，目前就讀教育系，希望透過自己的故事，與孩子分享積極樂觀的態度。

4.愛不失憶(1)失智中心 Dementia & Alzheimer`s disease

When speaking of dementia, we usually think of the memory and physical deterioration, associated with the Alzheimer`s disease, but in reality, stroke victims are also likely to suffer dementia as well. No matter the cause, those who suffer from the disease and the family members taking care of them, face a difficult road ahead. Today, we begin a new series of reports on Alzheimer`s and dementia, and first, take a look at the effects of this disease on sufferers and family members alike.

一聽到失智症，大家第一個想到的就是，記憶退化性的阿茲海默症，但事實上，中風也會導致失智的情形，不管是那一種失智，患者與家人所要面對的，是一條極為殘酷的道路，從本周開始，”愛 不失憶”系列報導，首先我們帶您一起去看看，這個症狀如何對病患，還有家人造成影響。

5.江新姝行孝 Filial daughter, Jiang Xinshu

Continuing on the topic of dementia, we go to Taiwan`s Taichung(台中) City, to meet Tzu Chi volunteer Jiang Xinshu`s (江新姝ㄕㄨ) 78-year-old mother, who is a sufferer of dementia. Despite having hired a professional nurse to take care of her mom, Jiang(江) still attends to her mother`s needs personally, as she says, it is a child`s duty to take care of his or her parents.

也是失智症相關的報導，在台灣台中市，慈濟志工江新姝的，七十八歲的媽媽罹患失智症，即便後期，請了專業看護幫忙照顧，但江新姝對媽媽，依舊事必躬親，她說，照顧媽媽本來就是子女該做的事。


《 衲履足跡 》談減約 On Reducing and Saving

Being hard working and frugal, taking pleasure in serving - this all helps to cultivate a loving heart. A life that is lived simply saves energy, reduces carbon emission, and helps stabilize the planet`s weather patterns. Master Cheng Yen hopes that more people will be inspired to change their daily habits, thus bringing peace to this world and love among mankind.

生活中克勤克儉，且樂於付出，就能培養豐富的愛心；生活簡單，節能減碳，亦能穩定大地氣候。希望啟發人人一念愛心、改變生活習慣，使人間有愛、天地平安。

6.台東監獄義診+脊髓病友義診 Free clinics cure sickness

Meanwhile, in Taitung(台東) County, Eastern District TIMA medical staff also held a free clinic at the Taiyuan(泰源) Skill Training Institute, to provide medical services to inmates. Here`s more.
