Coming up in today`s top stories, a premature infant born in Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital turns 7 thanks to the love and care of medical staff there.

In China, students of the newly rebuilt Qianjin(前進) Elementary School, go above and beyond to preserve their school premises.

And, in Taiwan, many elderly residents no longer sit around at home, but are out there pursuing their own happiness.

在台灣，許多長者不再只是坐在家裡，而是外出，尋找屬於自己的快樂


1.德本浴佛Buddha Day ceremony in Durban

We kick off today`s program in Durban, South Africa, Tzu Chi volunteers organized two Buddha Day ceremonies - one for members of the Chinese community and the other for local volunteers and South Africans. While most of the Zulu volunteers are Catholic, they nonetheless paid homage to the Buddha with sincerity and respect.

一開始帶大家到南非的德本，志工舉辦浴佛典禮，分成兩個場次，一場是華人社區浴佛，一場是本土志工浴佛，雖然大多數的祖魯族志工都信仰天主教，他們依然虔誠禮敬諸佛。


2.護理慈母心Expressing her gratitude

When Xie Chunan(謝淳安) came into the world at Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital in Taiwan, she weighed only 720 grams, slightly heavier than a small bottle of mineral water. But the hospital`s medical team brought her safely through the critical period and she has now grown to be a happy, healthy 7-year-old girl. Accompanied by her family, Chunan(淳安) has returned to the neo-na-tal intensive-care unit, to express her thanks to the nursing staff for taking such good care of her.

曾經是台北慈濟醫院出生的早產兒，謝淳安出生時只有720克，只比一瓶礦泉水還要大一點點，但是在醫護團隊的細心照顧下，度過危險期，平安長大，現在小安安已經七歲了，她在家人的陪伴下，回到的小兒加護病房，感恩護理團隊當時細心的照顧。

4.川 愛伴重生(2)前進人文Project of Hope, 3 years later

After the 921 earthquake in Taiwan, Tzu Chi started rebuilding schools in hard hit areas with its Project Hope campaign, in hopes of giving students a safe and comfortable environment, in which to continue their education. After the 512 Sichuan Earthquake, Tzu Chi Foundation simi-lar-ly started rebuilding efforts in China. When the massive 420 earthquake struck in April, one of the rebuilt schools, Qianjin(前進) Elementary School, became a temporary shelter for local residents, as the building was constructed to withstand an 8.0 magnitude tremor. The school`s education is also infused with Tzu Chi`s philosophy, and each student does their best to help preserve the school.

台灣九二一地震過後，慈濟在台灣的災區援建學校稱作希望工程，希望給孩子最安心、最安全的校舍，繼續讀書，同樣在中國，也要進行援建的工作，在這次420地震中，前進小學成為當地居民安心的避難所，前進小學把感恩當作教育中心思想之一，在這裡讓孩子從生活中點滴，學會感恩。

Through the visit, he was inspired by Tzu Chi`s humanitarian spirit and was also moved by Da Ai TV`s determination to spread the truth, goodness and beauty through the media channel.
