1.約旦難民關懷 Love & care for Syrian refugees
As long as the unrest in Syria is not solved, the number of refugees would continue to rise. In caring for those who fled their country, Jordan Tzu Chi volunteers extended support in this difficult time. Besides the usual relief supplies, emergency cash is also given at times. The volunteers` monthly hospital visits are also yielding results, as patients there are slowly letting down their guard and starting to confide in the volunteers.

只要敘利亞的問題不解決，難民的數量只會持續增加，為了關懷那些難民，在這個時期， 約旦慈濟志工也展開定期關懷，除了發放物質還有緊急救難金，志工每個月也定期前往醫院進行慰問，不間斷的付出，讓難民終於願意敞開心房跟志工透露心聲。


2. 昆山揭牌 Environmental education center

In Jiangsu(江蘇) Province, China, on June 18th, the Tzu Chi Kunshan(昆山) Environmental Education Center was officially established. The some 1,652 square meters space is filled with environmental concepts and an area in which members of the public can get hands-on experience in practicing recycling.

江蘇昆山，慈濟環保教育基地在十八號正式啟用，占地近1652平方公尺的環保教育基地，除了有許多環保資訊，還有一個場地讓民眾可以動手做環保。


3. 菲父親節發放 Happy Father`s Day celebration

In the Philippines, local Tzu Chi volunteers recently invited 219 care recipients to the local Tzu Chi Chapter to celebrate Father`s Day, which is celebrated on June 16th in the country. During the event, volunteers not only distributed aid supplies to care recipients but also seized the chance to educate the children`s understanding and appreciation for their father`s hard work.

在菲律賓，當地慈濟志工邀請219照顧戶，到當地的慈濟分會參與6月16日的父親節活動，活動中，志工不但發送物資給照顧戶，更利用這個機會教育孩子去了解父親的辛勞。


4. 菲職訓成果 Training program changes lives

To give children of underprivileged families a chance to change their lives for the better, the Tzu Chi Philippines Chapter established the Livelihood Training Program. Through the 4-month course, trainees develop skills that will eventually help them find jobs. Recently, 40 students graduated from the course and said, thanks to the program, their futures are now full of opportunities.

為了讓清寒家庭的孩子有機會扭轉命運，慈濟菲律賓分會成立了技職訓練班，透過四個月的課程，這些學員所學到的技能就能幫助他們就業，最近40位技職訓練的學生畢業了，他們說，因為這個訓練班他們的未來充滿著機會。


5. 柏魯義診環保 13-year commitment to village

For 13 years running, TIMA and Tzu Chi volunteers from Malaysia`s Kedah have been holding free clinics in the village of Bolu, which suffers from a lack of medical resources due to its remote location. In the years that Tzu Chi has been serving the village, volunteers have noticed positive changes in the residents including a stronger emphasis on recycling and volunteering. At their most recent clinic, volunteers not only continued with their ongoing medical care, but also took time to educate the villagers on simple yet important medical topics.

連續第13年，馬來西亞吉打人醫會醫師和慈濟志工 固定來到柏魯村進行義診，柏魯村地處偏遠醫療資援缺乏，慈濟志工多年的義診也看見村民有所改變，他們開始投入做環保，最近一次的義診活動中，志工不但繼續衛教宣導並教育村民重要的醫療知識。


6. 城市運轉手(2) ABRI Fire Experiment Center

Last year, fire accidents in Taiwan have decreased significantly. This is all thanks to a group of scientists who have dedicated themselves to improving on fire safety measures and making sure the materials that go into our buildings meet fire resistant standards. These scientists endure high heat, harmful vapors, tedious preparation and clean-up, and the solitary life of a scientist, just to save lives. Here are the engineers of the Architecture and Building Research Institute`s Fire Experiment Center under the Ministry of Interior.

去年全台灣火災事件明顯減少，這是因為有一群科學家默默做著研究，提升防火安全措施，也確保建材的防火功能，他們默默忍受高溫、惡臭的毒氣，繁瑣的準備與清掃工作與做實驗的孤獨，只為了守護生命，以下是內政部建築研究所防火實驗室的工程師。


7. 校園單車傳愛 Grandpa Huang`s gift

Liyues(鯉魚) Elementary School is situated in a remote village in Nantou(南投) County, Taiwan. This year, seven students will be graduating from the school and they have all been gifted with a new bicycle from the school`s former employee, Grandpa Huang(黃). Although not materially affluent, for the past nine years, the senior has gifted some 50 bicycles to the school`s graduates so that those who study further away from home, may have their own transport to get to school.

鯉魚國小位於在南投縣的偏遠村莊裡，這間學校今年只有七名畢業生，但每名畢業學生都獲得一台全新的腳踏車，新車來自於曾經在學校擔任，工友的黃爺爺雖然家境不富裕，但他連續九年來，買了五十多台腳踏車送給畢業學生，好讓他們上國中時可以有自己的代步工具。


8. 唐氏症泳士 Star swimmer, Xu Zheyuan

Sixteen-year-old Xu Zheyuan (許哲源) of Taichung, Taiwan was diagnosed with Down Syndrome when he was just one and a half years old. Despite his illness, his parents never gave up on him and have supported his passion for swimming. At the 2012 World Down Syndrome Swimming Championships, Xu(許) was awarded two silver and two bronze medals. Not only is he a talented swimmer, but a shining star of Taiwan as well.

在台灣十六歲的許哲源，一歲半時發現罹患唐氏症，得到疾病爸媽不僅不放棄也一直支持他對游泳的熱心，許哲源在2012年的世界盃唐氏症游泳錦標賽贏得兩銀兩銅的獎項，不但游出成就感，也是台灣之星。


9. 警察慰勞 Supporting police officers

To better care for police officers, Tzu Chi volunteers in Taipei, Taiwan have been paying regular visits to local police stations. There, volunteers not only helped these public servants monitor their health, but also provided them with much needed emotional support.

在台灣，慰勞警察人民保母，慈濟志工定期到派出所關懷，志工不但為他們守護健康也給予精神上的幫助。


10. 警察節護大地 Go vegetarian on Police Day

To commemorate Police Day in Taiwan, Tzu Chi volunteers prepared vegetarian meals for officers in Pingtung`s(屏東) Ligang(里港) Precinct. The vegetarian event has been ongoing for seven consecutive years, and many police officers have come to cherish the opportunity to celebrate this event with the Buddhist NGO.

為了慶祝警察節的到來，慈濟志工在屏東里港分局舉辦齋戒活動，活動已經連續舉辦七年，警察同仁把握這個茹素的機會跟著慈濟 一起慶祝。


END：馬校慶環保
At the end of the show, we return to Malaysia, where a middle school in Malacca celebrated its centennial anniversary. As large gatherings also resulted in an equally large amount of trash left over, the school established sorting bins on each floor, as well, Tzu Chi was on site to set up a recycling point. We will leave you with these images. Thank you for watching Da Ai Headlines. See you tomorrow.

節目最後來到馬來西亞，馬六甲培風中學舉行校慶，人潮帶來大量垃圾，學校在各樓層設置回收箱，慈濟也在現場設立環保站，一起來看看，感恩收看，再會。
