1. 南馬大水發放
Welcome to Da Ai Headlines. I'm Siri Su. Thank you for joining us. A serious flood has devastated southern Malaysia, causing disasters in seven out of ten counties in Johor Bahru. Tzu Chi volunteers went to the shelter to understand the needs of the affected residents. They've also given out blankets and aid supplies. Let's take a look.

2. 上人台東歲末
Dharma Master Cheng Yen visited Taitung to certify new Tzu Chi volunteers and attend a year-end blessing ceremony. 400 volunteers attended in person while 850 teams in 12 countries attended online. Master Cheng Yen also encouraged every Tzu Chi volunteer to make a concerted effort for all living beings. Let's join them there.

3. 珠海歲末祝福
The end-of-year blessing ceremony in Zhuhai, China, was a smaller event this year because of the pandemic. Despite the smaller scope, everyone enjoyed coming together and praying for a safer world. Let's join them there.

4. 臨沂入戶送暖
In 2012, there was a flood in Linyi, Shandong. Tzu Chi volunteers went there for disaster relief. Since then, volunteers went there every winter to send winter supplies. They gave a thick jacket to a 80-year-old grandma who still takes care of her bedridden son. They also cheered up a 7-year-old boy who worries about his mother's health. Let's take a look.

5. 連城入戶送暖
In China, Tzu Chi volunteers from Xiamen and Fujian came to Liancheng County for the second visit in the cold winter. In addition to giving out aid supplies, volunteers also comforted the residents' hearts. Let's take a look at how Tzu Chi volunteers provide support to families in need.

《靜思語》自愛是報恩，付出是感恩。
Cherishing our life is a way to repay our parents. Giving of ourselves is a way to show gratitude.

6. 雪隆義賣援菲
Tzu Chi volunteers in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor initiated an online charity sale in order to help typhoon affected residents in the Philippines. The entire process was online and remote due to the current ongoing pandemic. Let's take a look.

7. 拉羅馬那熱食
In Dominican Republic, Tzu Chi volunteers assisted in the pandemic prevention efforts, sending hot meals and supply packages to 52 elderly and disabled residents. The volunteers hope that they can have a holiday season free of worries. Let's join them there.

8. 檳城陳來蓉推素
More and more people are eating vegetarian food and visiting special veggie restaurants. However, some people find it troublesome to cook their own veggie food. A Tzu Chi volunteer from Penang, Malaysia, posts her vegetarian recipes online. She's even eager to share her food with neighbors so that more people can fall in love with vegetarian food. Let's meet this passionate Tzu Chi volunteer.

9. 星移工交流
COVID-19 pandemic has been changing the way people live. In Singapore, migrant workers became the largest group of infection. On the International Migrants Day 2020, Tzu Chi Humanistic Youth Centre, held a Reflections on 2020 seminar. In the seminar, participants shared their experiences relating to the pandemic. Let's join them there.

10. 未來學力(3)滾動式修正
Since the new curriculum was launched last year, the impact seems to be mixed as both schools and students face new challenges. For example, schools have to offer more elective courses without the addition of new teachers. This means more overtime work for teachers, which has become the norm for teachers. In addition, more students are showing an interest in such courses, leading to more demand. Here is our report.

END: 普明寺清掃
Puming temple is where Dharma Master Cheng Yen cultivated herself in her early years. 52 volunteers participated in the annual cleanup of the temple. We will leave you with these images. Thank you for joining us. Goodbye.
