1.柬發放前置
I am Sean Scanlan. This is Da Ai Headlines. Let's get started. Cambodia experienced drought and flooding last year, devastating 20 provinces and cities. Many international organizations, including Tzu Chi, offered to help though the disaster relief work was delayed till January due to the pandemic. Residents have waited patiently for Tzu Chi's aid distribution. Here's more.

2.坎普林火送屋
In Northern California, many affected residents of the 2018 Camp Fire still live in tents. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, government funds originally meant for rebuilding were redirected to pandemic prevention, making the road to recovery even more difficult. Tzu Chi worked with the Camp Fire Collaborative, helping clients apply for prefab homes. After nearly two years' effort, success is finally being seen.

3.萬華歲末
In the Zhongzheng and Wanhua District of Taipei City, Tzu Chi held six community year-end-blessing ceremonies for three days in a row. Participants all came with the feeling of returning home to reunite. The atmosphere here is not only warm, but also grateful for each other, even rewriting a new chapter in life. Here's more.

4.澎湖歲末
Tzu Chi volunteers in Penghu held a year-end-blessing ceremony. Though it's freezing cold, 400 people still attended. Yang Yating, who attended events for around 10 years, brought her family here to celebrate. From only her mother's attendance to her family's participation, the family is experiencing happiness. Take a look.

《靜思語》
沒有受災就是福，能投入做幫助人的人，就是「福中福」。
Blessed are those who are not ravaged by calamities. The "blessed among the blessed" are people who can extend a helping hand to those in need.

Sanchong's year-end blessing ceremony has an environmental theme this year which made good use of the recyclable items collected during a beach cleaning. Large posters also showed the plight of the green sea turtle. Let's take a look.

7.檳城導遊轉業
Tony Cheong Chee Wai is a tour guide with more than 30 years of experience. However, the COVID-19 pandemic, caused him to lose his main source of income. A friend suggested he become a street performer visiting a shopping plaza every day where he plays a guitar and sings. Take a look.

8.檳城潮劇轉型
Goh Hooi Ling, who was born in a traditional puppet show family, recently opened an art space to teach courses in this topic. Despite the pandemic and movement restriction orders, she continues to do her best to preserve this ancient art form.
