慈濟為賑濟海地災民發起 「一人一帳篷、一人一日糧」募捐活動
在海地地震災後滿一個月，許多的慈善團體即將陸續撤離災區時，慈濟持續送愛到海地，前後已動員七個梯次賑災、醫療志工，並將繼續為海地災民的中長期復建家園而努力。目前全美正展開「一人ㄧ帳篷、一人ㄧ日糧」募集眾人愛心送海地，幫助海地災民渡過難關。
慈濟海地賑災團在當地進行義診、發放、以工代賑、以工供糧的活動，全方位的同步推動。截止到2月11日，已發放物資有8噸的香積飯、2.8頓大米、22.3噸玉米粉、17噸紅豆、52公斤麵粉、6,500個環保碗、4,400個湯匙、3,400個水桶及水桶蓋，共嘉惠2,944戶(12,679人)。義診1,604人次。
志工也在美國總會執行長葛濟捨的帶領下，拜會海地總理貝爾利福先生，得到海地政府的協助，已提供500套流動廁所並將蓋臨時公廁解決最急需衛生問題以避雨季來臨時的疫情發生; 目前正尋找適合的土地，讓慈濟盡快在海地援建大愛村。
由於海地雨季即將來臨，慈濟美國總會將已募集到的1,000頂帳篷、29,030片塑膠防雨布，陸續已於2月18日起送達海地災民手中，讓他們有遮風避雨之安身處。另外，自從慈濟人抵達海地，了解災民最需要的是「食物、帳蓬、醫療衛生、重建」。因此目前進行的「以工供糧」提供三餐熱食計劃，將擴大施行的點及範圍，除了幫災民清理自己的家園，也解決更多災民溫飽之需。
慈濟發放直接將賑災物資送到海地災民手中，並和災民互動，了解災民們是和善並有互助之本性。本著慈濟救災原則，慈濟志工將走到最前，親手發放，做到最後;未來中、長期的計畫，需要大家的愛心共同護持，捐$10可以幫助海地一家五口人一日的糧食，捐$30可以買一頂四人用的帳棚，讓災民免於餐風露宿，希望社區大德能踴躍響應，幫助更多的災民，及時解決他們的困境。

Tzu Chi Fundraising Campaign for Haiti
“$10 to feed a family of 5 and $30 to shelter a family”
A month after the devastating earthquake impacted Haiti, Buddhist Tzu Chi Foundation (“Tzu Chi”) continues its service while many charity organizations are departing from the disaster zone. Seven teams of Tzu Chi disaster response and medical volunteers were deployed in rotation. A mid to long term disaster recovery plan is in progress to provide housing settlement for the displaced families. Hence, Tzu Chi initiates fundraising campaign – “$10 to feed a family of 5 and $30 to shelter a family” to help Haitian meet their challenges for survival.
Medical mission, relief aid distribution, cash for work, and food for work programs are going on simultaneously. As of February 11, 2010, summary of relief aid distributed were as following: 8 tons of instant rice, 2.8 tons of rice, 22.3 tons of corn meal, 17 tons of beans, 52 Kg of flour, 6500 reusable bowls, 4400 spoons, and 3400 buckets and lids. 2944 families (or 12,679 people) were benefited. For medical mission, 1604 patients were treated in free clinic.
Due to the coming rainy season, Tzu Chi has collected and delivered 1,000 tents and 29,030 tarps on February 18, 2010 to provide shelters from the weather.
Local residents have repeatedly indicated the most urgent needs are food, shelter, medical service/hygiene, and returning to their lives prior to the earthquake. Tzu Chi food for work program will step up its coverage to provide hot meals as payment for employment. Local residents were hired to clean debris out of their own homes and neighborhood.
Mr. William Keh, Chief Executive Officer, led the meeting with Haitian Prime Minister, Mr. Jean-nay Bellerive, to provide 500 mobile toilets for sanitation and prevention of disease outbreak. Permanent housing settlement and more temporary public toilets are in planning with support from the government. Please support Tzu Chi relief operation in Haiti to help more displaced and hungry families to survive.
For all donations, please make check payable to Tzu Chi Foundation and mail to Tzu Chi Boston Service Center, 15 Summer Street, Newton, MA 02464. Credit card donation hotline: 1-888-989-8244.

證嚴上人的叮嚀與靜思語 Master Cheng Yen’s Teaching and Jing-Si Aphorisms:
• 做世間事，十有八九不能稱心如意，所以一定要以很開闊的心去善解、包容他人，去除人我的對立，才不會被煩惱糾纏。
While hardly everything will meet our expectation in life, do not let those negative experience trouble you. Try accommodating others’ opinions and resolving conflicts with an open mind may prove a lot easier for you to achieve your goal.
• 付出一分愛心，就能獲得一分福業；捨掉一分執著，就能增長一分智慧！
Fortune increases with more devotion while wisdom grows with less obstinacy.
• 人不怕犯錯，只怕不改過；誠實的懺悔，才能恢復心地的清淨。
People should not be afraid of making mistakes. As long as we acknowledge their shortcomings honestly, we shall soon regain our peace.
• 一天到晚老想著──誰對不起我，就會很痛苦。若轉個念頭想──我要感恩誰，就會很快樂。
Do not be bothered by those who might have done injustice to you in the past. Instead, you will be a lot happier if you keep those who helped you before in mind.
• 世間每個人的境遇與責任都不相同，如果不懂得知足、惜福，老是羨慕別人比自己有錢、比自己出名，則永遠比不完，日子會過得非常痛苦。
Everyone encounters unique circumstance and experience during their lifetime. To envy others for their accomplishment, fame, or wealth only adds more misery instead of fulfillment into your life.
• 所謂「行行出狀元」，人人各有自己的優點與專長，只要安守本分、真誠付出，就是心安理得、充實快樂的人生。
Excellency can be achieved no matter what profession you have chosen. Life would be fulfilled as long as ones could recognize their own strength and weakness, work hard, and act honestly.
• 人生苦在『執著』，有執著就有痛苦；能不執著，則一切皆樂。
All our misery is caused by our obstinacy and intransigence. We could regain our happiness by giving up our stubbornness.

證嚴上人的叮嚀與靜思語 Master Cheng Yen’s Teaching and Jing-Si Aphorisms:
• 人生的苦，苦在哪？是『心』打結，看不開！人的生命終有盡頭，盡人事後就不要再操心煩惱。
Give your best effort and leave the rest to fate. Do not let worry and despair trouble your mind.
• 人會迷失，是因心有貪念，其實衣食住行適用就好，簡單而踏實地生活，人生自會平安幸福。
People lost their way because of greed. Life will be filled with peace and joy as long as you keep it simple and steadfast.
• 當今社會人心混亂，不能等到自修有成才做事，必須把握時間去做淨化人心的工作。
People today are constantly confused by propaganda and misinformation. We should set out to counter those improper influences and to enlighten people’s mind instead of pursuing our own salvation ony.
• 期待人人「慎勿放逸」，及時把握健康、能自主的時刻，淨化自心，發揮利益人群的良能。
Everyone should keep vigilant from those undue influences and apply their times and efforts to benefit the humankind when their health still allows it.
