Typhoon Morakot

莫拉克颱風災情支援網

在美國一直以來,我們大家不分宗教及種族,都默默地在參與天主教,基督教及慈濟所舉辦的各式各樣的慈善活動.從1999年9月21日到現在,大家因慈善從陌生人而變成了一群交心的好朋友.
去年,因為受人之託,開始關注領養台灣孤兒一事,由於如此,我開始一系列造訪偏遠孤兒院一事.

當我進入偏遠山區及村落,我才注意到,大部份非官方的孤兒院都是教會主辦,且常年以來,孤兒院的食宿都非常簡樸.而附近的在地居民與十字架及教會的感情,很濃.比起我在當地喝的咖啡還濃,而且在山裏,空氣真是 "新鮮又帶點甜味"的呢,心情上真是輕鬆 ......

令人感動的事,當災難發生時,電視上看到的都是佛教慈濟人,搶進災區送救濟品 (有一種用礦泉水就能泡的飯,既乾淨又實際, 建議大家有機會試試 :)), 看到這一幕幕患難見真情的景像,在美國慈濟尚未發動捐款的同時,大家不就一群群開始就利用各種方法捐錢給慈濟.

是的,我想跟大家分享的是,只要踩在台灣的土地上,各宗教都是慈悲擁抱的.
慈濟救災經驗與智慧,在台灣,無人能比;但教會長期深耕偏遠部落,卻有安定受災人心的功用.
常年深耕災區的教會要先清理乾淨,小孩及人大才有清靜的地方可去.未來,政府要借地方給小孩上課,或災民心中的無奈與怨氣,也才會有地方可以平靜.
錢捐那裏都一樣,只要用在該用的地方,有需要的人即時受惠,錢到那個宗教, 你還計較嗎?!




Dear my friends,
We only provided my service for the needy/charity.
Our friend Ying-ming is a Christian, and her sister (Fuang-min Huang) currently lives in Taiwan . Her church(安樂聖教會: http://blog.sina.com.tw/peacefuljoy/) are members who helped the flood victims of 8/8/09 . They are planning to collect money to purchase flashlights, batteries, medicine, daily commodities, and food. If you would like to make a donation please let me know ASAP so that I can tell Mrs. Peggy Chen how many and what items we will contribute. (Rex & Peggy Chen are representing the charity for us in TAIWAN )

Everyone who donates something will receive a donation receipt issued by the Evergreen Home Care Inc., USA. The donation recipients will also sign the donation acknowledgement form, so that we can post them on web site for everyone to view.

我們只做 charity 的事.
我們的好友英敏是位基督徒,她妹妹黃芳敏住在台灣,她的教會(安樂聖教會: http://blog.sina.com.tw/peacefuljoy/) 的弟兄姐妹們將前進災區去做義工,協助災民. 他們正在募資購買所需物品：手電筒、日用品、泡麵、乾糧、藥品、米…等前進災區.
如果您想盡點棉薄之力,請告訴我們.珮玲(佩玲是我們在台灣做慈善的執行人)會盡快讓他們知道我們總共可以認購多少項目. 你們所有的捐款項目,都可以收到 Evergreen Home care 的捐款收據.
而所有領到您們愛心的人,都會簽簽收單,屆時,我們會 post 在網頁上,讓大家都看得的.
Thanks

YEAR 2009 (2009年活動)
Dear Friends,
Time is really flying fast. It is almost one year ago that we were busy in selling the moon cakes for the 2009 back-to-school project fundraising…and we had made $506 in proceeds. Remember that?

We also helped the lady who lives in N. VA by selling the pears back in April. (To learn the full story). We had put away $400 as a reserved fund in case she needs it. The good news is that she has found a job and does not need the money after all. In return to everyone’s help, she donated the money toward the 2009 Back-to-School project also.

With these two funding sources, plus we also had a few dollars left over from previous donation, that gave us a total amount of $912.33 for the Back-to-School project this year.

Below is the summary report of the 2009 Back-to-School project:
This year we have worked with four charity organizations in DC, Baltimore MD, and Bethesda MD area and helped more than 100 students. Some of them are from the low-income families, some are living in the shelters, and some are homeless. All money is spent on the school supplies solely. Volunteers came together to give their time and gasoline for their car for purchasing, sorting, packaging and delivering these items to various locations. Whenever there are shortage in some items, volunteers donate willingly. For the details of school supplies purchased, receipts, pictures and donations, you can find them below.

親愛的朋友們,
記得去年九月初我們為 2009 back-to-school project義賣的月餅嗎?當初我們賺了 $506 US.同時,在今年四月份的義賣水梨(故事的原委請見網頁),原先接受大家幫助的人,受到大家人飢己飢,人溺己溺無私奉獻的感召,在她找到工作後,將當初所剩的$400US,也捐出來做為2009 back-to-school 的基金.
再加上之前其它慈善活動所剩下的錢,本年度的 back-to-school的總基金是$912.33
我現在要跟您做個結餘報告:
今年我們一共與四個慈善單位合作,這四個慈善單位來自DC, Baltimore, MD and Bethsda, MD,這些文具幫助一百多位的學童,他們分別是來自DC低收入戶的家庭,有些住在僻護所,及一些流浪在街上的孩子們.所有協助採買及運送到各單位的義工的油錢及時間都是義工自行吸收, 依照我們大家當初的協定, $912.33 全數花在文具上面.當然,還有不足的部份,全由其它義工慷慨解囊.
所採買的文具細項,收據,照片及感謝函等,全數放在網頁供大家參考及見證.

所有四個單位被協助單位的文具細目及單據如下:
