Dear Generous Tzu Chi Benefactor: Thanks to your support, Tzu Chi has continuously brought hope to the suffering for forty-seven years. In the past year, US Tzu Chi volunteers extended their helping hands to offer material and spiritual support to the disaster survivors after tornadoes in the Midwest, wildfires in the West, and floods in the East. Internationally, US Tzu Chi volunteers and donors provided not only short term disaster relief, but also long term development to revi-talize the communities. Tzu Chi has built thirteen schools in Si-Chuan, China following the 2008 earthquake, one thousand homes in Taiwan following the 2009 Morakot Flood, three community centers in South Africa for AIDS orphans, and is currently building three schools in Haiti following the 2010 earthquake. In Northern California, the individual cases assisted by Tzu Chi’s charity program have doubled, while several thousand patients received free services through Tzu Chi’s medical and dental outreach programs. Tzu Chi’s Happy Campus Program has served seven underprivileged schools in the Bay Area, while the number of students awarded by Tzu Chi college scholarship more than doubled. With the country’s recent economic struggles, these services are needed more than ever. In order to meet the ever increasing social service needs, Tzu Chi launched a long-term plan to build a campus of six service centers in San Jose two years ago. They include a medical clinic, a senior service center, a youth education center, a community education center, an en-vironmental conservation center, and a disaster shelter. The first phase of the plan has been approved by the City and construction will start by the end of this year, with completion expected by the end of next year. On October 27 and 28, 2012 we will be holding a musical charity concert to continue raising funds for the service centers. We sincerely invite you to join. Together, we will make our community better.

Sincerely,

Minjhing HsiehExecutive DirectorBuddhist Tzu Chi Foundation, Northwest Region

敬愛的善心大德：

感恩您的護持，讓慈濟於四十七年的歲月裏，持續在黑暗中點亮一盞燈，為苦難人帶來希望。

過去一年，不論美國中部的風災、西部的火災、東部的水患等，慈濟志工及時伸出援手。中美洲發生嚴重水患，美國慈濟人突破人力和資源的挑戰，前往賑災。海地強震逾兩年半，慈濟援建學校、濟助貧童，並培育當地人成為志工。美國與南非的慈濟人合作，在南非完成三個社區中心，為愛滋孤兒進行餵食計畫。四川大地震，慈濟援建十三所學校；台灣八八風災，慈濟蓋大愛屋一千戶；日本震災，慈濟援助逾七千萬美元。災難雖過，慈濟的後續關懷未曾中斷。

在北加州地區，由於經濟不景氣，慈濟幫助的個案大幅增加，慈濟義診低收入戶超過一萬人次，「幸福校園計畫」協助七所貧困學校嘉惠學生逾千人，大學新生清寒獎學金更是去年的兩倍。為了因應日益增加的社會需求，兩年前慈濟在灣區推動「六大中心」計畫，包括：醫療門診中心、老人服務中心、少年教育中心、社教推廣中心、環保推廣中心、緊急庇護中心，如今第一階段規畫已取得聖荷西市政府的支持與核准，預定於年底開工，明年內完成。

今年10月27及28兩日，我們將以「音樂人文饗宴」的方式，再為北加州志業園區建設募款，誠摯邀請您一起參與，讓志業園區的一磚一瓦因為您的愛而發揮美善的力量。
