祈願 疫情止息 災難不再,大家平安!
May all be safe from this pandemic! And may this pandemic quickly ends!
新冠病毒疫情延燒世界各國…
The new coronavirus (covid19) spreads throughout the world.....
尼泊爾,在政府實施封城後,那些從外地來加德滿都討生活的人,沒了工作,當然也沒了錢。原來就是因為“窮”才來城市討生活的。這病毒的來臨對他們而言真是雪上加了霜!想回家鄉,也因為《封城》,回不了家!
更慘的是那些都市底層的「歹命人」,原本就是靠著零星的打工才能維持著〈活下去〉,如今也沒了零工可打,只能有一餐沒一餐的過日子。
In Nepal, the government had lockdown its capital, Kathmandu which disrupted the livelihood of the people especially those who had come to the city looking for jobs. Most of them survived on part-time jobs and now that there is no work to do they cannot even go home because of the lockdown.
整個城市仿佛就像沒了鐘擺的時鐘,停擺了!工作停擺了、收入停擺了、生活停擺了… 但…是,肚子的需求卻沒有停擺!!
這些被“生活”逼迫的苦命人,邁著蹣跚無力的腳步,來到基金會尋求協助……
希望基金會能幫他們…給他們帶來幫助,幫他們度過這個難關。
Everything in the city has come to a standstill, like a clock without its pendulum! But there is no stopping for the stomach! These poorly affected people came a knocking at the Foundation’s doorstep.... with a glimmer of hope seeking for help.
當身在台灣的仁波切接收到來自身處加德滿都的尼瑪喇嘛所轉來的這些民眾的求助訊息時,立即請尼瑪喇嘛和森給慈善基金會志工規劃發放「油、米、豆子…」給處在挨餓痛苦中的人。
When Rinpoche, who is in Taiwan, received these messages from Nyima lama who is in Nepal, he immediately told Nyima lama to make plans and arrangements to distribute food like rice, oil, beans etc so as to ease their hunger.
基金會正積極準備米、豆子和食用油等食物,準備配合尼泊爾地方政府在加德滿都先發放食物包給因為疫情而完全失去收入的家庭。
The Foundation is preparing food packages to be distributed, in Kathmandu, to those families who had totally lost their income.
目前尼泊爾境內仍實施封城管制,有活動時間的限制。所以基金會志工要購買、搬運這些食物相當不容易!但基金會的腳步不能停歇,無論多麼困難腳步仍然得踏出…
However, the Foundation’s volunteers’ tasks will be challenging due to the lockdown restrictions on the timing of activities,
