菲計順往診
Free dental service for Quezon residents
In the Philippines, Tzu Chi volunteers and TIMA doctors arrived in Quezon City to provide dental treatment for the poor residents. Among the volunteers was Mae Burce, whose son, with Tzu Chi's help received surgery for his cleft palate.
在菲律賓，慈濟志工和人醫會醫師來到計順市進行牙科往診，其中一位志工美布西，她的兒子因為慈濟的幫助、接受了唇顎裂的手術。
< Rare opportunity for poor residents >
In the Bray Masambong area of Quezon City in the Philippines, it is no easy task for residents to see a dentist, as poverty and inconvenience often stand in the way. Grateful for this rare chance, the villagers open their mouths wide to let the TIMA doctors do a thorough check up.
< Brave mother thanks Tzu Chi >
To ensure nobody misses out on the opportunity, Tzu Chi volunteers visit each household to promote the free clinic. Maria Bataller's daughter Charmela suffers from cerebral palsy and often has problems finding a dentist who will see her, therefore it has been a long time since she last had her teeth checked. Tzu Chi volunteers wheeled her to the dentist, who teaches her mother the correct way to brush Charmela's teeth. Maria says she's very moved.
Charmela's mother, Maria Victoria Bataller:
"I thank God for bringing you guys here, and for taking Charmela to see a dentist."
< Reconstituting to society >
Taking care of Charmela's life, Maria is undeterred by the hardship. She says the child is a gift from God. Mae Burce is another brave mother. Her son was a cleft palate sufferer, who with Tzu Chi's help, received surgery. This time, Mae Burce has joined the volunteers' ranks to help more needy people.
Tzu Chi volunteer, Mae Burce:
"Tzu Chi volunteers changed our lives. Because of their help, we were granted hope. I thought my son was going to have cleft palate all his life, but the volunteers gave us hope amidst all the poverty."
< From motherly love to Great Love >
Now Mae Burce takes part in any Tzu Chi event during her spare time. Turning her motherly love for her son into great love for society, the mother has shared her warmth and care with more people.
菲律賓計順市馬山繃里的居民，平常要看個牙可說是相當不容易，除了不方便也是因為貧困，大家抱著感恩的心情，張開嘴巴讓人醫會醫師好好檢查。
為了讓每個村民都能把握看牙的機會，慈濟志工走進村裡挨家挨戶的告知這個消息，其中瑪利雅的女兒嘉梅拉罹患腦性麻痺，讓她常找不到牙醫師，也因此嘉梅拉很久沒有檢查牙齒了。慈濟志工幫忙推輪椅護送嘉梅拉到醫生面前，醫師也教導媽媽平常幫嘉梅拉正確刷牙的方法，瑪利雅說她相當感動。
Charmela's mother, Maria Victoria Bataller：
「我感謝上帝讓你們來家裡，帶嘉梅拉去檢查牙齒。」
雖然嘉梅拉的日常生活都是媽媽在照顧，不過瑪利雅說不怕辛苦，說小孩是上帝送的禮物。而偉大的媽媽還有這一位美布西，她的兒子是曾經受過慈濟幫助的唇顎裂患者，這次美布西付出實際行動加入志工行列，幫助更多人。
Tzu Chi volunteer, Mae Burce：
「慈濟人改變了我們的生活，因為他們的幫助，我們有了希望。我原本以為兒子會一輩子唇顎裂，是慈濟人給了我們從貧困中站起來的希望。」
只要有空，美布西就會參加慈濟的活動，她把對兒子的小愛化成對社會的大愛，帶給更多人無私無所求的溫暖感受。
