一手 一手 百手 千手, reaching out hand in hand

I wanted to write something about my involvement with Tzu Chi for quite some time already and decided on writing a new blog. But I just cant think of a good name for the blog. That was till I watched the performance of Tzu Chi, Boston during their charity night. That first performance, the mini Guan Yin, was very nice and that gave me an idea. I went back home and goggled it; realize that master Zheng Yan believe that if everybody put in their own effort, we only need 500 people to form a Guan Yin with thousand hands.

想写我和慈济的缘分已经想了很久了，可是就是想不出个好听的名称，直到那天，慈济波士顿分会的大爱人文之夜。师兄、师姐、师伯、师姑们把“千手世界”表演的美轮美奂，给了我灵感。回家后，上网找到证严上人说过“集合五百人即成一尊千手观音”。

There, now that I got a name for my new blog, "reaching out hand in hand", I will slowly write down why I joined Tzu Chi, how I joined Tzu Chi and my involvement with Tzu Chi, both back in Singapore and presently in Boston. To reach out to both the English and Chinese speaking communities, I will write in both languages, very demanding and time consuming, so please bear with me if progress is slow.

我找到了我想要的名称了,“一手 一手 百手 千手”。日后，我会慢慢的把我为何加入慈济，如何加入慈济和我在慈济的活动（新加坡和波士顿分会）写下。为了方便中英读者，我将会用中英双语，很考功夫和费时。应此，如果进度缓慢，请见谅
