I finished my lunch at home in a hurry. In the afternoon, I arranged my friends to help me look after it in the center and came to the activity site non-stop. The place is not big, and the teachers are arranged in an orderly way and are very careful. The names of caring companies and caring teams are posted on the wall, as well as carefully prepared thank-you cards (every sentence above varies from person to person, which can definitely be called "tailor-made").
The host of the annual meeting, Xiao Mizha (laughing that she is one of the few "free" hosts), opened the prelude of the annual meeting for us.
The first person to share it was a successful person. He was the chairman and general manager of Tea Book. He sponsored the annual meeting fee and milk tea. I didn't expect that he was a child who had been served by Schwab (I can't believe it, is it that the children of a large family ran away from home and lived on the streets? But this is not the case. He sincerely shared his personal experience, described his mental journey as a street child, and was embarrassed that his companions around him were not helped or correctly/positively guided to commit crimes. He changed his name and surname from an orphan whose parents died and settled down. Today (it has far surpassed an ordinary person like me who is well-off and has graduated from a prestigious school for many years and still has no achievements). I'm glad I met Schwab (although his success depends entirely on his own efforts). He told Schwab's children not to be ashamed of their unfortunate childhood, not to feel inferior, but to believe that they have all kinds of possibilities like others. I am even more ashamed. I often feel sorry for myself because I have no background and my family is ordinary. But compared with these Schwab children, I am so happy. As an only child, I have never felt too cold, too hungry or even too dangerous.
Director Wang of Schwab shared her achievements in recent years. They helped 1800 children (including street children, abandoned children, left-behind children, etc.). ) Teacher Li Jie shared her story with Jia Xin. As a master of psychology at Dayun University, she laughed at herself with the phrase "As soon as she entered the public welfare, she was as deep as the sea". She could have chosen other occupations with higher income and higher social status, but she is willing to be a social worker (and she is actually a rural high flyers with an ordinary family background), and she is proud of helping and influencing Jia Xin's children with her major, and has made little progress for them. Because although I often do some public welfare within my power, it is difficult for me to take this as a career (fortunately, I often flaunt that I don't attach much importance to material things and prefer to pursue social values).
There is also a beautiful sister from the development department of Children's Hope Foundation, who has shared it for the longest time. She also gave up the high-paying media industry and entered the public welfare. She talked about the current situation and urgency of child protection in China. Where the sun does not shine, there are so many shocking figures and cases. There are also public welfare people, who only give a part of themselves (insignificant compared with what they have) to help their children, but for them, there are many, even all-just like the family activities of our group, for us, we may give up only a few hours on weekends, play games and have fun, but what we get are happy smiles, spontaneous thanks, trust and closeness. She also mentioned that the children who received help showed simplicity and gratitude, and their wish was to "be like you" (not to say success, but to help others), which made people cry.
Mr. Li Rong, a well-known reporter of Spring City Evening News and chairman of Schwab, made a speech. Ma Yun said at the 19 charity dinner that charity should be low-key and high-profile. He thinks it is right, because high-profile charity can influence and attract more people and bring more resources to those in need. He really kept his word and pulled a lot of resources for Schwab. He laughed and said that many people who participated today were engaged in "pyramid schemes" by themselves. He also confessed his original intention of approaching and helping Schwab at first, because he was worried that his children would become one of Schwab's children (life is impermanent, who knows which will come first, tomorrow and accident? I am not so "pure" when I join the love group. I just hope that someone can help me when I need help, so that I can do my best to help others with empathy. )
There were many successful people attending the annual meeting that day. At first, I felt that wearing faded casual clothes was out of place, even a little inferior. But when I recall the years when our love group and Schwab went together, I am relieved that I have become attached to Schwab since then. Perhaps the money or materials we can pay are not as good as the resources of these well-funded and powerful enterprises and domestic businessmen. However, as grassroots, we are committed to cooking a weekend meal for Schwab's children and occasionally taking them out to get close to nature/enjoy food and so on. I don't think love and public welfare can be measured by amount. As long as we persist, our strength will condense into great energy, sow the seeds of hope and love in the hearts of these children, and influence and change their lives. And ourselves, too, will be baptized and sublimated by our own souls and become better and more beautiful ourselves (just like the beautiful and soft teacher Li Jie praised by my sister).
There may even be little Miza's personal experience ~ The girl she helped a few years ago became her son's kindergarten teacher, and the blessing came silently ~
So, don't hesitate to join us, start from our side and try our best to help those around us who need help. Together with Schwab, let's continue to care for children who have lost their parents and help and protect the children who need it around us.
