Use my clothes to warm your heart
--A side note of the charity event at Shunyi Sun Village by students from the w88 casino
w88 casino News Network (Reporter Meng Fangmin) In late autumn in Beijing, the north wind is already blowing. But the students of the w88 casino sent deep warmth to the children of Sun Village in Shunyi, Beijing.
Howling cold wind Nuan Nuan True Love
This charity event is part of the Financial Carnival series of activities.On December 8, the Student Union of the w88 casino of Finance held a donation ceremony in front of the Economic and w88 Canteen. In just one noon, a large amount of clothing, toys and other study and daily necessities were collected. One classmate even donated his bicycle. They carefully selected items suitable for children, especially the clothes they needed for winter, packed them into more than 20 packages and sent them to Sun Village.
Shunyi Sun Village is located in Banqiao Village, Shunyi County, Beijing. It is a charity organization built with private donations and adopts 115 children of various ages. The youngest of them is only one year old, and the eldest is over eighteen years old. What is very special is that the parents of these children are serving sentences in prison. They have lost the love of their parents and no care from other relatives. But fortunately, they came to Sun Village and had the opportunity to learn cultural knowledge and grow up healthily and happily.
At 7:30 in the morning on November 13th, the students who volunteered to go to Sun Village to show their love gathered early in front of the Boxue Building, preparing to use their sincerity and sincerity to bring joy and smiles to the children of Sun Village. In order to understand the living conditions of the children there, reporters from the news network also boarded the bus to Shunyi. After more than an hour of trekking, we finally arrived at Sun Village. When I got out of the car, the first thing I saw were several huts of different colors. Many children followed the "loving mothers" or other volunteers, cleaning with brooms and dustpans, and the whole garden was a busy scene. We unloaded the clothes, toys and other supplies we brought into the car and delivered them to the office building in the village. When the children saw these things, their eyes shone with joy. It seems that these things are what they need, and the students are happy that their own efforts can help them.
According to Mr. Li from Sun Village who received us, there were probably more than a hundred people from various schools coming to visit today. Moreover, the "Encounter" program team of the Central Television Station 7 will be doing a program there this afternoon. There are nine love huts in the park, eight of which areIt was built in 2004, and the new nursery room was just completed this year. There is also a farm with an area of about 260 acres outside the park to solve part of the financial problem. There is a bronze plaque hanging on the door of each cabin, engraved with the name of the company, unit or individual who donated the building. The huts are allocated to children according to age and gender. Each hut has a "loving mother" who is responsible for taking care of the children's daily life and daily affairs. Many of these children are studying in nearby elementary and middle schools and living a life like normal children.
The road is dangerous Still moving forward
After Teacher Li introduced the situation, everyone divided into several groups and went to each cabin to visit the children. The author followed several of the classmates to a small room. The people living in this cabin are fromGirls aged 7 to 13 years old. The room looked very clean and tidy, with the bedding, table tops, toilets, etc. all in order and spotless. Some of the walls of the room are decorated with awards received by the children, and some are decorated with photos or posters of their favorite celebrities. There are also many small pendants and other things in the room, creating a unique warm feeling in a girl's room. When we entered, the children were picking soybeans and preparing to grind the good beans into soy milk. Everyone squatted down and helped the children work together.
While everyone was busy, the phone suddenly rang. It turned out that the father of a child named Xiaoru called her from his hometown in Henan. She hurriedly asked another child to call her brother to answer the phone. This is somewhat surprising. It is rare to see two siblings together in Sun Village. In her eyes, being able to come to Sun Village is a very happy thing. Sun Village implements a self-funded and free care method. Part of all daily expenses come from social donations, and some are maintained by the garden's own orchard and vegetable plot, without charging the children a penny. She feels that although life in the village is not very wealthy, it is very peaceful. They get up at five o'clock every morning in the summer to go out to work, and continue to work after studying in the afternoon. Overall, it is quite hard. But the children have no complaints, because all this hardship and fatigue is for them to live a better life. It can be said that they are creating their own future with their own hands.
But why does Sun Village want to build its own farm? The teacher in the village answered this question.Since Sun Village is a non-governmental organization (i.e.NGO), there is no government funding, and all expenses are raised from the society. However, due to the lack of social financing, Sun Village hopes to meet part of the funds on its own to ensure the children's basic life. The farm is a bold attempt: Sun Village leased 260 acres of land and put it into production in April 2002, planting jujube trees, peanuts, corn, soybeans and other crops. At present, output and input are basically the same, and there is no profit yet. During holidays, children also go to the fields to do some work within their capabilities (such as pulling weeds). On the one hand, they can exercise their bodies; on the other hand, it also cultivates their spirit of enduring hardship and their awareness of self-reliance.
It can be seen that the funds in the village are still quite tight. In many cases, the children cannot even eat meat three times a day. At this time, the teachers in the kindergarten will kill livestock such as pigs and chickens on the farm for the children to eat. Moreover, due to the relatively single type of social donations, many daily necessities such as medicines, w88 casino supplies, office supplies, etc. are extremely scarce. Therefore, Sun Village is still looking forward to the attention and help from all walks of life.
Hardness of life Mental numbness
After completing the one-day charity act in Sun Village, everyone felt happy on the way back, but at the same time, they were also deeply thinking. Because judging from the interviews and communication with the children, what is lacking there is not only funds and materials, but also ideas and spirit.
During the morning exchange activities, there was a boy who seemed special. He seems to be the leader of this group of children, always directing everyone and assigning labor tasks to everyone. There was a sparkle in his eyes that other children didn't have, so we deliberately pulled him out of the busy crowd and had a little chat with him.
His name is Li Huaming, this yearAt the age of 14, his mother was sentenced to a fixed-term prison sentence for a crime. His father abandoned him and then married again. He is in the third grade of junior high w88 casino this year. Since he was about to graduate from junior high w88 casino, when asked if he had ever thought about whether to go to high w88 casino or a vocational high w88 casino after graduation, he said that he had not thought about this issue, but he still wanted to go to university, especially Tsinghua and Peking University. Having said this, he smiled honestly.
Li Huaming usually goes to w88 casino in the nearby Banqiao Middle w88 casino, and his classmates all live in the nearby Banqiao Village. But he usually doesn't have the chance to go out and play with his classmates because he is not allowed to go out. Therefore, his daily life is basically spent in the garden. He said that he is a person who likes to read books, especially books on computers and history, and hopes to be admitted to a university that specializes in computers. The author smiled and asked him if there was such a university. He thought about it and said seriously, there should be, at least when I go to college. A classmate jokingly asked him to open such a university. He sighed softly, how much does it cost to open a university. The author asked him, is money important to him? He said that when he was a child, he didn't think money was too important. But since his mother's accident, life has not been guaranteed and money can improve his life. "If I had1 million, I will open a company; if I have 10 million, I will open a larger company; if I have 100 million, I will open a place similar to Sun Village. "These are very simple words, but they well reflect the psychological state of the children in Children's Sun Village.
Perhaps due to the lack of communication with society for a long time, the children here appear to have a narrow range of knowledge and are immature in how to behave. They have a very poor understanding of social reality, especially in terms of how to protect their rights and interests through legitimate means. They have almost no idea. The following conversation may prove something.
Reporter: "Now your mother is in prison, what about your father?"
Li: “He got married again after my mother went in, and now he has another child. ”
Reporter: “Then he has never come to see you? ”
Li: "No. He never seemed to regard me as his child. I have always lived with my aunt and uncle, and they are the best people in the world to me."
Reporter: "Then why don't you ask for alimony from your father? You are still a minor, and your father has the responsibility and obligation to support you."
李(with a confused expression on his face): "I...I don't know. Oh, what's there to sue for? To be honest, it's just for money. He's my dad after all."
Reporter: "Then did he ever regard you as his son?"
Li: "…No…” (Then he fell into a long silence.)
Reporter: "When you have something unhappy, who do you tell it to? Or who to communicate with? ”
Li: "Yes, but it's not a human, it's a toy orangutan. (Laughs) It turns out that when I was sad, at two or three o'clock in the middle of the night, I took the orangutan in my arms and went to the cemetery in the northwest corner of the garden, talked to the orangutan, and cried silently……”
The situation of other children is similar to Li Huaming, or even worse than him. They live in a relatively closed environment, and the only people they come into contact with in their daily lives are other children around them. Too narrow a living circle makes them more introverted. And because they rarely go into society, their thoughts obviously tend to be simple, and they do not have a clear goal and direction for their lives. They basically hold the idea of "living one day at a time". It can be said that they have become numb to life. The hardships of life have not knocked them down, but this mental numbness is likely to ruin their lives.
Have you ever considered the people who care about Sun Village, besides their lives, their thoughts and spirits? A person cannot survive on material things alone. Without the support of spiritual power, life will be meaningless. Therefore, when good-hearted people in society cast their pity on that land, they should care about them not only from a material aspect, but also from an ideological perspective. What they need may be a book they like, maybe just someone to talk to, or maybe just someone who can give them some advice on their life path choices.
Conclusion We need more love here
The day passed very quickly. After only communicating with the children in the garden for a short time, we had to leave. But we didn’t bring too many regrets, because we not only gave them some necessary clothes for winter, but also let them know some of the current situation of society and learn more about life through conversations with them. And the students also learned a lot from the children, a lot……
I also hope that more people can pay attention to Sun Village and care for this group of special children.
