At noon, Mingkun took little Bernie to the trusteeship station.
Little Bernie was still dressed that day, full of energy, and seemed very happy.
When they came, Tang wanwan and Gao Shan were in a hurry around the month old baby.
Although he is the youngest, it is not easy to count him in a room of children.
In the morning, it's hard for Tang wanwan and Gao Shan to change their diapers and feed their babies.
After drinking the milk powder, the diaper has just been changed. Why does this little guy keep crying
Seeing this, little Bernie went forward and picked up the child.
Although he is young, his height can't reach Tang wanwan's shoulder, but the posture of holding the child is very skillful.
It's really strange that little Bernie didn't cry when he hugged and coaxed him.
Tang wanwan and Gao Shan gather around to learn from little Bernie. When they ask, they know that little Bernie's mother, in order to make money, sometimes takes care of children.
This kind of work pays a high salary, but also manages lunch. When the master's family is good, he can take little Bernie to help clean up and do housework. The children have no money, but it's good to have lunch.
"But it's hard to find such a job now..."
Even Tang wanwan knows that looking after children is not an easy job, but for people who are suffering from poverty, they are not afraid of hardship. What they are afraid of is that they don't even have the opportunity to make money.
Only the high salary can make people crazy to rob.
Little Bernie's father died early. Only little Bernie and his mother were dependent on each other in the family. How could this orphan and widowed take advantage of others
Hearing what little Bernie said, don couldn't help frowning, and an idea flashed into his mind.
"How are you going to eat at noon?"
At this time, Mingkun asked.
The situation in the slums is here. In addition, there has just been an outbreak of cholera. For safety reasons, Tang wanwan hardly eats lunch here.
Sometimes when I think of it in the morning, I just put a piece of bread in my bag, and I just don't eat it at all. After class, I go back to school to eat it.
But today is different. There are Mingkun, Gaoshan and little Bernie. But looking at this slum, there are very few food to buy.
There is a small stall opposite the trusteeship station. It sells the fried pancakes that were eaten in little Bernie's house before. It is a staple food that people here generally eat.
Turn a corner and you'll find the widest main road in the slum. There will be some shops on both sides of the road.
The geographical location is special. Because of the lake, the fish here is the cheapest meat food, and it is also sold in the slums.
From the school to the station sign, this main road is the only way. Tang wanwan walked on this road, and he was also impressed by the fish on both sides of the road.
The fish were neatly stacked on the wooden platform, mosquitoes and flies hovering over it, and the smell of them was even worse. Every time he passed by, Tang wanwan wanted to hold his breath, let alone eat the fish here.
In the slum, we haven't solved the problem of food and clothing, let alone eating out, so there are no restaurants here.
The fried cake and the fish are all lost by Tang wanwan's pass. In the end, he decides that little Bernie will help Gao Shan in the station. Tang wanwan and Mingkun go out to buy something to eat.
"Why, are you still used to it? If you find something unreasonable, you should record it. When you wait for the regular meeting, we will discuss it together and see what measures can be taken to improve it. "
On the way, Mingkun asks Tang wanwan like chatting.
"Not quite."
Tang wanwan told the truth.
At the beginning, I heard Mingkun say that when he wanted to dispatch himself to the trusteeship station, Tang wanwan's heart was actually with a trace of resistance.
But, really came to trusteeship station, see those poor children, Tang wanwan's heart, also follow soft down.
She began to face up to the hosting station of this project, seriously consider, how to better help them.
"First of all, Gao Shan and I have no experience in taking care of children. Maybe we are not as good at coaxing children as little Bernie."
Tang wanwan frowned and said, "so I think we can recruit some more experienced people, such as little Bernie's mother, to take care of the children at the care station? However, there is a problem of salary in this way... "
They are volunteers, but if they specially recruit staff, they must be paid.
As a non-profit organization, we are all students. Where can we raise funds and pay workers.
"That's what I'm thinking about."
Mingkun nodded, did not go on to say, but mentioned another thing.
"By the way, I just got through with the headmaster this morning. The tuition fee of little Bernie can be postponed for a while, but it has to be paid in the end. The school doesn't charge any fees, but the children's classrooms and playgrounds cost 500 yuan a month in total. The children's tuition is used to pay the rent. "After a pause, he looked up at Tang wanwan, "on the way to find you just now, I also talked with little Bernie. The child is very sensible and offered to find a part-time job to earn his own tuition, so I don't want to increase the burden on his mother, so I want to..."
In the middle of the speech, he stopped and sighed, "but I have to ask the elder for instructions first. The trusteeship station is just a rudiment. I don't know what the elder will think."
I really want to go with Tang wanwan
Invite more experienced people to be responsible for the trusteeship station, which is also a professional person to do professional work, in order to bring better care to the children.
However, it is not only a small investment, but also a long-term expenditure.
Sunshine medicine has no profit. It is said that this Abel senior of Mingkun has just started a business. Although he has made some achievements, whether he can afford to spend money for a long time and whether it will have any impact still needs careful research.
"Well."
Tang wanwan nodded, but he had already begun to think about other ways to get money.
Government support?
Charitable donations?
The best thing is to give these poor people a long-term job that can meet their daily expenses and pay through their own labor.
No matter how big the enterprise is, how rich the rich are, it is impossible to save all the poor people. What they can do is to give them a platform to help them create value.
Only in this way can their rescue work be more sustainable.
