Guest guest Posted December 14, 2003 Report Share Posted December 14, 2003 hi all, i understand and notice that many of us like to help, but when we come to donation, people start to doubt, and rasie up a few reason to withheld, well here is my experience! i was helping an animal fund selling christmas cards few years ago. and peopel asked me why the fund has an address, why they rent an office, why they hire people to work for them, why , why why.........! i didnt work for them, i just help voluntarily. and i had the same questions as well when i first started, but the questions were answered . i was the only one offering this help in my company where i ahve 600 collegues, and i could just spend a few moment to talk with my people, but no one was helping me! but remeber this is just a " voluntary help " , i still have my own work to do! so, i spent a lot of my free time to hard sell those christmas cards and they were all sold out after a long time! i looked at the money and understood all................ if i was a founder of the fund, can i use my own name? NO! then people wont trust you! i need to have a bank nos of the foundation, so the money donated is clearly for the suffered. i ahve only 2 hands, but i ahve a lot of ideas! who can help me? a voluntary helper can come once a month, but do u expect him/her to come everyday, 9am-6pm helping u all the way thru? who would do such a thing in such a material world? then, if u r printing pamphlets, or event just some rough copies, u need to pay $$, christmas cards needs $$..................everything needs $$. yes, it is true that not 100% of the donation goes directly to suffered, but we have to be reasonable, we can get al the stuffs free all the time, free lunch may come once, but not always!see, i raised HK$3000, but if i have a helper, we could ahve HK$6000, and so on!but we have to deduct the cost! which is inevitable!!!!! so many people were talking about san frontier, obis,....etc! what i could truely say from my heart is that, you gotta try it yourself, u do it physically yourself, then you will undersatnd some cost and some expenditure are inevitable! but still most of it goes to suffered. when you donate the money, you are not just giving the money, you are giving your compassion, your help, your wish, your pray, your care, your concerns.and also your attachment too................ so please, next time, when you come across any donation, do not think of that stupid question that most people have, look at the pamphlet they give you, or even a fund paoch, that cost money too! think that you are giving money to help, or even some very litttle goes to the staffs who work long hours for them, you are also helping them to earn their salaries for their efforts to support their lives. you are also helping other people in other ways as well! your money will never wasted for nothing! §Ú¤£·|°Ûºq¡B¦n¤ß¦n³ø¡B¥X½æ... ®öº©¹aÁn ±¡¤ß³sô http://ringtone..hk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
