"with Agam spirit to treat the work, improve self, I Work I am happy, come on! " The voice of shouting slogans is somewhat vague, but loud and powerful. These mentally retarded young people and old people never thought they could have their own jobs.
5 19, Changchun mental retardation supporting employment training base - Agam restaurant pilot officially opened. 12 people with mental retardation through pre job training have become employees of Agam restaurant. They are responsible for dishes, cleaning and handling.
pass the dish, clean all can do, receive salary, live in dormitory
20 day noon, reporter came to Agam restaurant, the total area of more than 600 square meters of restaurant is very bright. Wearing a half sleeved and apron waitress, he is busy shuttling. Hu Yanping, the founder of the
restaurant, told reporters that the black half - sleeved was her mentally retarded "child". "I don't want the children to be different from the normal people, but they have to make a little difference for the convenience of working together."
"I've been here for 6 days, I can pass the dishes, sweep the floor and wipe the table." Said beau, 22. Every time he returned from the dish, he would stand upright at the kitchen door and wait for the next dish.
"I heard from the disabled federation this year that Changchun has set up a restaurant that supports the employment of mentally handicapped people, and has come here with a son." Xiao Bo's mother, Shi Fengli, said, "my son has been trained as a waiter. This is the first time that Xiao Bo has gone to the society to participate in the work.
more employees in the restaurant are from the rehabilitation home for mentally handicapped people. This center was also founded by Hu Yanping. As a mentally handicapped person, the agricultural treatment and treatment base has begun to provide vegetables and ingredients for the Agam restaurant.
12, the oldest person with mental retardation, is more than 60 years old. They work for a group of 6 people. They work 3 hours to 4 hours every afternoon. Most of them are three or four level intelligence, some of them only reach grade two.
mentally retarded employees are happy with Hu Yanping, and now they are more than 20 years old. "He was just a child when he came to the rehabilitation center. One eye was just blind. He was out of the way to eat at the corner of the wall. No one could understand." Hu Yanping recalls.
there is a more mature employment mechanism for disabled, blind, deaf and dumb people. People are worried that mental disorder is not good enough to do a good job, but in fact, they can do simple and repetitive work. Pang Guozhong, director of the Changchun municipal disabled federation, said. The
restaurant provides hostels for these mentally handicapped employees. During the probation period, the salary of each person is around 300 yuan per month. By the time they get to work independently, wages will go up. "To each of them has a passbook, let them experience the harvest of labor, and let them learn to shop." Hu Yanping said.
"Agam mother" makes mentally retarded children support themselves.
mentally retarded children call Hu Yanping "mother", and everyone also calls her "Agam mother". Hu Yanping is an advanced individual in helping disabled people in the country. At present, 48 people with mental retardation are adopted.
Hu Yanping's hometown was in Taiping Village, Xing Long Shan town, far outskirts of Changchun. When he was 17 years old, he went out alone. Before the Changchun train station, Hu Yanping sold clothes and stalls, contracted the public toilet and the telephone booth, and later became the owner of the teahouse, the hotel and the supermarket.
2001 January 15th, Hu Yan Ping's 7 month old son with congenital retardation left the world. Since then, she has begun to adopt mentally retarded people and put her feelings on mentally retarded children she adopted. A mentally retarded person was named by her: happy, happy, happy, lucky... So far, Hu Yanping has adopted nearly 100 mentally retarded people.
2010 November, under the coordination and help of the government, Hu Yanping finally got the approval of "the rehabilitation care center of the mentally retarded people in Jiutai," and built a household in the West town of Jiutai. Today, the "good home" rehabilitation care center yard raises chickens, ducks, geese, and grows vegetables and fruit trees.
with the improvement of understanding, Hu Yanping used the convenience of the rehabilitation center, introduced the agricultural and industrial treatment, and constructed it as the sanatorium base of the mentally retarded. Now, from rehabilitation to support, to the auxiliary employment of agricultural and industrial treatment, and to the supportive employment in the Agam restaurant, Hu Yanping paved a way for her mentally retarded children to integrate into the society.
"Mom, I'll open a restaurant. I'll be the manager. I can help you." The boy who is called "dream manager" by everyone is a hero who makes Hu Yan Ping open a restaurant. "No kids, I never thought about opening a restaurant." Hu Yanping said.
some people questioned Agam's restaurant as a gimmick. Hu Yanping said, this is a dream she helped her children achieve, "let them participate in social activities on an equal basis, and realize the joy, dignity and value of labor. Children can also develop their intelligence slowly in the process of integrating into society.
over the years, many people wanted to donate money to Hu Yanping, but she did not receive any donations. "Everyone's good intentions have led me, but I still have the ability to keep them warm enough to live a normal life." I don't want to make a skew of this thing. Hu Yanping said.
at present, in the 7 supporting employment pilot areas in the country, the Agam restaurant is a one-time support for mentally retarded people with the largest number of employment agencies. "People with intellectual disabilities should come out, speak out and do things, and life will change." Pang Guozhong believes that if they speak their dreams, they will probably achieve them.
running costs 600 thousand per year. The government gives 300 thousand
"supportive employment". It is a mode of employment for mentally retarded people. It is a continuous training for mentally retarded people in a competitive workplace by the employment counselors to improve their work and their ability to interact with colleagues. When the performance of the mentally handicapped is in line with the requirements of the job, the employment counselor gradually withdraws from the job site and provides services in a tracking way.
"see Agam in the restaurant, many entrepreneurs have told me that they can provide jobs, but they are worried that they will not be able to manage these children." Hu Yanping said that people with mental retardation do need a reliable person to help them. The employment counsellor is very important but very scarce. The 12 mentally retarded at
Agam restaurant can be trained to enter the job smoothly, in addition to a mother like Hu Yanping and a trained and certified job instructor to manage the service.
at present, the rehabilitative care centers adopt 48 mentally retarded persons. The annual cost of the operation is about 600000 yuan, and the government grants 300 thousand yuan. In addition, the annual rental of Agam restaurant is about 1 million yuan, and there are other expenses. Restaurants may continue to lose money for a period of time.
because supportive employment is still in its infancy, supporting policies are not yet perfect. As a restaurant and a training base for mentally retarded and supportive employment, Hu Yanping, as a legal person's Agam restaurant, can not find the corresponding basis to enjoy the business tax reduction policy. It was the construction process of rehabilitative care center in that year, and there was no corresponding policy for land tax relief. Hu Yanping had to pay more than 90 thousand yuan for tax payment.
"mentally handicapped people go to work, and the government provides targeted pre job training as much as possible." Pang Guozhong said that Changchun is studying a variety of support policies, such as wage subsidies for people with intellectual disabilities, construction subsidies for the base of entrepreneurship and employment, and employment pension subsidies for mentally retarded people.
now, Changchun has nearly 60 enterprises, to absorb the more than 300 mentally retarded people employment, in the catering, housekeeping, handling, packaging and other industries, engaged in simple, repetitive work. "The government will supervise the work hours, salaries and insurance of mentally retarded people." Pang Guozhong said.
on the basis of starting Changchun's supporting employment base, Jilin province will gradually carry out supporting employment work in the whole province. Through centralized placement and individual arrangements, more mentally retarded people will be able to integrate into the society, increase their income and live a more dignified life.
