Ji'nan news supermarket, shopping mall, bank... In many public places in the provincial capital, there are self-help donation boxes. These facilities are mainly designed to facilitate the public to do good deeds and cultivate people's good habits. In July 23rd, reporters found a large number of self-help boxes found that few people donated to these facilities, and even a lot of donation boxes were packed into a lot of trash like garbage boxes. With the deepening of the investigation, the reporter learned that it is not the public's reluctance to do good, but the lack of trust in self-help donations.
in July 23rd, the reporter found that a red donation box was hidden in the corner of Hongjia Lou, an investment bank. Through the coin slot can be seen, the donation is not 1/3 of the box, and most of them are advertising leaflets, machine small tickets, remittance bills and so on. At the two floor of the Gome Electric Hong Jia store, the reporter saw a large collection box with one meter high and clearly marked "Ji'nan Red Cross" at the bank, but there were few money in it, most of them were corner tickets, and the maximum denomination was just one yuan. The reporter hit a taxi in Hongjia building. As soon as he got on the car, he saw a heart shaped donation box hanging in the left front. There were some change in it, the most of the corner was in the five corner. Driver fan Feng said that the passengers asked for less donations, and a hundred yuan donation a month would be good.
the reporter also investigated Ginza and other large supermarkets and shopping malls. These facilities are not too small, only half a year can barely cover the bottom of the box, that is, as a garbage can, thrown into a lot of advertising and shopping tickets. The staff of the Ji'nan Charity Federation told reporters that in this way, they raised only $3000 to $5000 a year, much less than expected.
it is reported that these self-help donation boxes are set up by the Red Cross, the Disabled Association, the Charity Association and other institutions. The original intention is to build a platform of love through this flexible and convenient form to encourage the citizens to donate their money. Through this kind of daily good deeds, accumulate a lot of ways to raise funds to help vulnerable groups. However, these self-help donation boxes are cold.
Liulin, a 5 year old daughter in Ji'nan, went shopping and saw a donation box in the expensive shopping mall. The daughter wanted to make donations. Liulin discovered that there was a hotline on it, and she fought the past. So, Liu Lin walked away with her daughter. Liu Lin said: "the hotline is blocked. How can we make people feel at ease?" In a bank of Hongjia building, the customer Cao Dawei looked at the donation box set up in the bank, and told reporters that such a donation box was many, and every time he saw the donation box, he had the impulse to donate, but he was afraid that the donation could not be used to the most needed people, so every time he gave up. "If we publish the amount and use of such donations through a reliable channel and have a strict audit and operation mechanism, I may be active at any time," he said.
