CSR
Today, I joined one of my business partner's company's CSR effort. They do this on yearly basis, normally towards CNY.
This is my second time joining them. We went to this orphanage, which houses some old people too.... There are total of about 60++ ppl in the house, including the caretakers. Am not sure who funded this home though. Its in Jinjang.., far deep.
Anyway, I went with J. And we helped out with the rest of team. There are total of about 20++ of us.
I am fine in helping out and doing all these work. But from my observation, these kids, they are given a roof over their top, but nobody teach or guide them about survival.
For instance, they are not taught of how to keep the place or the environment clean. The place was in such a mess when we went. Toilets were dirty, house were dirty etc.....
And, when we were helping them to clean and fix things, all the kids just sit there and play and watch.
They are used to people come and help them clean up and fix things. And, everyone that comes, just help do that. Nobody taught them how to fix the stuffs, how to clean it, and most importantly, how to take care of themselves and the home.
I don't know... I don't mind to help them, but.., I want them to learn.., and I want them to be part of the "gotong-royong" effort...
Just imagine... Your mum come and help you clean your house, but you just sit around doing nothing and let her clean... Acceptable? No?
I don't know... Probably just me. But I do voice out to my business partner.., and told him that next time, we should include the kids into the cleaning up etc instead of us just coming over and do the work like this... And he agrees.
What do you think?
