From April to June this year, Jiading District integrated resources from schools, families, society and other aspects to launch the "Lighting the Heart Lamp" mental health education activity season in primary and secondary schools. Among them, a charity sale held by the private Taoliyuan Experimental School was particularly lively, with students transforming themselves into "little shopkeepers" to spread love in practice.
The campus is full of children.
The charity sale is very lively.
"Don't miss it if you pass by, there is a big bakery sale, two for only 5 yuan!" On the afternoon of May 17, childish shouts came one after another on the playground of Taoliyuan Experimental School. Prices are "broken", walking into the crowd to sell goods, wearing doll costumes to attract attention... stall owners use all kinds of skills to sell the items on their stalls.
50 stalls are full of variety, including homemade bread, lemon tea and other delicacies, as well as second-hand goodies such as rag dolls, idle books, and stress relief toys. Wu Yichen, a student in Grade 4 (4), spent 55 yuan to buy 8 of his favorite items and was very satisfied. "This activity is very rewarding and can help others. It is very meaningful!"
Among the salesmen, the fifth grade ( Hong Yuze, a student in class 1), was particularly active. He raised his loud voice and held up his merchandise, attracting many customers. With the record of "selling out 160 pieces of crushed ice in 10 minutes", he can be said to be the real sales leader. "This charity sale made me realize that making money is not easy. At first, there were not many people at our stall, and some people just took one look and left. Later, I took the initiative and greeted everyone warmly, and eventually many of the products were sold out. "It's a great sense of accomplishment," Hong Yuze said.
"Children of this age have a vague concept of money. This charity sale will not only allow them to better understand the value of items and the importance of money, but also cultivate children's love and sense of responsibility." Zhang Yu, a parent who came to the scene to help Min said.
Practicing public welfare and lighting up the heart
The school, home and community collaborate to help grow
This loving campus charity sale not only received enthusiastic participation from students and parents, but also attracted social forces to come and help. Under the guidance of the "Yijiayi" charity position, many creative and caring organizations and individuals have joined. Among them are not only community experts who teach twist stick craftsmanship, a college student club that creates their own twenty-four solar terms seals, but also charity organizations that bring intelligent robot programming experience.
The booth of Lin Yuhan, a junior student at Shanghai Science and Technology Vocational College, was very popular. "As a student majoring in social work, such an activity is a rare opportunity for practice. I hope that the children will experience the fun while also experiencing the various forms of charity." "
Zhou Xiaodong, Secretary-General of the Jiading District Social Organization Promotion Association, said that this is the first time that the "Yijiayi" charity position has entered the school. It is reported that the "Yijiayi" public welfare position, as the forefront of social organizations' public welfare activities in Jiading District, has been exploring how to better integrate public welfare concepts into public life. By organizing charity donations, charity fairs, charity salons and other activities, "Yijiayi" provides a stage for everyone to explore, experience and practice charity.
"Nowadays, the connotation of charity is constantly expanding. In addition to the common donations of goods and materials in the past, charity can become simpler and more interesting, and can also be integrated into everyone's daily life. We want to take advantage of this charity sale to let more Young people learn about the charity culture of serving others and being kind to others, sowing the seeds of charity in the hearts of children, and letting the flowers of charity bloom everywhere!" Zhou Xiaodong said.
In the end, after an hour and a half of hard work, the charity sale raised nearly 50,000 yuan. Li Li, Secretary of the Party Branch and Principal of Taoliyuan Experimental School, said that all proceeds from the event will be donated to the Red Cross for free so that love can be passed on.
"The Charity Sale is a tradition of our school, and it is also an important moment of the year for the children. The children will actively participate in the organization and preparation of the event every time. Although they are young, they understand the meaning of every donation of love. , every product sold reflects their intentions and creativity."In Li Li's view, such activities not only bring the growth of love to students, but also allow love to flow from school and family to society.
