Chapter 1047: Xi Shi
Sorongqi subconsciously glanced at the photo on the wall, and after confirming that the woman was indeed the elegant woman in the evening dress in the photo, he put the book back in his hand and said apologetically: "Sorry, I was a little curious, so I just flipped through the book."
The woman smiled and said: "It's okay, are you surprised?
The director of the welfare home is indeed me."
This woman has a strong aura, which is Suolongqi's first impression. In addition, he can't tell the age of this woman at all. She can be 28 or 29, 25 or 26, and early 30s, which is not impossible...
The most peculiar thing is the woman's eyes, which are crystal clear and black and white, but also very deep, as if she can see through people's hearts at a glance. For no reason, Suolongqi remembered what the old man said before, that if the relatives who came to take the child away abused the child or had any prejudice against the child, he would take the child back from them even if he had to sue.
Sure enough, only this kind of aura can say such words, right?
"Hello, my name is Suo Longqi, from Jiangnan Charity Foundation. What's your name?"
The woman stretched out her hand and shook Suo Longqi's. "My name is Xi Shi, Xi for seat, Shi for poetry! My husband is the man in the photo. This welfare home was founded by my husband's father!"
Husband's father?
Suo Longqi thought about it for a moment. There is a lot of information here. First of all, the name Xi Shi is not something that an ordinary family can come up with. And the name is husband's father. That means that my husband did not inherit the welfare home because he went to the army or for some other reason?
Just from the name, there is no doubt that there should be a scholarly family behind him.
"Jiangnan Charity Foundation, I have never heard of this name before. You just came to Jiangnan City, right?"
While Suo Longqi was thinking, Xi Shi spoke again. Suo Longqi immediately replied: "Yes, we just came, but Jiangnan Charity Foundation had already sent a lot of supplies not long before the flood disaster, but it had not changed its name at that time!"
Xi Shi nodded and said, "What is the purpose of your visit this time?"
Suo Longqi looked at the children in the yard, then looked at the environment of the yard, and then smiled and said: "Of course I came to support the welfare home. It can be seen that the flood disaster has brought a heavy blow to many families. ”
In fact, it was not completely unexpected. Suo Longqi had done some simple homework before coming. Now the welfare home lacks money the most, followed by resources. Without money, you can't get resources at all. But after having money, resources become a big problem. Food resources, educational resources, manpower and material resources all need to be carefully considered. The welfare home's deficit actually existed before the flood disaster. After the flood, although the government can bear most of the maintenance costs, the cost of raising these children is another problem. Although the subsidy is distributed per capita, each child can only get 50 yuan. There are no parents at home. How long can a child live with 50 yuan?
The director of this welfare home has never abandoned any child. The welfare home has a tradition of helping these children find jobs after they become adults, but raising a child to the age of 18 will be a huge budget. Many welfare homes will try their best to help children find adoptive families. After all, staying in the welfare home all the time is also a problem.
Xi Shi, the director of the special welfare home, doesn't consider these things at all. If the children are willing to go with the adoptive family, she will also investigate the family to make sure that they can correctly guide the children to establish a good value system, and the children will not be discriminated against or prejudiced in this adoptive family. Only then can the adoption procedures be processed. If the family has no intention of raising the child well, and has such a child purely for the purpose of passing on the family line, and has a bad attitude towards the child, beating and scolding, sorry, just take the child back directly. If you don't want to let the child go, then see you in court.
This tough style is hard to associate with a woman's behavior.
After Suo Longqi had a brief chat with the director, he had a better understanding of the current situation of the welfare home.
"So, what the welfare home needs most now is medical security conditions, food and accommodation issues, and the rest is funding issues. Education issues also need to be improved, right?"
Xi Shi nodded when she heard this, and Suo Longqi asked again with some curiosity: "What's the matter with the people from the Red Cross just now?"
In Suo Longqi's view, shouldn't the Red Cross be able to change the current situation of some welfare homes?
At the very least, we should be able to improve the children's living conditions, and we can also provide some funds!
Xi Shi sighed slowly and said, "The Red Cross is very big, and it needs to be responsible for a lot of things. In addition to my welfare home, Danzhou also has many nursing homes and other places. The affected area is too large, and the funds needed are too much. They want to help, but they are powerless. They can only provide 50,000 at most, but this 50,000 will cost a lot of money just for medical insurance..."
50,000 sounds like a lot of numbers, but there are more than 70 children in the welfare home, what effect can this 50,000 have?
It's just a drop in the bucket.
But even so, Xi Shi still went through the application process. Fifty thousand is still money. The welfare home does not have much income. If there is no support from charity organizations, it will not be able to persist.
Over the years, many companies that have funded the welfare home have withdrawn their investment due to the death of the old director.
Only one or two companies are still holding on. This time, the two local companies were also severely damaged by the flood disaster. With the broken capital chain, the support for the welfare home can only be temporarily put aside, which makes the welfare home enter a situation where it is difficult to continue. After a few words, Suo Longqi has a deeper understanding of the current situation.
It seems that he came at the right time, and the welfare home is in need of help the most.
"Our Jiangnan Charity Foundation can help."
To be honest, Xi Shi was very happy to hear this, but how much money can a charity foundation that has never been heard of come up with?
Even the Red Cross can only provide fifty thousand. Seeing that Suo Longqi is so young, this foundation should not be very big, right?
"How many members are there in the Jiangnan Charity Foundation now?"
This question made Suo Longqi stunned.
