標題: to donate or not to donate? [打印本頁]

作者: ani 時間: 2008-5-18 21:10 標題: to donate or not to donate?

we were having lunch today
first thing u see is.. lots of ppl standing by the door with lots of donation boxes
then later when we were eating
they came over to our table.. wanting us to make donations
even after we said "we already donated"
the lady made us sound as if we are all evil creatures by not putting money in her box

yes.. i know the lady was trying to help
but donations can be made in many different ways
why forcing us to donate to her?
and bother people when they are eating?

-_-''

basically, she is "rude"

donation is by heart, not by force lor, and some ppl prefer to donate in other methods rather than putting money into a donation box, i personally won't donate to some organization that i don't know at all lor, i wonder which charity does that lady belongs to

在vancouver ?

Please see : page 6 and post after of 四川災情..

捐款-----街上大大小小團體都派出自願人仕,装備捐獻箱, 站在行人路中"迫"路人行近捐款箱, 另外的工作人員馬上把捐獻箱推到行人面前, 看你放不放捐獻。一個十字路口,四個團體, 再加上守於中段的小街坊捐獻箱, 真的.......

我自已早己通過"志蓮"捐了錢去, 在街上遇到這些熱心團體, 都不知如何處理,再放錢去捐獻箱, 順得哥情失嫂意,"直行直過"心又不舒服, 請各位LYK提提意完。

same thing I was thinking when I was in Landsdowne mall today. I saw a lot of red tee people holding donation boxes, they do have a booth but I don't even know what the heck that organization is. There are many ways to donate out there, I rather donate my money to a reputable organization, I am worried there must be some 混水摸魚 donation boxes ar!

每人處事方法不同, 感受同, 她沒有錯, 你當然也沒有錯.

因為不捐錢去捐獻箱, 自己覺得不開心, why not get ready with small bills and put to every Donation Box come to you. (不傷脾胃的donation, make everybody HAPPY)

Make the real donation to the organization you really trust.

Hey all,

My friends and I have actually started a bottle drive for the China's earth quake relief aid. The bottle drive will run from May 15h to June 15th. We are collecting empty plastic bottles, glass bottles, basically anything that can go into recycling. We are than bringing it to the bottle depot and the money we get in return will completely go to Canadian Red Cross or World Vision.

If any of you want to help out or feel that you can contribute to this bottle drive in anyway, let me know! I am also wanting to hear feedback from you guys on what you think of this idea?
Thanks everyone!

I think this is a very creative idea but just worried some people might think this is a scam...

yeah I know what you mean Katamari!
Today we actually went around to collect these bottles and a lot of people was worried about that. I am not sure how to overcome that too! My friends and I do not currently have a license organization so I guess its really for the public to trust us. We are in the process of having our church backing us up on this and hopefully having that will provide a better sense of reliability.

Thanks for your feedback!! btw sorry that I couldn't quote ur comment here, I dunno how to use that function!! haha so embarrassed ><

you just need to click on "引用" link at the right bottom corner of the box you wanna quote =).

DO you mind telling me how many friends have you gathered to work on this? I think asking the church for help is a good way, or make some little flyers and post them in community centre, schools or other churches etc? I think with the church name on paper, or even a phone number they can ask for information, it should be easier to gain more trust. Oh and how about a little blog to let people see what you are doing online?

I hope these can be useful la, maybe you'll need to find more helpers to work together! Good luck!

my mom says whenever there's donation. ppl like dr. stanley ho, tsang hin tze will disappear unless it's on tv.

Nowadays, why would anyone want to give out money on the street. I've already donated at the Canadian Redcross website, really easy, just a few clicks and input some info and you're done. You can also choose other disasters like Myanmar Typhoon.

I think the manager at the restaurant made a bad mistake letting people bother customers.

I went to Aberdeen centre on sunday and its a zoo. there were 2 charity going at the same time at diferent location of the mall. One of em was Tzu Chi, low key and very polite. The other one I'm not sure what organization they belong to. they have 5 tables linked together with over 30 people. A set of big speakers and microphones. The management found them too loud and asked them to stop using them. They ignored that and started singing, later dancing. The emcee shouting "1 dollar! Just 1 dollar please! makes a big difference." Needless to say they attracted a crowd and its near the escalator as well so the traffic was backed up. The security guards had a hard time convincing them to play by the rules.

想講一句，
廢柴今次後知後覺，
開左成個禮拜會先搞得出個籌款，
算過晒，一定有著數先搞，
大家睇清楚呢班傳媒人。
睇下人地有慈濟既細台，一早搞完喇。

So many charities collecting money right now. My company raises for Children Hospital, Breast Cancer Society and United Way. So many activities going on to raise money, so annoying that they keep on asking for money. It feels like every week, someone comes by and ask for money, especially on pay day. >< Having to say no everytime is hard and I feel sorry for the same ppl who volunteered to collect the money.

咁廢柴要搞年年一樣既新秀,歌創,後浪...
可能冇乜時間同人手關心今次既突發災難...
昨晚既達仁占士節目都只係講o左幾句地震同籌款...
佢地寧願講多D歌創,過氣既iphone...
"大家睇清楚呢班傳媒人"...

if you guys want to donate, you guys can donate to 慈濟.

慈濟 is a very low profile organization and 100% of the fund are directly to the victims. Yes, there are few staff within 慈濟 is not volunteer but the salary are from the members of 慈濟.

Members of 慈濟 will pay 120 dollars annually for administration in the organization. They also have to purchase their own uniform.

I highly respect 慈濟 members as they are very polite and not forcing people to donate at all.

I was volunteer at Brentwood mall this long weekend for 慈濟. They even ask me not to smile at others, unless people smile at us or donate money in my donation box because they don't want to give pressure to people.

how about mingpao?係唔係lancer所講個Ｄ將大家Ｄ善款collect左之後轉交比Ｄ機構，自己用來扣稅架？因為明報個網冇話有退稅收條喎！

睇完以上意見，似乎出來勸捐的都overwhelm左，而且大小組織都爭住出來做艇仔(拆家)，搏命叫人交錢俾佢地，然後又話大家知，佢地都係轉手交俾其他大規模慈善機構，好似大家去報名參加鴨仔旅行團一樣，其實呼籲大家捐去大慈善機構就ok啦，駛乜全世界都赤膊上陣，一齊去爭同一個市場？餐廳俾人入去煩人，更加唔對路，要捐就就自然會捐，唔駛好似做show咁，計好晒數先至做，世事邊有算得咁盡？可能都係沽名釣譽為多。
