義工奇遇記#2-British Red Cross Clothing Shop
上回分享過我在NHS疫苗中心當義工的經歷
這次要說說我的另一個服務機構-British Red Cross
在英國的街道上走一趟
總不難發現各所Charity Shop的蹤影
除了香港人較熟悉的救世軍(The Salvation Army)
還有投入國際救援的Oxfam與British Red Cross
致力發展醫療科技的Cancer Research UK與British Heart Foundation
關注兒童權益/動物福利的The Children's Society與RSPCA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals)等等
由於某些商店會將賣不掉的陳列品送過來
附近街坊亦踴躍捐贈不同物品
所以我們這所Clothing Shop也算是包羅萬有
透過出售二手衣物、書籍、玩具與家品來籌集善款
每星期我也會抽一天時間來這裡做義工
兩個月以來也學習了不少技能
例如在鋪面運作Cybertill處理帳目
在樓上倉庫把收集回來的Donation作篩選
處理好Gift Aider*的捐贈
把破舊的衣物分成三類:Clothes, Household, Shoes/Bags/Belts
量度每袋Rag的重量再將其轉售給Ragman (收買佬)
剩下較簇新的衣物則以蒸汽將皺摺燙平
利用Tagging Gun在適當位置掛上標籤
然後跟據店鋪準則訂定價格
最後按種類、顏色與尺寸排列貨品
有時候還會幫忙佈置櫥窗
替Mannequin換裝
轉換一下玻璃櫃裡的布偶與擺設
雖然只是一間小小的店鋪
這裡的義工卻來自世界各地
牆上貼滿我們的照片
每人也擁有一個印上名字的專屬咖啡杯
大家當值時有說有笑
閒時分享自己生活上的種種趣事
令我每星期也期待回來跟大家相聚
這份義務工作擴闊了我的社交圈
也為生活帶來了新鮮感與滿足感
雖然未能夠賺取一分一毫
但有些得著是難以用金錢來衡量的
下次再談談我在另一處當義工的體驗
要是你剛剛到埗英國又未急於找工作
參與義工行列既可以把經驗寫進履歷
亦是融入當地、結交朋友的好開始呢
*Gift Aid是英國政府推動慈善募款的計劃,讓捐款人的每筆善款都能增加25%,受助機構固然受惠,捐款人亦能獲得稅款減免。

Give a girl a flower and she will be smiling the whole day!! Thank you @happybunchmy for this unexpected early Mother's Day gift!! Love the Lush Box as it's exactly what I need for my "Me Time". 😃
.
.
I remember that one out of many occasions, my mother would give up an opportunity for herself, just so she could attend to her children's needs, like my sports day. Every year she would make sure that she was there at school because she knew how important it was for me to see her there at the tracks as she was my pillar of strength. I believed that when I see her, I could run faster and beat the odds. All the medals I won, the Olahragawati titles for 2 years in a row, was because of her!
“Because Mom’s always puts her family needs first!”
.
.
Every mother deserves the best, as they always go beyond "the best". Show your mother how much she is appreciated by sending love on Mother’s Day! When you pre-order Happy Bunch Mother’s Day Collection today, you can enjoy a FREE @kosemy Gift Pack. (While stocks lasts.)
.
.
Not only that, you can also *use code HBMDAY5 to get RM5 off the Mother’s Day Collection with no minimum spend*.
.

Don't miss out on this treat! Just do it!

It's tradition in Taiwan to give a gift of cookies or sticky rice to friends and family when a new baby joins the party. Thanks to But. we love butter for creating these boxes and making it happen.
As part of the gift, we added not one but two children's books that we just published. You can hear us read them out on our www.jollygoodkangaroo.com Podcast on Spotify, Apple, Google Podcasts et al. (Sometimes, there are special guests who show up in our stories. Which is nice of them).
Computer - end transmission.

children's gift 在 Kiri T Youtube 的最佳解答
現在的孩子都被逼著長大,
被逼做大人應該做和不敢做的事情。
不想有一天發生在我們面前的悲劇,
會被編寫成騙人的童話故事。
6月1日國際兒童節,
Kiri T把這首歌送給不能再當兒童的大家。
Kids don’t get to be kids anymore.
The last thing I wanna read to my future kid is a censored fairytale that stops us from learning about who we are, and how we got here.
1st June is International Children's Day,
this song is a gift for those who can no longer be children.

Fuvk The Fairytale
曲:Kiri T
詞:Kiri T / 方迦南@goomusic
編:Kiri T
現在已經不太敢相信
宇宙上有善良的引力
從前那個天真的小孩
轉眼已不再期待
我確定沒有所謂的王子
和你相依為命的故事
祝我和自己白頭諧老永結同心
我和自己
會不會我就是我的王子
說不騙人的童話故事
我還繼續在犯同樣很愚蠢的錯誤
懷疑幸福
I just wanna be okay with the way I’m made
Wanna be brave with the steps I take
Don’t wanna be afraid of change
Don’t wanna be all jaded
我想聽你說一句
That you’re okay with the way you’re made
You could be brave with the steps you take
Don’t let me fall into hate
你不需要等待
你就在這片人海
我們穿上同樣的禮服
期待獲得同樣的禮物
希望我們不再是孤獨
在黑夜裡迷途的小鹿
關注我不等於你愛我
森林會有更多的災禍
我們繼續在做同樣很愚蠢的選擇
欺善怕惡
我們之間的相同是擁有傷痛
無可救藥的是權力的操控
即使隱隱作痛還是大步大步走著
We’ll find a way
I just wanna be okay with the way I’m made
Wanna be brave with the steps I take
Don’t wanna be afraid of change
Don’t wanna be all jaded
我想聽你說一句
That you’re okay with the way you’re made
You could be brave with the steps you take
Don’t let me fall into hate
你不須要等待
你就在這片人海
Don’t wanna be all jaded
我想聽你說一句
That you’re okay with the way you’re made
You could be brave with the steps you take
Don’t let me fall into hate
你不須要等待
我就在這片人海
