| If things go as planned, I'll be opening up and running an admissions office for a US boarding school in Shanghai soon. When I get there, I'll see what I can find out and what, if anything could be put on a before-mentioned folded business card. I'm making a note to myself to do this if I come there. I'll email what I find out to Jian when I do.
If you're in an industrialized country (especially the US), you can do what I recommend for adult beggars. It does take a bit of your time to do, but you're really helping them if you do. Giving them coin is only harming them. Also, never give to a child beggar but get charities or at least child welfare government agencies to come and get them. Charities and especially government agencies can get the children out from under gang control or remove them from a parasite parent. When I was in New York City last time and saw a child beggar, I called 911 on my cell phone and within five minutes the cops were there and took the child to Social Services. Now I would be surprised if China didn't have some government agency that looked out for the welfare of children and which would take action if someone informed them of a child beggar. However, I'm not there yet so I don't know for sure. |
