Street donation shops, protecting the dignity of beneficiaries

Helpfulness has always been a traditional virtue in China, and various volunteer associations are emerging in society. Just like how I used to be a member of the Youth Volunteer Association, sometimes your intention is to help others, but in the end, others may not be willing to accept help. Why is this? Later on, it gradually became clear that the approach was wrong. Everyone has their own dignity, and even when receiving help, they hope to maintain their self-esteem.

Max Pazar and Kayli Levitan co founded The Street Store in January this year. They put some cardboard and clothes on the street to provide for the homeless. This activity first started in Cape Town, South Africa, and now their presence can be seen in many places from Brazil to Belgium. Due to the fact that these things are not packaged as gifts, but rather people have the right to choose for themselves, this makes those who receive help feel respected and maintain their self-esteem, thus greatly increasing the success rate of helping others.

Do your friends also think this way of helping others is great? If you also want to take action, you can directly download and print cardboard with logos on the official website of The Street Store! This kind of street donation shop that is not wasteful and can help people well should be advocated, and I hope China will also appear soon!
