China-UK Third Sector Synergies, Visit by Wang Li Wei to the UK

On January 18, 2010, In Government Social Responsibility, Personal Social Responsibility, By Charitarian

22 September – 10 October 2009

The third sector in China is changing. Six years ago you were not allowed to run charities and NGO’s in China because ‘officially’ there was not disparity between rich and poor. The position in 2010 is very different. Conscious of the growing wealth gap, the Government is now positively trying to cultivate a third sector economy (Government, grassroots and foreign NGO’s). The sector is embryonic but the legal and training infrastructure is being created to encourage its development. Wang Liwei (Vice-Mayor Guan County, Shandong and Editor Charitarian magazine) and Clare Pearson (CSR Manager at DLA Piper, Asia) visited the UK for three weeks to observe how the British Government perceive the third sector as a complement rather than competition to their services.

Solid Foundations: Hospital Where All are Welcome

On January 18, 2010, In Personal Social Responsibility, By Charitarian

Nonprofits and nongovernmental organizations are often faced with a moral dilemma namely how to decide who is most deserving of their limited resources and who will they regrettably have to turn away. Shangdi Hospital fortunately has never had to face that dilemma concerning access to their medical resources. They do in practice have a ‘no one turned away policy’ and never refuse medical treatment to patients regardless of their ability to pay. What moved me most about Shangdi Hospital was the resident doctors who themselves hold a ‘no one turned away’ policy in their personal lives, for this is what is needed to make the sacrifices they have in order to serve the patients at Shangdi.

Open Day visit to Bethel Orphanage for the Blind

On July 5, 2009, In Personal Social Responsibility, By Charitarian

Christy put a blindfold on Vimbayi and invited her to take her elbow. It was then up to Vimbayi to navigate her way around the teaching room. Vimbayi is fully sighted and normally very confident and outgoing but watching her timidly feel her way around the room, I realised just a fraction of what the kids who lose their sight must go through on a daily basis. Everyone in our group took turns with the blindfold and then Christy, the occupational therapist at the orphanage taught us how to use a guiding stick for the blind.
