Release time：2015-01-24
On Jan. 24th, it was cloudy and cold as -7 Celsius with haze in Baoding City. In several streets as Chaoyang Street, Yangguang Street, Tian’é Road, etc., the working street cleaners received “love bags” of our volunteers in blue. The bags contained vacuum cups, warm hats and mask and so on.
It was reported that this activity was organized by Desay SV, with a name “Care and Love for the Cleaners”. It was the third stop, followed by Huizhou stop and Wuhan stop. During the day our volunteers warmed 500 street cleaners in this cold winter day.
The “love bags” were prepared the day before. It was fully placed in the room.
The street cleaners often get up at 3 am. It was freezing outside. They wore the winter jackets, hats and gloves with their cleaning tools, and started their daily work.
He is over 70 years old. It has been years doing the street cleaning, majorly for the area of the train station. There are high flow of population and autos every day, bringing a large amount of garbage. It is tired to clean up the streets, but he enjoys his life.
It is happier for giving than receiving.
In this activity, the street cleaners received the “love bag” and smile happily. And our volunteers felt happier than them.
Yifan Liu, a 4-year-old boy, was the smallest volunteer in this activity. He came with his parents.
And the students from Hebei University participated in this charitable activity. And they wish to attend more activities like this.

He said, “We believe this activity is a start of charity in society. The spirit of charity will go further and never end.”

@Sheng Chen Gang:
The activity today reminded me of true joy of life. Those “thank you” directly touched my heart again and again. I think at the time we work hard to pursue a better life, we shall help and care for those people who make our city a better place. They are old and supposed to retire, but they clean the streets for living. It is expected to understand and care for them, and help them by reducing garbage. It’s pretty easy for us to do so.
@Ya Ya:
Charitable activity as an express of love reveals that we respect life and human good. We take our kid with us as volunteers to participate the activity, in order to educate him to love others as the way he loving himself. We hope he grow up in love and become a good person in the future.
The happy street cleaners and volunteers
Desay SV’s charitable activity, Care and Love for the Cleaners, will keep being held in several cities in China. More volunteers are expected to join in.
