331,How many shortcomings stimulate(1/2)
When it comes to the ways in which public welfare organizations make money, there are generally just a few.
1. Receive donations from individuals or businesses.
2. Organize fundraising activities such as charity sales.
3. Launch online fundraising.
4. Obtain government funding (negligible).
However, no matter which fundraising method is used, it needs to be supported by corresponding performance to allow donors to trust you with their money.
After thinking about it, Sayu thought that the only thing they could do now seemed to be asset investment.
The "OSY" association currently only accommodates one person, You Muzi, and the funds in the account are quite abundant. If you deposit them in the bank to earn regular interest or manage your finances, you can generate a certain amount of income.
As for larger investments, she doesn't plan to act rashly yet. After all, higher returns also mean higher risks, and they don't have the ability to hedge risks.
that's all--
Sayu asked the question first, and Tachibana Jun answered it later.
From the organization's management and operations, cost control, marketing strategies, to sharing rescue experience, etc... the other party knew almost everything.
Such preferential treatment made Sayu a little scared, but Tachibana Jun calmed her uneasiness generously on the grounds of training young people.
The atmosphere afterwards was always harmonious and the interview went very smoothly.
Sayu was absorbing knowledge like a sponge. Many of the questions he had accumulated suddenly came to light at this moment, and he had a clearer idea about the development of the association.
Her mood became excited and she talked more than usual, so that the interview lasted two hours.
"Thank you for answering so many of my questions, Miss Tachibana." She bowed her head to Tachibana with satisfaction and thanked her deeply.
Although it is still limited to paper talks, she feels that she has more confidence in doing good things for the association.
Tachibana smiled and waved her hands.
"You're welcome. I like your serious and enthusiastic attitude very much. Let's exchange contact information and we can communicate at any time in the future."
"Ah, yes, that's what I asked for!" Sayu agreed without hesitation and exchanged contact information with the other party.
Ju Chun glanced at the time and said enthusiastically: "Well, it happens to be dinner time now, so you two can stay here to eat."
"How can this be done? That would be too embarrassing."
"It's okay, it's okay. Anyway, we will provide food for those children ourselves, no less than the two of you. If you are not in a hurry to go back, I can take you to visit the dormitory later."
"Is this...really okay?"
"Of course. In addition, we also have on-site visits in the evening. You can also participate if you are willing."
"——!"
Sayu unconsciously showed desire on her face, but she still prioritized asking her companion next to her, "Miss Shinjo, what do you think?"
Shinjoka rolled his eyes at her and said, "Just go, it's a rare opportunity like this. You didn't intend to refuse it, right?"
Sayu smiled sheepishly and did not deny it.
It would be fine if it was something else, but she really couldn't resist the opportunity to actually participate in the visit.
…
The dinner provided by "Bo" is curry rice.
Although the taste is ordinary, the portions of vegetables and meat are not small, enough to be considered sincere.
The dormitory provided for the assisted persons is on the upper floor. There are two sets of bunk beds inside, which can accommodate four people.
This is similar to their side, but there are ten people being assisted on "Bo"'s side, which is ten times as many as "OSY".
After eating and visiting the dormitory, Tachibana took them on a tour.
Halfway through, Shinjoka suddenly stopped, frowned slightly and asked, "Miss Tachibana, where are we going next?"
"Well, we are going to Kabukicho." Tachibana Jun explained.
"Kabukicho!?" Sayu was startled and looked at Shinjoka unconsciously.
After a brief pause, Shinjoka nodded lightly, "I understand. Miss Tachibana, I want to go to the convenience store to use the restroom. Can you please wait for me?"
"Okay, no problem, go ahead~"
"Thanks."
Shinjoka said as she entered the convenience store next to her. When she came out again, she had two more masks in her hand.
"Miss S, put this on."
"Huh? Why?"
Sayu asked without knowing why, and then heard this answer——
"You are too ostentatious. If you don't want to be stared at, just wear it. When you get there, remember to follow me and don't run around, and don't respond to any strangers."
Tachibana looked at Shintōka in surprise, a little surprised by her performance, and supported her with approval:
"Miss Shinjo is right. You two are indeed a bit conspicuous in a place like that, so it would be better to wear masks."
Hearing their serious talk, Sayu didn't take it lightly and put the black mask on his face obediently.
Although this is a bit strange, it makes sense since occasionally some pedestrians with pollen allergies pass by wearing masks on the street.
The three of them continued walking and soon arrived at the very large Don Quijote. In front of them was Kabukicho's Nakamichi Street.
The spacious streets are crowded with people, and the colorful neon lights illuminate the night like day, dazzling the eyes.
"It's amazing, it feels like the streets are alive."
Sayu murmured with bright eyes, and smelled the various aromas of food, which were also mixed with the smell of perfume and smoke. It was a bit like coming to a food street, but it was different.
Facing this scenery that was very different from Hokkaido, she couldn't help but look around curiously. She found that there were also some karaoke shops and chain restaurants that Asahikawa had seen inside, and she couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
"Ah, there is a free agency, Ms. Shinjo."
"Idiot! I have never seen the world!"
Shinjoka bumped her with her elbow and said, "Just shut up and follow me, and don't do that kind of attention-grabbing behavior again."
"oh……"
"Anyway, let's take a walk around for a while." Tachibana Chun said as he stepped forward, gesturing for them to follow and explaining at the same time.
“Because there are all kinds of people hanging out in this area, we often walk here.
If we find women who look helpless, we will go up and talk to them. This is also how we find rescue targets on the ground."
Sayu looked around and saw many blond-haired men in suits and gorgeous girls in scantily clad clothes, but there was no helpless woman who fit the description.
She did not interrupt easily and listened intently to Tachibana's explanation.
According to what the other party said, the law treats people over and under 18 years of age completely differently.
For those women over 18 years old, there is no legal penalty even if they seek "gods". They will be classified into the category of free love and will not even make the news.
——But this cannot be done for girls under 18 years old.
First of all, places like Internet cafes and karaoke bars are no longer open to minors after 22 o'clock. Without proof of being over 18 years old, they have nowhere to go.
Secondly, any act of allowing minors to stay at home overnight without permission is illegal. Not only will you be arrested by the police, but you will also be reported in the news.
Logically speaking, under such strict management, not many people should take risks. However, the reality is very serious, and the incidence of abduction cases remains high.
The three of them walked and chatted, and gradually came to the vicinity of the TOHO building, where all kinds of people looking for customers suddenly gathered together.
"Little sister, little sister, do you want to come and have fun in the store? Now it's 2,000 yen for all-you-can-drink for an hour?"
"We have a lot of handsome guys in our family, including top graduates from Dongda University. Why don't you come in and take a look?"
"Recruiting for high-paying jobs, the hourly salary is 10,000 yen~"
"Hey, this long-haired lady, are you interested in becoming an idol? I am a talent scout, can we chat?"
"Barbecue discount coupon~please accept it."
"..."
Sayu was a little overwhelmed by the sudden situation of being blocked. Fortunately, Shinjoka took her arm in time, quickened her pace and took her out.
After walking for a while, Tachibana pointed to the roadside.
"For example, in a parking lot like this, there are often women sitting here who have nowhere to go—"
She suddenly stopped mid-sentence, her eyes fixed on something.
Sayu followed her line of sight and found a slender figure squatting in a dark corner with her knees in her arms. From the outline, she could vaguely tell that she was a woman, and she fit the characteristics of being lonely and helpless.
"Miss Tachibana, could that person...?"
"Well, not sure yet, I'll go check out the situation."
"Do you want us to come with you?"
"No, too many people may irritate each other. I can just go by myself. You guys wait for me."
