Crossroads International

How does Crossroads work?

Crossroads is a resource network. We take goods Hong Kong doesn’t want and give them to people who badly need them. We collect those goods and give them out in the welfare arena(福利院) in Hong Kong, Mainland China, elsewhere in Asia, Eastern Europe and Africa. So Crossroads is just that: a Crossroads between need and resource.

Who do we help?

The welfare agencies we help do not run on large budgets(預(yù)算). They are grass-root groups who have seen a need and tried to meet it. They can’t get the job done without back-up, though, so our task is to help them do their task. Our warehouse is full of goods, from computers to high chairs, clothing to books, stationery(文具) to medical provision, cupboards to dinning sets. They send us a list of their needs and we try to match it with the resource we have in stock.

How do we operate?

Crossroads itself also operates on a low budget. We do not buy the goods we send. They are donated. Similarly, rather than raising funds for freight(貨運)，we ask transport companies to donate their services. Nobody in our organization receives a salary. Even our full-time staff works on a voluntary basis.

Those that donate goods and services:

·Factories ·Manufacturers ·Hospitals ·Hotels  ·Householders

·Offices  ·Other Charities ·Transport Companies ·Educational Institutions

One resource that we are always in need of is people. While we receive large quantities of goods and there is never a short supply of requests for them, we are always in need of hands to help sort and prepare them for shipping.

What can I do?

We are always in need of people. We have a lot of tasks. If you are volunteering regularly, we can offer work in some of the following categories, some of the time. You are welcome to number your top three choices and we will do our best to accommodate them.

·Clothing categorization ·Sewing ·Toy categorization ·Furniture handling

·Driving ·Book categorization ·Household goods categorization ·Office work

·Electrical goods categorization ·Book keeping ·Fund- raising

·Stationery categorization ·Medical categorization

While Andrew was getting ready for work one Friday morning, he announced to his wife that he had finally decided to ask his boss for a salary raise.

Tears   33   in Andrew’s eyes. Total acceptance! Tina’s support for him was not   34   upon his success at work.

Hey there,

So you’re about to spend four years of your life and tens of thousands of dollars of your parents’ money, and all you really know about college is that all of your friends are going. Do you ever stop to wonder why you’re going?

Relax. You’re making the right decision. First of all, you’ll discover what interests you by taking courses in many subjects. For example, it’s hard to decide if you want to be a painter if you’ve never painted any pictures; once you’re in a drawing-room on campus, you’ll know one way or the other. College is also a lot of fun—after you graduate, you’ll be working every weekday for 50 or so years. And remember that college graduates get about twice the income of those who never attended college.

Finding the right college can be difficult. Fortunately, Johnson Review is here to help you every step of the way.

Researching School. To us, the most important decision you’ll make is to choose the school that really fits you best---- not the one that is the most competitive or has the best-equipped rooms.

Applying to School. On JohnsonReview.com, you’ll find hundreds of actual college applications(申請) and links to many more.

Raising Your Scores. American College Test is one of the most important parts of the admissions(錄取) course. It’s not the most important, though, and not everyone needs to prepare for the best. But, if you think you can do better, find the right course for better scores.

Paying for School. Most families need financial aid for the high cost of college. The problem is that financial aid seems difficult to get and many families get caught up in the price of college. However, if you really do your research, you’ll learn that there are many ways to get financial aid and that you can afford to attend any college, no matter the cost.
