As for the office location, I will temporarily set it in Qingshuang Pavilion in the mansion. After entering, turn around the screen wall and it will be the attic on the west side.
It is also easy to get in and out.
Anyway, she is the only master living in the Zhao Mansion now, and there are still many empty rooms, which can be used to accommodate the foundation's employees.
Xue Huan went to the shop and ordered a plaque - Daqing Charity Foundation.
Within two days after the plaque was hung, Chen Tian recruited the people.
There were six in total. After Xue Huan had a general understanding of their situation, he appointed these six people as ministers of six departments respectively.
Investigation Department - investigates which individuals or organizations need donations. Of course, the foundation's current funding target is mainly orphans.
Previously, Chen Tian’s inquiry into the situation of various welfare and child welfare bureaus in the city could be regarded as the work of the inspection department.
After the inspection department determines the recipients of donations, they still need to be reviewed, so an audit department must be set up.
After the audit department confirms that there is no problem, the finance department can allocate funds.
Of course, it is best not to give the money directly to the recipients to avoid corruption. In the early stages, it is better to donate materials directly, such as food, clothing, books, etc.
At this time, the purchasing department is needed to purchase supplies.
Once the supplies are purchased, the transportation department will deliver them to the recipients.
Finally, a fundraising department must be set up to raise funds and materials from the outside world.
When doing charity, you have to encourage everyone to do it, right? She has to popularize the concept of charity to the general public, giving those rich people who have too much money to spend a chance to spend it on meaningful things!
Xue Huan asked the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous banquet and hosted it in Qingshuang Pavilion to entertain the seven elders of the foundation.
At the banquet, she gave a speech, introducing her original intention of establishing the foundation, the foundation's operating model, and her good wishes that all orphans can be properly treated and grow up well.
In short, it's just a lot of chicken soup.
Chen Tian and the others were very moved when they heard this.
Regardless of whether they were truly moved or pretending to be, at least they showed an attitude of being willing to fulfill their duties for the foundation, which is good.
Xue Huan didn't expect them to sacrifice their lives for her as soon as they arrived. That was unrealistic.
The basic framework of the foundation has been established, and the next step is to carry out specific operations.
The foundation’s first project was the three child welfare bureaus in Fengchi County.
Xue Huan decided to personally guide several employees who had just joined the organization and let them experience firsthand how the foundation operates.
Because the foundation is not well-known yet, the fundraising project is not planned to be launched for the time being. All funds come from personal donations from the president Xue Huan.
She temporarily placed 10,000 taels in the association as an initial cash flow.
Now that we have the funds, it’s time to get down to business.
Under Xue Huan's guidance, Zhu Ming, director of the inspection department, wrote an application - he wanted to visit the children in three welfare bureaus including Qionglin Welfare Bureau and inspect the situation. He also applied for a sum of 100 taels of funds to buy snacks and food.
Xue Huan stamped and signed as she spoke, "To ensure that every expenditure of funds is traceable, you must submit an application every time you need to use money. If the amount is under one hundred taels, Vice President Chen can sign and stamp it if I'm not around, but if it's over one hundred taels, my permission is required."
Zhu Ming nodded to indicate that he understood.
Afterwards, he took the application signed and stamped by Xue Huan and went to the Minister of Finance Liu Suanbu to withdraw money.
Liu Bu Suan was an extremely good accountant and was highly respected in the accountant circle, but he was too stubborn to cheat, and ended up being bitten back by his former customers, ruining his reputation.
So much so that even though they are very capable, they cannot find a job to make a living.
When Chen Tian found him, he could hardly pay the rent and was kicked out by the landlord.
After reading the application and confirming that it was correct, Liu Suan took out a hundred taels of silver notes from the box and gave it to him.
Zhu Ming got the money, put it carefully in his arms, and followed Xue Huan out.
Of course, as Xue Huan's personal maid, Ah Man naturally followed her by her side.
Sitting in the spacious carriage, Xue Huan asked, "Mr. Zhu, what gifts should I buy for visiting the children at the Children's Welfare Bureau?"
Zhu Ming replied, "Since it's your first time, it's better to buy some cakes and snacks, as well as some toys and books."
Zhu Ming himself was raised by his widowed mother. When he was a child, what he looked forward to most was having snacks to eat, toys to play with, books to read, and new clothes to wear.
If I think about them from my own perspective, I think the orphans in the orphanage are probably in the same situation.
Xue Huan nodded.
The group used one hundred taels of public funds to buy some food, toys and books.
In this era when one tael of silver was enough for an ordinary person to spend for one or two months, the purchasing power of one hundred taels of silver was still quite strong. After buying a lot of things, there were still more than ten taels left.
Because there were too many things to fit, Xue Huan hired another carriage specifically for the things.
Then the group came to the Qionglin Children's Welfare Bureau.
Under the big elm tree at the door, a group of children were playing, playing marbles, cockfighting, and climbing trees, like a group of little monkeys.
Seeing Xue Huan and the others getting out of the carriage, the children looked over curiously.
A little boy's marble rolled to Xue Huan's feet. He walked over and picked up the marble, looking at Xue Huan with his big black eyes.
Xue Huan noticed that his leg was lame.
She squatted down in front of the little boy and said, "Sister, I'll ask you a few questions. If you can answer them, I'll give you some delicious cakes. Okay?"
She opened a box of pastries, and the little boy stared at the exquisite treats inside, swallowed, and nodded.
Xue Huan first asked his name, and when she learned it was Doudou, she asked him, "Where is your home?"
Doudou pointed at the Huiyou Bureau.
Xue Huan took a piece of osmanthus cake and handed it to him, "Eat it."
Doudou was holding the osmanthus cake in his hand, he couldn't believe it. He thought the older sister was going to ask him some questions, but it turned out to be so simple.
Seeing him get a delicious-looking snack so easily, the other children couldn't help but come closer and stare at Xue Huan eagerly.
Xue Huan said, "Come, line up one by one. If each of you answers a question for me, you can get a piece of cake."
The children lined up in a hurry.
"What do you usually eat?"
"How many meals a day do you eat?"
"Do you have new clothes for the New Year?"
etc.
Xue Huan asked some very common questions, and the children chattered and rushed to answer.
When they actually got the pastries and put them in their mouths, they were a little stunned. Oh my God, how could there be something so delicious!
Although the Qionglin Children's Bureau is government-run, it's easy to imagine that the children here are lucky enough to have enough food and warm clothes on weekdays, and they probably have few opportunities to eat snacks.
So much so that even an ordinary osmanthus cake tastes wonderful in their mouths.
