Yesterday, media reports reported that Li Yuning, Secretary General of Jiangsu Red Cross Society, introduced donations every year. clothing Nearly 100 thousand pieces, "the cost of exporting clothes is basically a kilogram of about 6 yuan, spanportation costs a year will be hundreds of thousands of yuan." Netizens questioned after the news report. Yesterday afternoon, Li Yuning, Secretary General of the Red Cross Society of Jiangsu Province, told our reporter's telephone interview that this is a misreading. 6 yuan is all the cost of processing and spanportation. The focus of their appeal is to help sorting. clothes Not donations.

Cause

Too much freight for donated clothing has caused many netizens to question.

According to voice of China, Jiangsu Red Cross In order to send clean and tidy old clothes to the people in need, the disaster relief and disaster preparedness center purchased equipment and set up a washing Center since 2007, cleaning, disinfecting, ironing, and packaging the old clothes donated by society according to the requirements and standards. Li Yuning, Secretary General of the Red Cross Society of Jiangsu Province, said that nearly 100 thousand pieces of clothing were received each year, but about 20 thousand pieces were washed each year, and the old clothes needed in the province decreased with the economic development. The remaining more than 10000 were spanported to the remote areas such as Yunnan, Gansu and Guizhou, but the Red Cross would hardly bear the spanportation cost of long-distance spanportation. According to Li Yuning's rough estimate, the cost of spanporting clothes is basically about 6 yuan a kilogram, and the spanportation cost to the field in the year is hundreds of thousands of yuan.

Reported that Li Yuning said that according to the provisions of the freight should be borne by the recipient, but because of high spanportation costs, many areas can not afford to, the final freight will be borne by the provincial Red Council. Li Yuning hopes that more caring people will help and donate some freight, and that the Red Cross will strictly follow the wishes of the donors.

Dialogue

Li Yuning, Secretary General of Jiangsu Red Cross Society: these mockery makes people feel cold.

In response to public opinion, yesterday afternoon, the reporter interviewed Li Yuning, Secretary General of Jiangsu Red Cross.

Interviewer: do you see the doubts on the Internet?

Li Yuning: some words on the Internet are chilling. We are doing good things. We are also being ridiculed and questioned. It is chilling! Today, several media have come to interview. Some of them have called several charitable organizations and asked if they could not accept old clothes. Only we are collecting.

In our clothes, we have old socks and even underwear. We need to pick out the ones that can't be repaired first. The clothes that we can't use will be destroyed, and the rest can be cleaned and sterilized, and finally packed and spanported. Despite the trouble, I also asked the staff to "receive unconditionally" because no matter how old or how old they were, they were the love of the people. If you don't choose to do that, you may embarrass the donor and hurt their love. Some people say, why do you still do this? I often say that the old clothes donated by the poor are 1 million of the donation from the rich, and they are the same on the scale of love.

Reporter: some people on the Internet have questioned the fact that only 20 thousand pieces can be washed in a year?

Li Yuning: Yes, someone gave us a count... I am not good at math, but do they take it into account? Rainy days do not wash clothes. They do not do laundry. Also, our staff do not rest for 365 days? At present, we have an infrared disinfection equipment in our washing center, 3 people operate, and more than 10 other sorting clothes.

Reporter: netizens also think that the cost of 6 yuan per kilogram of clothes is a little expensive.

Li Yuning: this sentence is misread. I mean, from sorting, disinfection, storage to spanportation, all the cost of the whole link will add up to 6 yuan per kilogram, not the spanportation link, "one kilogram and 6 yuan".

Reporter: how much is a kilogram?

Li Yuning: different places, freight rates are different... Now the logistics companies are also market-oriented, not because you shipped these clothes is a cheaper donation, there are some logistics companies in the market cheaper, but we tend to choose a reputable big business, because fear of donations of things, in case of loss or other problems, more trouble.

Reporter: is this fee a heavy burden on the red conference? So there is a call for money.

Li Yuning: these freight charges are all handled by the Hong Kong Association. They are squeezed out of office funds and are pressure on us. But we did not call for donations. My original saying is this order: because sorting clothes need a lot of people, followed by disinfection and other links, and finally pack, box, and also need manpower. I said that if there is a public willing to offer love to help dress or pack, and if there is a vehicle, can help spanport, "rich money, powerful efforts" to ease the pressure of the red club, is also a voluntary behavior. In addition, if the public is willing to donate money, we promise to make special funds according to our wishes. We will announce the details and invoices in time and in time to make everyone feel at ease. Previous reports have talked too much about "donating money", saying that "appealed to volunteer help" is behind, and may be misunderstood.

Reporter: Voice of these doubts has a real impact on the work?

Li Yuning: some employees have emotions. I comfort them. After a long time, you will understand. Of course, we also received some support feedback. Some companies said they would be willing to subsidize a trip, ask where we need to go, how much money we need to get there, and a more than 60 year old aunt said she wanted to donate money. But because of the fact that this year's clothing activities are almost digestible, we have declined to leave their contact information and say they need help when they need it. But chill is cold, but we will always do our work well.
