Two. Since the establishment of Blue Sky Volunteer Activities, the services of Blue Sky Volunteer Association have covered such fields as visiting care, helping the disabled, charity assistance, teaching aid, legal aid, environmental protection, primary health care, cultural (literary) poverty alleviation, and transportation assistance. The following are some long-term projects: 1, long-term and in-depth community volunteer service activities. In 2002, Blue Sky volunteers set up eight community comprehensive service groups in the old town of Shantou, and organized members to provide targeted, long-term and substantial services to the "widowed and disabled" families in the community, and regularly come to help the widowed and disabled elderly to clean, wash and cook, buy food and buy food, see a doctor, and even repair houses and improve living conditions. Members of Blue Sky Volunteers have established close family relationships with their helpers. Many helpers, especially widowed elderly people, rely on and trust volunteer members and praise them for being more caring than their children. For poor families, the Blue Sky Volunteers Association constantly mobilizes social resources, and often raises a large amount of materials to be sent to the recipients. Every month, a batch of fixed materials will be raised and distributed to the helpers. Every year, when the Spring Festival comes, Blue Sky volunteers will hold a large-scale material distribution activity of "Welcome the Spring Festival into Ten Thousand Families" to distribute seasonal materials such as rice, noodles, cooking oil, Spring Festival couplets, candy and clothes to nearly 1,000 poor families helped by the association, so that the needy people can spend a happy and peaceful Spring Festival with the care of all walks of life. 2. Care for students, and carry out long-term education activities. In the process of providing services in the community, Blue Sky volunteers learned that many poor students have low self-esteem and poor academic performance due to family environment and economic reasons, so they sprouted the idea of setting up a student counseling station. In 2002, some volunteers began to provide students with one-on-one academic counseling. In 2003, Yongxiang Street established the first counseling station. After half a year's development, the counseling station has rapidly developed from 9 students and 7 teachers to 60 students and teachers, basically forming a good situation of one-on-one and one-on-one teaching. Every Saturday and Sunday, volunteers help students learn various subjects on time. After the success of the pilot, Blue Sky volunteers contacted eight schools one after another to provide long-term counseling to the poor students in the schools. Student-aided counseling not only improves children's academic performance, makes them change passive learning into active learning, but also gradually changes their inferiority and closed personality, and obviously improves their self-esteem and self-confidence. At present, there are nearly 300 students in 9 student assistance consultation stations every week. And every semester, a love trip is held to lead poor students to visit the patriotic education base, so that these students who rarely go out to play can spend unforgettable festivals. "No matter how hard you are, you can't suffer from children, and no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education." In order to help students from poor families to reduce the pressure of paying tuition fees, since 2003, Blue Sky volunteers began to organize student assistance activities to raise tuition fees for poor students through charity bazaars or extensive publicity and mobilization. Up to now, more than 2 million yuan of scholarships have been granted, which has greatly eased the economic pressure of poor families. 3. Carry out environmental protection activities, spread modern civilization and cultivate environmental protection concepts. The Blue Sky Volunteers Association has always been committed to environmental protection. In order to publicize environmental protection knowledge and improve citizens' sense of ownership and social responsibility, in April 2006, Blue Sky volunteers launched the "One Day Volunteer Environmental Protection" activity. Every Sunday morning, members lead nearly 100 citizens and students to clean up, pick up garbage and remove psoriasis, and make efforts to beautify the city with practical actions. Up to now, nearly 20,000 people have participated in this activity. This activity has become one of the regular brand projects of Blue Sky volunteers. 65438+On February 3rd, 2006, in order to celebrate the International Volunteer Day, Blue Sky volunteers joined forces with nine volunteer groups in five cities, including Wuxi Happy Volunteers, Dalian Environmental Volunteers Association, Dalian Guo Dajie Love Home, Dalian Xinlianxin 365 Volunteers Association, Chaozhou Sunshine Volunteers Group, Chenghai Sunshine Volunteers Association and Friends of the Earth, to carry out environmental protection activities, which was the first time that domestic volunteer groups carried out activities with the same theme in different places, and also promoted the north and south.
