Last Saturday, 27th February, I had to wake up early for Red Cross Flag Day. A day where I roam around public asking people to put their donations into the tins I carry.
Anyway, I too, met up with interesting people.
Auntie: I dont have any money, even if I have some, I would'nt even want to donate it to you guys! [In Chinese]
Man: What to do with the sticker?
Me: Stick it on your shirt or anywhere? To proof that you have donated to us.
Man: Means I dont need to donate anymore?
Me: Depends on you.
But, theres one thing that really change my view for this organization, was when I come back. I only manage to atleast get half of the tin full with money.
Quantity over quality, my teacher was not satisfied with the work I got, they told me that I MUST fill the whole tin up. As like other people, I asked them back, "What about notes? There are some who donated $10 and $5 notes, its as good as having it almost full."
But they didn't care, so I told them I am not going to care about this nonsense anymore. They told me that, if I dont get the whole tin full, they wont give me CIP hours.
Back there, I was already on the verge of cursing and swearing them barrage of profanities. It sickens me, why does a well high society organization like Red Cross is doing such sickening thing? This is not hardwork or whatever it is. From my point of view, this is GREED.
