Crossroads is a resource(物资)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 in the welfare(福利)places 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(机构)we help do not run on large budgets(预算)．They ate grass．Roots group who have seen a need and tried to meet it．They can’t get the job done without back-up, though, so our job is to help them do their work．Our warehouse(仓库)is full of goods, from computers to high chairs, clothing to books, stationery(文具)to medical provision(供应品), cupboards to dining set．They send us a list of their needs and we try to match it with what we have．
How do we operate?
Crossroads itself also operates on a low budget．We do not buy the goods we send．They are donated．(捐献)Similarly, rather than raising money for shipping, we ask transport companies do donate their services．Nobody in our organization recieves a salary．Even our full-time workers work on voluntary basis．
Those that donate goods and services：
*Factories *Hospitals
*Hotels *Schools
*Householders *Transport Companies
*Offices *Other Charities
One resource that we are always in need of is people．While we receive large quentities 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 different jobs．If you are volunteering regularly, we can offer work in some of the following categories(类别), some of the time．You are welcome to number your top three choices and we Will do our best to match them．
Paris is the capital of the European nation of France．It is also one of the most beautiful and most famous cities in the world．
Paris is called the City of Light．It is also an international fashion(时装)center．What modern women are wearing in Paris will soon be worn by many women in other parts of the world．Paris is also a famous world center of education．For instance, the headquarters of UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization, is in Paris．
The Seine River divides the city into two parts．Thirty two bridges cross this scenic river．The oldest and perhaps most well known is the Pont Neuf, which was built in the sixteenth century．The Sorbonne, a famous university, is located(位于)on the Left Bank(south side)of the river．The beautiful white church Sacre Coeur lies on top of the hill called Montmartre on the Right Bank(north bank)of the Seine．
There are many other famous places in Paris, such as the famous museum Louver as well as the cathedral of Notre Dame．However, the most famous land mark in this city must be the Eiffel Tower．
Paris is named after a group of people called the Parisii．They built a small village on an island in the middle of the Seine River about two thousand years ago．This island, called the Hedela Cite, is where Notre Dame is located．Today around eight million people live in the Paris area．
