7．Crossroads International
How does Crossroads work？
Crossroads is a resource 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 out in the welfare arena （福利院） 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 we help do not run on large budgets （预算）．They are grass-root groups who have seen a need and tried to meet it．They can't get the job done without back-up，though，so our task is to help them do their task．Our warehouse is full of goods，from computers to high chairs，clothing to books，stationery to medical provision，cupboards to dining sets．They send us a list of their needs and we try to match it with the resource we have in stock．
How do we operate？
Crossroads itself also operates on a low budget．We do not buy the goods we send．They are donated （捐赠）．Similarly，rather than raising funds for freight （货运），we ask transport companies to donate their services．Nobody in our organization receives a salary．Even our full-time staff work on a voluntary basis．
Those that donate goods and services：
●Factories●Manufacturers
●Hospitals●Hotels
●Educational Institutions●Householders
●Transport Companies●Offices
●Other Charities
One resource that we are always in need of is people．While we receive large quantities 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 tasks．If you are volunteering regularly，we can offer work in some of the following categories，some of the time．You are welcome to number your top three choices and we will do our best to accommodate （提供） them．
●Clothing categorization●Sewing
●Toy categorization●Furniture handling
●Book categorization●Driving
●Household goods categorization●Office work
●Electrical goods categorization●Book keeping
●Stationery categorization●Fund-raising
●Medical categorization

5．Watching some children trying to catch butterflies on a hot August afternoon，I was reminded of an incident in my own childhood．When I was a boy of 12in South Carolina，something happened to me that cured me forever of wanting to put any wild creature in a cage．
We lived on the edge of a wood，and every evening at dusk the mockingbirds would come and rest in the trees and sing．There isn't a musical instrument made by man that can produce a more beautiful sound than the song of the mockingbird．
I decided that I would catch a young bird and keep it in a cage and in that way would have my own private musician．
I finally succeeded in catching one and put it in a cage．At first，in its fright at being captured，the bird fluttered about the cage，but eventually it settled down in its new home．I felt very pleased with myself and looked forward to some beautiful singing from my tiny musician．
I had left the cage out on our back porch，and on the second day of the bird's captivity my new pet's mother flew to the cage with food in her mouth．The baby bird ate everything she brought to it．I was pleased to see this．Certainly the mother knew better than I how to feed her baby．
The following morning when I went to see how my captive（被俘虏的） was doing，I discovered it on the floor of the cage，dead．I was shocked!What had happened!I had taken excellent care of my little bird，or so I thought．
Arthur Wayne，the famous ornithologist，happened to be visiting my father at the time，hearing me crying over the death of my bird，explained what had occurred．"A mother mocking bird，finding her young in a cage，will sometimes bring it poison berries．She thinks it better for her young to die than to live in captivity．"
Never since then have I caught any living creature and put it in a cage．All living creatures have a right to live free．
