The poachers—illegal hunters—had finally found a buyer for their stolen goods. A meeting was    36    , and when the buyer asked to see the goods, they brought out a small duffel bag and unzipped it. Inside was a    37    one-year-old baby gorilla. The poachers had likely killed the little female’s parents and    38    her in the forests of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, in Africa. Then they took her across the border into Rwanda,    39    to sell her as a pet.

But the buyer didn’t bring    40    ; he brought the police. The Rwandan authorities    41    the young gorilla to the nearby headquarters of the Mountain Gorilla Veterinary Project. The vets(兽医)there realized that she had not been given    42    food or water, but they were much more worried about something else.

“Baby gorillas simply don’t    43    without their mother’s constant body contact,” says vet Chris Whittier. If they didn’t quickly establish a    44    relationship with the baby gorilla, which her caretakers named Dunia, she    45    not survive.

Dunia needed contact, but she resisted    46    at first, shying away from people who reached for her. Three caretakers worked in shifts, taking    47    holding her, carrying her around on their backs, and cradling her while she slept.    48    she became stronger, a month after she was rescued her    49    revealed the psychological stress she carried inside—much of her hair fell out. That was a delayed    50    to the combined traumatic experiences of losing her parents and being kept—with a poor diet—by the poachers.

      After six months of loving care that included around-the-clock attention, a good diet, and a    51    home at the project’s headquarters, Dunia was looking and acting like a    52    , happy young gorilla should. “Dunia is sort of a shy show-off,” says Whittier. “Her    53    is growing and she’s becoming more independent, but when she is    54    , the first thing she does is run back to her    55    , just like she would to her mother.”

It looks exactly like other handicraft (手工艺品) shops in a traditional Chinese hutong, or alley, except that each item has a story. The city's first-of-its-kind charity shop, owned by Nathan Zhang, sells Chinese handicrafts along with used books, clothes and other items. The concept is that money from what is sold is donated to help rural (农村的) women in China.

“Many NGOs (non-governmental organizations) produce their own things but don't have a place to sell it,” said Zhang, who returned to Beijing in 2008 after working in Canada for nearly a decade in the telecommunications world. “A rural women's group tried to open a little shop but only sold two things. When they put their products in my shop, everything sold out.”

Located in Wudaoying Hutong in Dongcheng district, Brand Nu's walls are lined with handicrafts from a number of different NGO supported projects aimed at benefiting women across the country. The other half of the space is filled with almost brand-new clothes that have been donated from Beijing citizens. The jackets, dresses, tops and pants sell for around 30 yuan ($4.40) each.

Most of the money Brand Nu gets goes directly to the Beijing Cultural Development Center for Rural Women. The NGO offers a number of programs for poor women, including literacy classes (识字班), support networks and mental health education.

Zhang is also working with a local Scottish designer to create a clothing line made from the fabric (织物) of second-hand garments. And he is collecting books and raising money to help the NGO build a library near Beijing. He plans on expanding his product line soon as well, engaging more disadvantaged women to make sweaters, soaps and other items that he can sell in Beijing to help raise their socioeconomic status in the countryside.

Yet with ambitions come worries. Right now Zhang is operating on a shoestring budget and looking for work on the side to support both his business and his family. “I wanted to do something meaningful,” said Zhang. “If you can help one woman, you can help an entire family.”
