Volunteers rise to occasion for those in need during lockdownWu Baoying: a serious dispatcher
Print Edition
To address the needs of more than 17,000 vulnerable people, several headmasters from district schools teamed up to help the cause beginning April 17.
Wu Baoying was the leader of the Nanxiang dispatcher volunteer team, communicating with 1,900 such residents in Nanxiang Town and the Xincheng Road Community along with three other headmasters.
Wu once received a call from a resident in a bad mood who wanted to be called Little S.
“He told me he lived in a cheap inn and was running out of money because he hadn’t worked for the past two months. To save money, he only ate one cup of instant noodles every other day. He sounded both worried and confused,” Wu said.
Wu then contacted the Nanxiang culture and sports service center to deliver Little S a large box of instant noodles. Shortly thereafter, she spoke with two travelers in a similar situation — lacking money to pay for their accommodations.
“One of them would probably end up on the street as he was already two days behind on rent payments,” Wu said.
She contacted the inn’s owner to extend the payment period.
Wu was surprised when Little S asked to volunteer in order to “save himself” and contribute to the fight against the virus resurgence.
“I’m not afraid of hardship,” said Little S. Then Little S and the two travelers suited up in protective suits and collected medical waste.
“I no longer need to worry about my three meals a day. Thank you, Wu. Without you, I’d be homeless,” Little S said in a message sent to Wu.
