ICSO-the full name International Commonweal support organization, the Chinese name is the International Commonweal Support Organization, and it is a non-governmental non-profit organization that supports poor children.
The organization was founded on July 28, 2017. It was originally initiated by two international students and quickly attracted the attention of Chinese international students from Britain, France, the United States, Australia and other countries.
The organization has launched a 1v1 key support project since August 2018 to provide funding to special poor children in Qingyuan and Heyuan, Guangdong. . In the year since the organization was founded, it has completed a number of projects including a point-to-point support plan for five schools in the China-Guangdong region, benefiting nearly a thousand students. The organization is expected to cover Guangxi, Hunan and other regions with support projects by 2020, and fund more than 20 schools to help 5,000 students.
As China’s public welfare started late compared with developed countries, the 2016 Charity Law was officially implemented, and various related policies followed. In the beginning, China’s philanthropy had many problems such as low attention, scarcity of personnel, and tight funds. However, with the further development of China’s philanthropy, these problems have been greatly improved in recent years.
The status quo of public welfare in the new era, behavioral public welfare has received extensive attention from everyone, and everyone can participate and contribute their own strength to public welfare through their own practical actions. The regulation, civilianization, and transparency of charity and public welfare. Nowadays, Internet public welfare has been greatly popularized, and online donations have become more and more transparent. Public welfare project platform information release platforms include Tencent Public Welfare, Taobao Public Welfare, Baidu Public Welfare, etc. Of more than 20 companies, online donation has become the mainstream. The public welfare that has entered the sight of the public spreads more quickly, conveying the sense of responsibility and correct values of citizens. The 2018 “Government Work Report” first mentioned the importance of “the healthy development of volunteer services” and the comprehensive promotion of targeted poverty alleviation and targeted poverty alleviation strategy proposed by General Secretary Xi Jinping, and the promotion of relevant policies, so that public welfare activities have won the support of the government. , Got a huge space for development.
The future development trend of public welfare undertakings mainly includes sustainable development of shared public welfare ecology and social enterprise movement. Specifically, it includes cultivating disciplinary and professional charity talents, setting up charity programs in colleges and universities, cultivating professional talents, and at the same time relying on institutional training and college cooperation to provide a learning environment for high-tech talents, and at the same time going to high schools to convey the concept of charity , To convey the positive energy of public welfare. The highly open attitude of the public welfare ecology, the combination of industry integration and cross-border integration, jointly promote the highly open network of the public welfare ecology, and the highly open atmosphere is conducive to the formation of a benign public welfare ecological cycle, and promote mutual integration and cross-border cooperation. Venture philanthropy projects have diversified investment entities. The investment entities are not limited to the government, but more from the private sector. Support the development of the capabilities of social organizations with investment thinking, pay more attention to risk management, organize investment training of personnel, cultivate investment mentality, and establish long-term partnerships with investees to achieve the purpose of promoting capabilities and innovation. Incorporating cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, VR, and other blockchains, from design and implementation, with the help of technological applications, to improve efficiency and transparency of donations, so that every public welfare on the Internet can be traced. Cross-border cooperation. Mobilize superior resources and influential companies to achieve cross-departmental and cross-industry cooperation, have common goals and a reasonable division of labor, give play to their respective strengths, and solve social problems together on a large scale. The last is to give full play to the novelty of fund-raising activities, so that the public can do charity while enjoying and healthy life.
The general environment of China’s public welfare has made China’s public welfare undertakings more confident. In the days to come, ICSO will continue to promote charity work in China’s education industry, combine science and technology with public welfare, and further solve the medical poverty in eastern China. The region provides medical treatment, as an organizer, spreads to the public on a larger scale, draws on the creativity of the Red Nose Festival and the Ice Bucket Challenge, and gains the attention of the people. In this way, the attention of the people has attracted the attention of relevant institutions. Through my own efforts, I encourage more young people to join the ranks of ICSO, pass on the love of ICSO, and convey the meaning of public welfare.
In the eyes of the public, international students should be successful, rather than choosing to pursue a public welfare cause that may have no future. In this regard, the founder of ICSO, Mr. Gates Yao, mentioned the term “mission” the most. They have received higher education. , I have also seen more difficult things in the world. The choices they made were not wrong and deserved to be admired by all of us. I believe that in the future work, with the further development of public welfare undertakings, their future will be bright.
