Chapter 14: Welfare Institutions

This welfare agency for children with autism was only registered at the beginning of this century and has a history of almost a decade.

The former Springfield Huahua Orphanage closed down in the 90s of the last century, and the buildings in the park were abandoned for nearly a decade or so, until a wealthy businessman funded the conversion of the place into a welfare institution for autistic children.

"How's the money here, enough to stay afloat, right?" I care.

Nuno lowered his head and looked embarrassed: "Since this welfare organization mainly relies on the funding of public welfare organizations in the society, and all our staff are unpaid, at present, it can be maintained." However, if this continues, once there is no financial support from non-profit organizations, they will face the risk of closing their doors at any time. ”

Hearing this, Li Meng also took the initiative to join the discussion of this topic, and she asked: "Generally, isn't the government department responsible for the management of a welfare structure like this?" ”

"In the early days of the construction of this welfare institution, the government did propose to take it over, but the wealthy businessmen who were the main investors at that time did not agree. ”

"Why would the rich businessmen disagree, let the government take over, and then send a special person in charge to manage it, what a good thing." Li Meng was very puzzled.

Nuo Nuo replied with a smile: "Actually, the wealthy businessman who funded the fund is the father of an autistic child, and he funded this welfare institution in order to give his child a professional place for treatment and activity exchange. Maybe he wasn't short of money at that time, maybe he was ready to close the institution when his child was cured, who can say clearly? ”

Li Meng nodded as if he didn't understand, and then I asked, "When the Springfield Huahua Orphanage was closed, how did the children arrange it?" ”

"I don't know much about that, but I've heard from the older staff here that when the orphanage closed, most of the children in the orphanage found adoptive families, and some of the older children were sent to vocational schools to learn their trades. During this period, there are also some folk art groups that come here to find children who are suitable for learning art, such as dance, duo turn, lion dance, acrobatics and other groups. This can be regarded as a place for children to go and a craft to eat in the future. The last remaining children were sent to other orphanages in other provinces. Nono said, a look of worry on his face.

It seems that some children have indeed been selected by folk art groups, after all, some arts require children's skills. In the early years, there were often some art groups performing around, especially the troupe, and in the process of performing around, there were some poor families who could not afford to raise their children, and directly sent their children to the opera troupe to study, and then the children wandered around with the troupe, and even never saw their parents again.

It's not that parents don't feel sorry for their children, it's just that in those days, staying at home would only starve to death. Sending away to learn art is just a helpless move.

We talked about some innocuous things again, in Li Meng's eyes, this is all my means of making a girl. I didn't bother to argue with her, and after a few small talks, I began to ask if there was anything left after the orphanage closed.

"When the orphanage closed down, the building was empty, but a lot of equipment and some documents were left behind." Nono thought for a moment and recalled.

I immediately asked, "Is there a roster in the paper?!" ”

After all, the orphanage is a charity, and the children sent to the orphanage will be registered, their name, age, place of origin, home address and other identification information. There is also the situation of parents and relatives, which is why they were sent to orphanages.

"There should be, after all, it's something more important." Nono blinked and nodded at me.

"Where's the roster?" I asked again.

"If the roster hadn't been lost when the orphanage closed, it would have been inherited by the current welfare institution, but most of these paper documents would have been locked in the archives. After all, these things are not usually used, but they are not good to throw away at will, so they can only be thrown away in the archives. ”

It's the archives again, and my head really gets big when I hear that name. When the Serious Crime Team retrieved the case file of the shooting and murder case, I escaped and did not participate. Now it seems that there is really a reincarnation in the way of heaven, and if you come out to mix, you will have to pay it back sooner or later, and Li Meng and I will have to pay it back!

There is no real person in charge of this autistic child welfare agency, because the staff are all unpaid volunteers, so every staff member here is a person in charge.

Everyone gathers here for the sake of love, so not to mention the character or something, everything in the organization is shared.

Nono went to the duty room to get the key, found the key to the archive room in a large bunch of keys, and immediately led us to the door of the archive room.

"This archive room has been locked for a long time, after all, all the materials are now on computers, so no one usually enters or leaves here at all."

Nuno stood in front of the door of the archive room, and the slender jade held the key in his hand and opened the lock for a long time, and it took a lot of effort to open the door lock.

As she said, because no one comes and goes here all year round, everything in the house is covered with thick dust, and there is a big musty smell in the air.

Li Meng and I walked into the archives, and Nono followed, worried that the dust would stain her dress. But she didn't think so, and helped us find the roster together.

Li Meng opened several wooden boxes in the corner, which were full of old sporting goods left over from the orphanage, rattles, small wooden horses, and a dozen deflated leather balls.

Luckily, there are relatively few paper documents here, and I easily found a few thick rosters on the tall filing cabinets, and there were three major rosters, all of which were wire-bound.

I stood on tiptoe and pulled out the three rosters I needed from the tall papers, and the room was filled with dust.

With three rosters in hand, we walked into a spacious and bright classroom, ready to look for information about Chen Qiu.

"Do you want to wipe your hands?"

At the bathroom door, I handed over a pack of tissues.

She smiled at me, pulled out a piece of paper very gracefully, returned the rest of the tissue to me, and said softly, "Thank you." ”

I smiled and nodded in response, turned around and handed the tissue to Li Meng: "Do you want it?" ”

"Don't!" Li Meng's attitude was very bad, he didn't give me a good look at all, and wiped his pants with his water-stained hands.

I shook my head, thinking to myself, I am afraid of comparisons in everything, in the criminal police team, which is basically a place where men are all men, sometimes I think Li Meng is quite ladylike. At present, compared with the teacher Nuo Nuo next to him, he is obviously a man.

Teacher Nuo Nuo is really beautiful and kind, and took the initiative to help us find Chen Qiu's information together.

In the classroom, we each had a roster and searched for it according to Chen Qiu's identity information.

Chen Qiu, male, 6 years old, local......
