让我们做一些慈善吧！ Let’s Do Some Good! Roundabout Beijing

Today we are introducing Roundabout, one of the best known charity organizations in Beijing. 

Roundabout was established many years ago by foreign expats who have long since left Beijing but the torch has been picked up by newcomers and the charity has been growing and developing since with new projects being launched every year and new volunteers joining all the time, Chinese and foreigners.

Gail met with Mary Kate Brown to hear about Roundabout and its operations. 

我们今天要为大家介绍“众爱”，一个目前在北京最有名的慈善组织。众爱最初是由一位外籍人士在许多年前创立而成，后来随着国内外越来越多爱心人士的加入，众爱也在不断的发展壮大；现在每年都会发起新的志愿项目。在今天的节目中，Gail会和Mary Kate Brown见面，来了解下众爱这个组织以及它发起的各种活动等。

Roundabout is a social enterprise headed by volunteers. It provides free service connecting those who wish to give to those in need. Started in 2008, Roundabout was the first charity store in Chinese mainland . It now supports 48 charitable organizations across China and even Mongolia.

众爱是一个由志愿者共同管理和经营的民间慈善组织。它会通过提供免费的服务，将愿意捐助的人与需要接受捐助的人联系在一起。众爱创立于2008年，并成立了大陆首家义卖商店。迄今为止它已向众多慈善组织提供支持与帮助，包括全国范围内的48个慈善组织甚至蒙古的慈善组织。

Roundabout offers assistance by either directly passing on items you have donated or by selling them at the organization's retail store to raise funds. 

Store proceeds pay for medical treatments for orphans and others less fortunate, shelters housing for the elderly, and relief supplies in disaster zones.

众爱会将大家捐来的物品直接转送到需要接受捐助的人群手中，或在店里通过义卖来筹集善款；这些善款会被用于为孤儿和残疾儿童支付医疗费用、为养老院的老人提供住所或者为灾区提供棉被，食物和其他生活必需品等。

Donations come from individuals, enterprises and even schools. Sometimes, it was those who received donations themselves who become charitable donors.

众爱收到的捐助来自个人、企业甚至学校；而且有时曾经接受过捐助的人在之后也会成为捐助者，继续帮助他人。

For foreign expats, charity is a very important part of our life and our education growing up, and as we move to another country we often look to get involved in charity work, by doing that, we also create a sense of community and establish our social network. And of course, there is also the sense of security that if we are ever in need, there is a place we can go to. Over the years Roundabout has helped thousands of people, locals and foreigners.

对于许多外国人来说，参与慈善工作是他们生活中非常重要的一部分。有时就算到了一个新的国家，他们也会寻找一些当地的慈善组织加入；这样不仅能让这些外国朋友更有归属感，同时还能帮助他们建立一个新的社交网络。当然，在帮助别人的同时也能增强自身的安全感，因为一旦有一些事发生时，我们知道会有这样一个地方能给我们带来帮助。在过去的几年中，已经有成千上万的人得到了众爱的帮助，其中还包括不少外国人。

Roundabout accepts almost everything, from books to clothes to furniture to musical instruments. But we know how it is, many of us would like to donate but are just too lazy to make the trip to the center.

Roundabout knows that and they wish to make the donation process as simple as possible. That is why they designed the pickup service. So just gather together the things you wish to donate and simply give them a call. Roundabout will come to you.

众爱接受包括书籍、衣服、家具、乐器等等各种类型的捐赠。许多人尽管有捐赠的想法，但往往又懒得前往捐助中心。众爱对此非常了解，因此为了让这个过程尽可能的简化，捐助者只需要整理好自己想捐赠的物品，然后只需要给众爱打个电话，众爱就会派人亲自上门来取物品。

And if that's not simple enough for you, Roundabout is making it even easier to donate now by placing their donation boxes in company offices, apartment buildings and schools. So on your way to work every day, just stop by the box and leave your donated items.

如果你觉得这还不够方便的话，众爱现在甚至在不同的地方比如办公室门口、公寓门前甚至校园里设置了捐助箱，下次你去上班路过它们时，只需要顺手把想捐助的物品放进去就可以了。

With growing environmental awareness, there is now also a great advantage to donating items we don't use in order to protect the environment and reduce carbon footprint. Shopping for second hand items at the Roundabout store is also a great way to both save money and be an environmentally conscious consumer.

捐助自己不用的物品还有利于保护环境以及减少碳排放。在众爱的义卖商店里购买二手物品不但可以省钱，同时还可以对环境做成贡献。

The ideas of charity, live and environmental awareness are all embodied in Roundabout's logo, and the longer you look at it the more you understand the messages inside.

关于慈善、生命以及环保的理念全部都包含在众爱的logo之中；甚至你盯着它看的越久，你越能体会其中的含义。

Roundabout’s operation keeps getting bigger. They keep developing new programs and project all the time and open new venues where people can participate in activities and get involved.

随着新项目的开发、新门店的开业，众爱的活动在不断扩大的同时，有越来越多的人也可以参与其中。

So if everything you heard today makes you want to get off the couch and go do some good, or if you suddenly realized you have a pile of stuff in your house you wish to donate, here's is how you get in touch, get informed and get involved:
