Crossroads International

How does Crossroads work?

Crossroads is a resource network．We take goods Hong Kong doesn’t want and give them to people who badly need them. We collect those goods and give them in the welfare(福利) places in Hong Kong．Mainland China, elsewhere in Asia，Eastern Europe and Africa．So Crossroads is just that；a Crossroads between need and resource． Who do we help?

The welfare agencies(机构) we help do not run on large budgets(预算)．They are grass-root groups who have seen a need and tried to meet it．They can’t get the job done without back-up，though，so our job is to help them do their work．Our warehouse is full of goods，from computers to high chairs．clothing to books，stationery to medical provision，cupboards to

dining sets．They send us a list of their needs and we try to match it with what we have． How do we operate?

Crossroads itself also operates on a low budget．We do not buy the goods we send．They are donated．Similarly，rather than raising money for shipping，we ask transport companies to donate their services．Nobody in our organization receives a salary．Even our full-time workers work on a voluntary(志愿的) basis． Those that donate goods and services： ·Factories ·Hotels

·Hospitals ·Schools

·Transport Companies ·Other Charities

·Householders ·Offices

One resource that we are always in need of is people．While we receive large quantities of goods and there is never a short supply of requests for them，we are always in need of hands to help sort and prepare them for shipping． What can I do?

We are always in need of people．We have a lot of different jobs．If you are volunteering regularly，we can offer work in some of the following categories．some of the time．You are welcome to number your top three choices and we Will do our best to match them． ·Clothing categorization(分类) ·Toy categorization

·Book categorization ·Household goods categorization ·Electrical goods categorization ·Medical categorization ·Furniture handling ·Driving ·Office work ·Money-raising Where to find us?

Do you want to improve the way you study? Do you feel nervous before a test? Many students say that a lack of concentration (注意力) is their biggest problem. It seriously affects their ability to study, so do their test results.

If so, use these tips to help you. Study Techniques ? You should always study in the same place. You shouldn’t sit in a position that you use for another purpose. For example, when you sit on a sofa to study, your brain will think it is time to relax. Don’t watch TV while you are studying. Experts warn that your concentration may be reduced by 50 percent if you attempt to study in this way. Always try to have a white wall in front of you, so there is nothing to distract (make less concentrated) you. Before sitting down to study, gather together all the equipment you need. Apart from your textbooks, pens, pencils and knives, make sure you have a dictionary. If your study desk or table is needed when you are not studying, store all your equipment in a box beside it.

? Your eyes will become tired if you try to read a text which is on a flat surface. Position your book at an angle of 30 degrees.

? Be realistic and don’t try to complete too much in one study period. Finish one thing before beginning another. If you need a break, get up and walk around for a few minutes, but try not to telephone a friend or have something to eat.

Test-taking Skills ? All your hard work will be for nothing if you are too nervous to take your test. Getting plenty

of

rest is very important. This means do not study all night before your test! It is a better idea to have a long-term study plan. Try to make a timetable for your study which lasts for a few months. ? Exercise is a great way to reduce pressure. Doing some form of exercise every day will also improve your concentration. Eat healthy food too.
