I am glad to see so much discussion about NGOs. I think this forum will help me make correct options to some extent. I am over 30 ages, but I still have a strong desire to work in a NGO, for I think NGOers will have a bright future in China after knowing of some knowledges about NGOs' activity in foreign countries, in relief of natural desasters. I am beyond the age of seeking exercise and experience from society, I just want to tell others that charity and helping other people are ordinary things to do, a part of our daily life. Maybe I am naive but I have the will.

However, I figured out lots of problems in its program running. It aims to seek the fairness for the indigent defendants all over the world. But it treats its hard-working and warm-hearted staff very unfairly. This year's working experience breaks all my dreams in life.

It is a very hard experience but I feel very happy, because I know I am doing the things that I truly enjoy. All the things I have done, such as serving as a relief volunteer in Chengdu city, teaching in Yunnan Province, and having part-time jobs in Beijing, I have done in pursuit of my goal to work in an NGO. Fortunately, I finally got an internship opportunity. Looking back and pondering, I found a little satisfaction in searching for the value of life, but the suffering is intolerable. I have always thought, if I cannot earn a living in this city, then what shall I do?

Its boss messes around in the name of the United Nations as well as environmental protection. Young employees of this enterprise have to swallow their pride and work with such a sham environmental protection organization for a bread-earning job.

In no place in this world that I know of, will you a make a considerable amount of money in such work. In my opinion, this makes those who work for NGOs earn much more respect. Nevertheless, those who do work for an NGO deserve an average salary and a stable position just as Zhang wishes. I hope the Zhang life holds a bright future and he is able to support his family and live his dream. I believe the current restrictions on NGOs in China are making jobs unavailable in the sector. The current basis for not allowing them to have more than one similar NGO in one city or county and to not allow an NGO to grow outside a particular country does not makes sense. NGOs will not usurp the CCP current government control but will focus on its purpose to protect the environment, support human rights, etc. Tue, 29 Apr 2008 11:39:44 -0400 http://www.chinadialogue.net/article/summary/1802#comment-7284 http://www.chinadialogue.net/article/summary/1802#comment-7284 I am currently working with an environmental NGO in Chengdu. I don’t feel any difference from working with other corporations. I really didn’t understand why NGO has remained a topic of controversy in the past. Until recently I came to realize that China’s NGO can play a very important role in China under its market-economy system.

In comparison to professional NGOs in western countries, NGOs in China as a whole face challenges not only from the pressure of working conditions, but also from the governance mechanism of the country. As such, it is very difficult for China's NGOs to make necessary contribution to the society. The limitation imposed by the government policies is another factor which can not be ignored. I am also considering if I shall choose to work for a NGO.

The financial pressure from life and family has made my dream to be Public Utility activist impossible to realize, at least in the recent years. I will still pay attention to the cause of environment protection and public beneift activites and even make some some contribution in my spare time.
