"When I saw the initiative for the 'Caring Mothers' recruitment, I didn't hesitate to sign up. On April 12, after many prior communications with the child's grandmother, I finally met with Xiaoting (pseudonym), a child in distress. Xiaoting is in the fourth grade this year, her parents are deaf and mute, and she has two older brothers. They lived with their grandparents in a small house near a primary school in the county seat, and their lives were tight. ”
Recalling her experience of becoming a "caring mother of daylilies", Fan Liying, executive committee member of the Xinjiang County Women's Federation, remembers it vividly. She said that from the moment she began to contact children, she had a responsibility and more concern in her heart. So she took advantage of her family education, chatted with her children, made a reading plan with her, and took her to participate in professional family education courses, so that Xiaoting really felt the care of "mother".
Daylily flowers are a metaphor for strong maternal love. In order to implement the arrangements and arrangements of the All-China Women's Federation and the Provincial Women's Federation, and promote the in-depth development of the "caring mother" work, in early March, the Xinjiang County Women's Federation learned about the situation of orphans and de facto unsupported children from the county Civil Affairs Bureau, and learned about the situation of predicament and left-behind children from the county's community service centers. At the end of March, the County Women's Federation recruited "caring mothers" from the society, and guided the executive committee members to take the lead, and set up a "daylily caring mother" team composed of 42 executive committee members of the women's federation to help 42 left-behind children in distress in pairs, creating conditions and providing guarantees for the healthy growth of the children.
The members of the "Daylily Caring Mother" team used their spare time to go into the house to dock, and carefully prepared books, toys, clothes and other gifts full of love according to the actual situation of the children's life and learning, and accompanied the children to tell stories, play games, and talk, and use warm "maternal love" to make the "parent-child relationship" of the first meeting smoothly "break the ice". The timid and cramped faces of the children and the expectant eyes of the children made the "caring mothers" feel distressed and moved, and also strengthened their confidence to continue to run on the road of public welfare.
On the occasion of World Book Day, the Xinjiang County Women's Federation held a parent-child reading activity of "Daylily Caring Mother" in the county library. Accompanied by the "caring mother", the children walked into the county library with curious eyes and visited the parent-child reading area, youth reading room, comprehensive reading room, e-reading experience area and other places. "Caring Mother" took the children's hands, carried out parent-child reading, participated in book rafting activities, and applied for reading cards for the children, hoping to infiltrate the children's hearts with the fragrance of books and let them broaden their horizons in an atmosphere of love.
The "caring mother" also took the children to participate in the "Yue Dye on Paper" traditional culture promotion theme activity, and experienced movable type printing, papermaking, intangible cultural heritage of bronze masks and creative clay production of "dancing shirts and singing fans". Under the guidance of teachers and the help of "caring mothers", the children made exquisite works and experienced the charm of traditional culture.
Truth warms the child's heart, and accompanies the growth of each other. Fan Xinhong, chairman of the Xinjiang County Women's Federation, said that the County Women's Federation will work hard to carry out the care work for left-behind children in distress, continue to expand the team of "Daylily Caring Mother", call the "Daylily Flower Caring Mother" service brand, and take practical actions to be a good guide for children's growth, guardian of children's rights and interests, and dream builder for children's future, so that every "flower" can be born to the sun.
