有爱，无障碍
Most people may associate the word “charity” with wealthy entrepreneurs or pop stars. However， charity does not belong to rich people exclusively. In September， 2008， a post-90s young man who had just tragically lost almost all his family members， took the responsibility and initiated the Beijing Public Welfare Alliance （BPWA） and has carried on for 5 years since then.
As a pure non-government public welfare organization， BPWA has been dedicated to uniting charity organizations， media， schools， companies， institutions， officials， public figures and ordinary citizens， to help the domestic vulnerable groups and also people in need， especially the people who have suffered huge loss from natural calamities， and at the same time， offer help to elders， orphans， and the disabled without compensation.
In the past few years， BPWA has put “the core of practicing charity is to change people’s mind” and “encourage participation and spread happiness” as their development idea， and launched numerous charity projects aiming to promote public welfare culture， build public welfare platforms and propel the development of public welfare in China.
To help the disabled overcome fears and encourage them to go outdoors and fit into the world， in October， 2009， BPWA set up the first-in-China hotline called “Love Means No Obstacles” exclusively aiming to help the disabled. The hotline helps disabled people clear obstacles in many aspects， offering going out assistance， psychotherapies， legal aid， information， etc， which has truly strengthened the bond between the disabled and people without disabilities.
In going out assistance， BPWA has proposed the idea of “obstacle-free home”， promoting an obstacle-free society and providing accessibility maps for the disabled. The Beijing Accessibility Map is due to be completed in late 2013， and it will help the disabled go outdoors and fit into the society. BPWA provides various psychotherapies for the disabled， fostering their self-respect， confidence， independence and self-renewal， relieving their pressures through diversiform activities， and also solving their life problems； at the same time， appealing for public understanding and respect for the disabled. In legal aid， BPWA helps the disabled deal with discrimination， assault when their legal rights get infringed. In order to make information equally， conveniently and smoothly accessible for the disabled， BPWA has provided information delivery and door-to-door training service to clear all the obstacles， enhancing social participation of the disabled. Statistics shows that since the hotline was established， over 2，000 calls have been received and more than 3，000 handicapped people have walked outdoors assisted by BPWA volunteers to visited sites like the Palace Museum and Badaling Great Wall. BPWA also cared about the elders whose children had left home， or the “empty-nesters”. Currently， BPWA dedicates to enhancing the communication between the elders to expand their social network， organizing activities to alleviate and even eliminate their loneliness， anxiety and depression， and most importantly， keeping a positive attitude and lifestyle. In the long term， BPWA hopes to deliver the voice of the elders to the public to appeal for more social attention to their needs， develop a way to consummate empty-nester caring policy and provide new solutions to solve the physical and psychological problems of the empty-nesters.
BPWA has also carried out a project to help deaf children from underprivileged families recover， and furthermore， established a speaking capability recovering program to help deaf adults to have artificial cochlea implanted and be equipped with audiphones. Parties and activities are held regularly to guide them to walk outdoors， enhancing their acoustic perception.
BPWA has now expanded its volunteer team to almost 20，000 people， including college students and even peasant workers who are not in other welfare organizations. With the China government easing the registration policies for non-government organizations’ registration， BPWA will integrate all kinds of superior resources， not only help the vulnerable groups come into the world but also improve their employment rate by training their computer operating and other skills. In addition， a free medical examination project for rural handicapped people which began in 2011 and has already piloted in Shanxi will be launched， and it will be soon introduced to cities like Guangzhou and Tianjin.
提及公益，你或许首先会想到财大气粗的企业老总，星光熠熠的明星。其实，公益并不是他们的专利。2008年9月，一个来自中国山西农村的“90后”青年——郭咏，在相继遭遇了亲人离世之痛后，毅然决然地扛起了公益这面大旗，发起成立了北京公益联盟，至今已有5个年头。
作为纯民间公益组织，北京公益联盟一直致力于联合联盟内外所有可以联合的公益组织、媒体、学校、企业、机构、政府官员、明星、普通市民积极参与到对中国弱势群体和需要帮助之人的救助中来，尤其是对那些因不可抗拒的自然灾害而受伤的人进行救助。同时，还向孤寡老人、孤儿、身心残障等提供无偿服务。
在过去几年的工作中，北京公益联盟以“公益事业的核心在于改变人心”、“人人公益，快乐公益”作为发展理念，形成了传播公益文化、搭建公益平台、推动公益事业发展的宗旨，开展了诸多公益项目。
为了帮助那些残障人士克服身心障碍，走出家门，走向社会，北京公益联盟于2009年10月开通了中国首个残障人士求助热线，即“有爱，无障碍”身心障碍求助热线。这一热线旨在为有身心障碍的人提供出行、心理、法律、信息等方面的帮助，从而真正促进“残健共融”。
其中，在“出行无障碍”方面，北京公益联盟提出了“无障碍进家庭”，倡导“无障碍，进社会”，同时为残疾人建立无障碍地图。预计将于2013年底完成北京市无障碍地图建设，从而让残障人士走出家门，融入社会。在“心理无障碍”方面，北京公益联盟为残疾人开展多种心理疏导，呼吁人们理解、尊重和帮助残疾人，积极开展医疗、文娱、体育等活动，培养残疾人的自尊、自信、自立、自强精神，引导他们在思想上解负、心理上解压、生活上解难，让残疾人从心里“站起来”。在“法律无障碍”方面，北京公益联盟为那些在社会上被歧视、伤害以及合法权益遭到侵犯的残疾人维权。在“信息无障碍”方面，为了满足残疾人在任何情况下都能平等、方便、无障碍地获取想要的信息，北京公益联盟为残疾人提供信息输送和上门培训服务，从而消除信息障碍，促进残疾人平等参与社会生活。据统计，“有爱，无障碍”身心障碍求助热线开办至今，共约接听了2000余个求助电话，组织过3000多位不便出行的残障人士走出家门，浏览故宫、八达岭长城等景点。
在关爱空巢老人方面，北京公益联盟的短期目标是增加与空巢老人之间的互动与交流，拓展老人的社交网络，使他们能主动融入到集体活动之中，缓解甚至根治他们在心理上的空虚、孤独、焦虑、抑郁，从而使其保持积极的生活态度。在长期目标方面，北京公益联盟希望把空巢老人的心声向全社会传达，让更多的人关注空巢老人，让老人的需求正确地得到社会的认知，并通过探索完善关爱老年人的保障机制，为老年人的身心保障问题提供新的思路。
在聋儿康复服务项目方面，北京公益联盟对贫困家庭聋儿给予康复救助，开展成人听力计语言康复工作，帮助他们实施人工耳蜗手术，配戴助听器，定期举办联欢会，带领他们走进户外，培养其对声音的感知。
发展至今，北京公益联盟已经有近2万人志愿者队伍。这其中，不仅有大学生，更有其他公益组织没有的农民工队伍。随着中国政府对民间组织注册政策的放宽，北京公益联盟将能更好的整合各类优势资源，不仅仅要帮助更多的弱势群体走出去，更要通过电脑等技艺培训促进他们就业。此外，还将开展农村残疾人免费体检项目。这个从2011年就开始酝酿的项目目前已经在山西试点。今后，包括这个项目在内的其他项目还将继续向广州、天津等城市进一步推广。
