In 2019, in order to raise training funds for the development of the archery team, our school applied to the Dream + Project from the Da Jia Charity Foundation. After a series of reviews and competition with other applicants, we finally received a two-year funding subsidy from the Da Jia Charity Foundation, which allowed us to hire professional coaches to teach archery skills. Finally, after long-term and stable practice, our archery team’s performance improved significantly. We not only won the championship in the county competition, but also entered the top 100 in the national competition.
In today's society, public welfare and charity activities play an indispensable role. As a group that has been promoting good deeds for a long time, "Da Jia Charity Foundation" demonstrates the power of mutual support between individuals and society. We chose to study the Da Jia Charity Foundation for the following main reasons: to gain a deeper understanding of its influence, to explore the value of merit culture, and to encourage more people to participate in public welfare activities.
1. Explore the influence of the Da Jia Charity Foundation on society
The Da Jia Charity Foundation has long been committed to charitable activities such as helping the poor and the weak, providing educational funding, and medical assistance. These actions not only help those in need, but also create an atmosphere of mutual assistance and care in society. Through research, we hope to understand how the charity operates, how its resources are allocated, and the changes its charitable activities bring to the recipients and the society as a whole. We also hope to analyze how everyone’s merits will affect the values of the general public and whether it can encourage more people to participate in charity.
2. Explore the value and significance of merit culture
The culture of merit and virtue has a long history. Whether in religious beliefs or general social values, doing good and accumulating virtue are highly respected concepts. However, in modern society, with materialism and individualism on the rise, are people still willing to contribute to others? The Da Jia Charity Foundation practices this traditional virtue through practical actions and spreads good deeds in a modern way. Through research, we hope to explore the significance of merit culture in contemporary times and how it influences people's moral choices and behavioral patterns.
3. Promote more people to participate in public welfare activities
Many people may be interested in charity activities, but have not taken action due to lack of information or motivation. By studying the operation model and successful cases of the Da Jia Charity Foundation, we hope to find ways to attract more people to participate and think about how to make public welfare activities more popular and everyday. We hope that through this research, we can convey to the general public that “doing good is not just the responsibility of a few people, but something that everyone can participate in”, thereby inspiring more people to participate in public welfare activities and expand positive influence.
