Store coffee for strangers to drink
A cup of 9.9 yuan coffee helps 5 disabled people
Ouyang Manniang is a public welfare activist from Mianyang, Sichuan. She has initiated public welfare projects such as the "300 Disabled Assistance Plan for Turning Old Clothes into Treasures". The disability assistance project initiated this time comes from a sentence she heard.
I met a mother whose child suffers from mental illness and cannot do without the care of others. At that time, this mother said, 'What should we do if our parents pass away?' This sentence touched me. "Ouyang Manniang said that after thinking about it, she came up with a public welfare project called" Storing Coffee for Strangers to Drink "and named it" Man Slow Drinking ".
Ouyang Manniang introduced that a cup of coffee costs 9.9 yuan, and kind-hearted people can save at least one cup of coffee and up to ten cups of coffee. They made small flowers with the name of a kind-hearted person written in the middle. When a stranger comes to drink coffee, they can freely choose a flower, which also represents that the coffee stored by the kind-hearted person has already been consumed by a stranger.
The kind-hearted person saved coffee, and a stranger came to drink it. The two of them completed this cup of public welfare coffee together. People who love to drink coffee are not taking advantage, but relay love, "said Ouyang Manniang.
Ouyang Manniang introduced that coffee is made by people with disabilities. For every cup of coffee made, they can earn 2 yuan out of 9.9 yuan. In addition, there is 4 yuan, which will be given to 4 severely mentally disabled people who have lost their ability to work. Each of them can earn 1 yuan from each cup of coffee, and the remaining 3.9 yuan is for operating costs.
That is to say, a cup of coffee can help 5 disabled people, "Ouyang Manniang said. Currently, 4 severely mentally disabled people are fixed, and the personnel who make coffee are not fixed. If two or three people come to make coffee a day, they will take turns making one cup per person.
Save more and drink less
Being able to help others makes the child feel very happy
On the morning of the 14th, a reporter from Red Star News came to the Li Du Temple in Mianyang. The location closer to the inside is the Manniang Disabled Assistance Service Center. In the courtyard, someone is teaching how to make tie dye, and there are also many handmade works made by disabled people inside the house. On a large display board at the entrance, there are densely packed "small flowers" with a name on each flower, representing a cup of coffee.

Fang Shu lost her right eye and came to make coffee the next day. She is very careful every time she makes it, and politely hands it over to the guests. On that day, due to the participation of college students in social practice activities, Fang Shu was a bit busy and made a total of 47 cups of coffee.
Xiao Xiao is a 17-year-old girl diagnosed with a third level intellectual disability. She is currently in her first year of high school and is also one of the production staff. However, due to her studies, she only came over on weekends. Mr. Xiao, the father of the child, told Red Star News reporters that every time they accompany the child, they can clearly feel some changes in the child after a few times. For example, now she takes the initiative to sweep the floor and wakes up earlier. "More importantly, when she knows that making coffee can not only earn money, but also help others, the child feels very happy
Ouyang Manniang has a training record sheet. Red Star News reporters saw that some people made up to 161 cups, while others made several cups. Ouyang Manniang introduced that when the project was launched in mid June, in just one and a half days, the kind-hearted people had saved a total of 1145 cups. Therefore, she paused the coffee storage and prepared to start the second round when she had finished drinking. It has been exactly a month now, and I have consumed a total of 419 cups of coffee.
Save more and drink less, this love requires two people to work together. If only one person saves and no one drinks, then this money can only lie in the account, "Ouyang Manniang said. She hopes more people can participate, not only to save coffee, but also to come and drink coffee.
