Charity Bazaar on 99 Charity Day
On 99 Charity Day, Taiyuan Jie, the famous pedestrian shopping street in Shenyang saw a colorful 300-metre lined up by charity bazaar booths. In the booths are staff and volunteers of various local NGOs, charity organizations, and grassroot initiatives. Curious passers-by get stopped to read the standing posters, attracted by the cute handicrafts or to talk to the volunteers. Raising awareness on charity causes is the major purpose to throw such event in the city center.
