Sometimes doing something for yourself---even shopping-can give others a lift.That’ s the case at charity(慈善) shops and non profit stores such as Ten Thousand Villages which helps provide skilled workmen with money in developing countries.
Their handicrafts ( 工艺品) are sold throughout North America in 180 stores ,95 of them operated by Ten Thousand Villages.
“People come into the store because we have a lot of interesting things but then they’re drawn to us by the mission(慈善的举动),” says organization spokeswoman Juanita Fox.
“It just feels good to be making a difference when you’ re buying something.“
In the Alexandria ,Virginia,shop ,generous display windows draw you in.They’re filled with practical,attractive home furnishings in blue and white,all international in mood.
Once inside though ,it’ s clear that this isn’t just another import store.On the wall behind the cash register is the following note :
“Ten Thousand Villages provides necessary,fair income to Third World people by marketing their handicrafts and telling their stories in North America.Your buying Makes a Difference.”
The store was opened in 1994 as part of a network of shops across the USA run by the Mennonite church,which is based in Akron,Pennsylvania.
Currently,60,000 skilled workmen from 32 countries provide goods to the stores,with all proceeds (收入,收益) reinvested in the organization.
Management of the Alexandria shop is overseen by an all volunteer board of directors.More than 40 additional volunteers help doing everything from working the register to unpacking stock.
Maria Yannopoulos got involved after visiting a store and getting to know another volunteer.“Since we’re a nonprofit,we’re really looking for value because the more we sell,the more jobs we can create.Giving someone a job rather than charity helps in so many ways.”

经过多次修改,翻译如下：
有时候为自己做一些事情----甚至是去购物---都可以为其他人提供一种帮助.一些慈善商店和非营利商场如“万邨”,正是一个为众多发展中国家的劳务人员提供收入来源的典型例子.
这些慈善组织所生产的工艺品会出口到北美180个商店,其中的95个是由“万邨”经营的.
“人们之所以到这些商店去购物是因为我们这里拥有许多有趣的东西,但来到之后,他们会被我们背后的慈善行为所感染.”万邨集团发言人朱安丽达•霍克思说道.
“能拥有与别人不一样的购物体验真的不错.”
在弗吉尼亚州的亚历山大市的万邨商店里,种类繁多的橱窗十分诱人.它们在蓝白二色的背景下陈列出既具实用意义又引人注目的家居用品,全部都颇具异国色调.
只要一进入这种商店,你就会很清晰地感觉到：这并不仅仅是一家进口商店.因为在收银机后面的墙上贴有以下的一张告示：
“万邨通过销售第三国家民间人士的手工艺品来为其提供必需的、合理的收入,而且我们会在北美地区讲述他们的故事.你所花费的每一分钱将起到重要作用.”
该商店于1994年作为全美零售商店网点的一部分由门诺派教会所开设,门诺派教会的总部会于宾夕法尼亚州的亚克朗市.
现在,来自32个国家的6万名劳务工人为万邨商店供货,而所有的收益将重新投放到组织进行再投资.
亚历山大市万邨商店的运营会将受到所有志愿者董事会的监督.超过40名的附设志愿者将全方位地提供从收银到打包货物的劳务帮助.
玛丽亚•颜诺普勒斯参观过这家商店并且结识到另一名志愿者之后才决定加入这一行列的.他说道：“正是因为我们是一个非营利组织,我们更要懂得怎样真真正正地发掘利润,因为如果我们卖出越多的商品,我们就会有越多的职位提供给别人.比起施予,提供某人一份工作能给予的帮助会更大.”
