Frenchman Sebastien Bourgeois (L), founder of the nonprofit IRNGO (International Recycling NGO), and Susan Tian (R), a volunteer with A Heart For China, play with Legos with a child at Shenzhen Min’ai Disabled Children’s Welfare Center on Thursday. Bourgeois and Ronny Verdoodt, founder of A Heart For China, joined French retailer Carrefour on Thursday to give the welfare center food like rice and cooking oil that the retailers collected from donors at its outlets. Bourgeois’ IRNGO collects excess products, such as toys and educational materials, from manufacturing enterprises and trading companies, and distributes the products to places like orphanages and special education schools in China. The welfare center, a private one which has been running for 11 years, faces a shortage of teachers, according to Yang Jing, a director of the center. Liu Minxia
