BY AMBER

Part One

• What did I learn overall about nonprofit

business

- What surprised me

- What impressed me

- What concerned me

• Public Facilities- The environment-friendly public facilities could ease their

anxiety of Scarcity mentality.- The proper distribution of every public articles to the

homeless people reduce the chance of wasting donations.• Contributions of the non-profit business- Only 1% of non-profit business works in China.- About one third business in America is non-profit business. • The contribution portion of business companies &

communities- To gain the credit for less taxes.- Many buildings are donated by the communities.

What surprised me

• To obey the rules • Respect- kids and homeless people who are in the shelter- Serve and love one another - The privacy of clients (Ronald Mcdonald House)• No financial aid of the government - All private donations- The private checking systems of the organizations

What impressed me

• The insurance of employees

• To retain volunteers

be improved- One thing I learned from the experience
