Fortunately, there are still some teams with sufficient financial backing that perform exceptionally well. They are able to take into account the specific circumstances of their members and establish reasonable subsidy policies or even offer full discounts to encourage and select team members for professional training. Unfortunately, such teams are ultimately in the minority, as the vast majority still have to rely on their own pockets to cover the considerable training costs.
Next, let me explain in detail where our team's funding comes from. First and foremost, we must mention our incredibly resourceful captain! Despite his usually quiet demeanor, when it comes to engaging with the outside world, seeking sponsorships, or negotiating partnerships, he is truly a powerhouse! It is thanks to his tireless efforts and relentless networking that our team has successfully secured substantial financial support; one could say that more than half of our funding is attributed to his fundraising skills.
In addition to the captain's hard work, part of our funding also comes from government public welfare bidding projects and collaborations with various competitions. It is worth noting that some organizations have consistently maintained good communication with us, making this source of funding relatively stable and reliable.
Looking back to the early days, we did not charge any fees for either public welfare or commercial activities. Over time, however, everyone gradually realized that this approach might not be entirely appropriate. After all, even if we invited doctors and nurses from hospitals to help us, they needed to be compensated for their work. If we participated in commercial competitions completely free of charge, it would essentially mean treating everyone as free labor.
After thorough discussions, we eventually reached a consensus: for purely charitable activities, we would continue not to charge any fees; however, for commercial activities, we would charge appropriate fees based on specific circumstances. As for how much to charge, that would be left to the discretion of the responsible parties. If the other party was willing to donate supplies or equipment instead of paying cash, that would also be perfectly acceptable! After all, all fees or equipment would be retained for the team.
Thus, day after day, we persisted in this manner, allowing the entire team to become self-sufficient. As time passed, everyone discovered how addictive rescue work could be! Consequently, more and more team members began learning various professional skills; some even developed these skills into their own careers.
As they continuously improved in their areas of expertise and reached a certain level of proficiency, they naturally entered a specialized circle within the rescue profession. Particularly those who excelled and gained fame were likely to have their names remembered by certain well-known training associations or authoritative organizations. Whenever these organizations needed to conduct relevant training activities, they would think of inviting them first; sometimes they would even post recruitment information specifically within this circle.
For those experienced and capable team members, receiving such invitations was a natural outcome. As long as they demonstrated exceptional performance and strong capabilities during missions or training sessions, gradually both insiders and outsiders would prioritize collaborating with them whenever similar needs arose. Over time, various business opportunities flooded in, leading their careers to flourish. However, one cannot ignore the issue that if these team members become overwhelmed with too many tasks and responsibilities, it becomes challenging for them to dedicate sufficient time and energy to the missions assigned to the team. In the long run, this could lead to a gradual departure of specialized talent from the team. Nevertheless, I maintain a relatively open attitude towards this phenomenon. After all, people have vastly different thoughts and preferences. Moreover, from a certain perspective, being able to engage freely in what one truly loves is indeed a wonderful thing! If one shifts their mindset and imparts what they have learned through training to others—enabling them to apply these skills in actual rescue operations—then even if they are not directly involved themselves, they are still indirectly contributing to charitable causes!
When some team members conduct training activities, they not only impart professional knowledge and skills but can also conveniently sell related equipment! It is important to note that various types of rescue techniques are not simple; they are often quite complex and require an extensive array of equipment! Sometimes just one rescue technique can yield different results depending on which equipment is used! Additionally, individuals in this field are usually experienced and skilled; they possess an intimate understanding of these techniques and equipment. Thus, combining training with equipment sales alongside live demonstrations for promotion and marketing can undoubtedly be considered an outstanding and unique approach!
Ultimately, whether for teams or individuals alike, achieving a self-sufficient model can take many forms. However, finding a truly suitable path that aligns with one's actual situation is not an easy task; one must avoid acting rashly. After all, public welfare work is a long-term endeavor; if one has not thought it through carefully yet wishes to start somewhere more conventional—such as organizing river clean-up efforts or actively participating in tree planting activities—or visiting nursing homes to spend time with lonely elderly individuals—these can all be considered acts of charity regardless of their scale or form. However, if one has made up their mind to pursue this as a long-term commitment wholeheartedly, then it is essential to carefully study how to ensure stable long-term operations while considering how the entire team can sustain its development. Currently, grassroots organizations like Public Welfare Rescue are increasing daily; however, at the same time there are frequent occurrences of mid-course withdrawals and personnel turnover. This often stems from initial enthusiasm leading individuals into action without adequate preparation; only when faced with challenges do they realize the mounting pressures and difficulties ahead—ultimately leading them to abandon their efforts midway through.
