This year, the center paid more than 270,000 yuan in wages to the disabled, so that they could enrich their daily lives and taste the fruits of their hard work.

In addition to providing employment support, Ningxin Service Center for the Disabled also provides services such as day care, skills training, training, employment guidance, cultural entertainment, psychological counseling and other services for the disabled, so as to create a warm home for the local rural disabled people. Recently, the center has won the honorary titles of "Hunan Province Five-A Centralized Care Institution" and "Changsha Top Ten Caring Collectives for the Disabled".

Create a spiritual harbor for the disabled with heart and affection.

20 years ago, Lin Mingchang unfortunately lost his hands in an accident. After being disabled, he was not depressed, but bravely stood up from adversity, went all the way backwards, bravely pursued his dreams, and broke through wisdom and hard work in the advertising production industry.

As a person with a disability, I can better understand the difficulties of people with disabilities. Lin Mingchang introduced that in 2012, he joined the volunteer team of Liuyang City to help the disabled, opening the road to helping the disabled. In 2016, he established the city's first township service center for the disabled in Dayao Town, Liuyang City, creating a professional, caring and loving service team for the disabled. Since its establishment, the center has provided services for more than 1,000 people with mental, intellectual, severe physical and other disabilities.

Since 2016, the center has organized disabled people to participate in the "National Day for the Disabled" held by the Disabled Persons' Federation at all levels every year and participated in the program. His representative works include the self-written inspirational sitcom "New Era, New Life", the sitcom "Love Makes Us Strong", and the song and dance performance "Flower Bridge and Flowing Water", etc., showing the style of the disabled and spreading positive energy to the society.

Due to the individual needs of the members of the center, this year, Liuyang Ningxin Service Center for the Disabled has added a new martial arts characteristic course. The martial arts group has participated in the 33rd "National Day for the Disabled" art show sponsored by the Municipal Disabled Persons' Federation, the outdoor cultural and sports activities of "Experience Barrier-free and Publicity Barrier-free" in Liuyang City, and the "Changsha Bank Cup" The First Cloud Games for the Disabled in Hunan Province, etc., which have been highly recognized by the society and their families.

The center also offers ideological education courses, knowledge development courses, safety education courses, traditional culture courses, creative production courses, illiteracy courses, manual skills training, etc., so that members can enrich their daily lives while acquiring a skill, and promote their social integration.

In order to help people with disabilities broaden their horizons and enhance their self-confidence in integrating into society. For 11 consecutive years, Lin Mingchang, the person in charge of the center, has planned the "The World is So Big, I Want to Take You to See" travel activity, leading the service recipients to more than 30 places such as Xiamen in Fujian, Mingyue Mountain in Jiangxi, Guilin in Guangxi, and the Three Gorges Dam in Yichang, Hubei, serving a total of 1,879 people with disabilities and more than 2,000 hours of volunteer service.

It is my dream to take my disabled friends to see the scenery in the distance, and it is also one thing that I will always stick to. Lin Mingchang said that many disabled people in rural areas rarely have the opportunity to travel, and taking them out to see not only fully meets the cultural needs of disabled people in rural areas, but also reflects the continuous improvement of cultural service capabilities for disabled people and the more diversified forms of cultural activities.

Although the power of one person is small, I strive to use my strength to help more people in need around me, and drive more people to continue to explore how to create a warmer harbor for people with disabilities. Lin Mingchang said emotionally.

Bravely pursue dreams and create an employment platform for people with disabilities.

Friends with disabilities often say: "Liuyang Ningxin Service Center for the Disabled is not only an exclusive home for the disabled, but also a platform to realize their dreams." ”

In order to help disabled friends find employment and increase income, and realize their labor value and social value, Liuyang Ningxin Disabled Persons Service Center has carried out supported employment projects since its establishment in 2016.

In recent years, Dayao Town, as the main fireworks production area in Liuyang, has created more employment resources for Dayao and added a variety of jobs. Relying on the industrial advantages and good environment of Liuyang Dayao "Fireworks Town", the center mainly produces semi-finished products (drug-free products) such as packaged fireworks toys, and provides an employment platform for disabled people with work needs in five towns and towns in Liuyang South District and Hunan and Jiangxi border areas.

Before, there were only one or two suppliers of handmade products, and now there are 9 new ones, the supply is stable, and the most important thing we can earn is more than 2,000 yuan per month, and now we have helped 365 disabled people to find employment. Lin Mingchang said with a smile.

Brother Jiang and Sister Ying, the objects of care in Chongwen Village, Dayao Town, are husband and wife, they are mentally disabled and intellectually disabled respectively, and the two children in the family have to study, and the elderly parents have to support them. The couple has been unable to find a job due to physical reasons, and the only financial support for the family is a policy subsidy. A few years ago, the couple found out that the center had a platform for the disabled to provide employment, and immediately sought help, and under the careful guidance of the center's assistants, they learned all kinds of handicrafts in the supported employment workshop, and earned 15,902The annual income of 8 yuan relieves the pressure on the family.

It is reported that the center's supported employment program has been continuously expanded and improved, and it was awarded the "Changsha Supported Employment Demonstration Base" in 2019 and the "Hunan Supported (Supportive) Employment Demonstration Base" in 2021. The center is carrying out a comprehensive upgrade of services, so that people with disabilities can achieve employment and life is more colorful.

Don't forget the original intention, and have embarked on a new path of party building to help the disabled.

Lin Mingchang is well aware that the party's leadership is the fundamental guarantee for promoting the sustainable development of the cause of the disabled, and is the greatest political advantage for doing a good job in the work of the disabled. Since its establishment, Liuyang Ningxin has adhered to the leadership of party building to strengthen the foundation, integrated party building work into the work of the disabled, and embarked on a new path of party building to help the disabled, and promoted the high-quality development of the center's work for the disabled.

In 2021, the center was rated as the first batch of party building and disability assistance activity bases in the province. The center conscientiously implements the spirit of the Eighth Congress of the China Disabled Persons' Federation and the Eighth Congress of the Hunan Disabled Persons' Federation, and closely focuses on the goal of "Hunan should become the most disabled-friendly province and Hunan people should become the most friendly group of people for the disabled" put forward by Shen Xiaoming, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee.

In 2023, the center will successively organize members to go to the martyrs' cemetery to carry out the party history learning activity of "following the party with a clear banner and setting an example for self-improvement", lead 102 people to the film and television city to carry out the movie viewing activity with the theme of "pursuing red memory and inheriting red genes", organize 52 people to go to Rucheng County, Chenzhou City to carry out the party history education activity of "Visiting the Red Homeland and Enjoying the Great Rivers and Mountains", and organize 54 people to go to the former residence of Chen Jiageng in Xiamen to carry out the learning activity ......of "Visiting the Former Residence of Jiageng and Promoting the Spirit of Jiageng".

This series of party building and assistance activities for the disabled has achieved good results, the spiritual and cultural life of the disabled has been continuously improved, and the awareness of listening to the party and feeling the party's kindness has become stronger and stronger.

In the face of the work of helping the disabled in the new era, Lin Mingchang said, "It is precisely because of the attention of the party and the first party to the disabled group, the care and care of the disabled persons' federation system and all walks of life, the living conditions of the disabled group have been guaranteed, the quality of life has been continuously improved, and the social security system for the disabled has been continuously improved, and our sense of happiness has become stronger and ......stronger."”
