Chapter 81
Fundraising banquets of course couldn't be held indefinitely, and the money raised had to be spent. So after the New Year holiday, the aid activities of UNICEF were put on the agenda again.
With Henry assisting in handling trivial matters, Audrey Hepburn erupted with energy that surprised many young people, constantly promoting visit activities to Africa, South Asia, Central America, and South America, and participating in person.
This was because the number of projects of the Children's Fund was large enough, so they could be organized into several batches to organize and plan activities, otherwise they would not be able to cope with Ms. Audrey Hepburn, who only needed to participate and write reports afterwards.
Especially since they now went to a country on the African continent, they would be followed by UN peacekeeping forces. This would more or less affect the local situation. Going to other places didn't have this treatment.
How to control this influence became the most troublesome issue for UN members who cared about African affairs.
The number of peacekeeping forces was not infinite, and the UN could not invest a large number of troops to help Africa maintain order. It was even said that it was good for the entire Western world if this dark continent was a bit chaotic.
There was already an Islamic world confronting each other, if the black brothers rose up again, just in time for a pincer attack, Europe would be finished.
But the point was that it could be a bit chaotic, but it couldn't be out of control. If a place was too peaceful, it would need them to be chaotic instead.
So Audrey Hepburn's child care action actually hid the same dirty political intentions behind her back.
UN personnel didn't just once let slip in front of Henry and Ms. Hepburn, but at the moment, everyone was laughing and bluffing.
At night, during the rest time, Henry couldn't help but ask Audrey Hepburn, who was reviewing the first draft of the report. Said: "Boss, is it normal for the UN people to mess around like this?"
"I'm very surprised that you would feel unfair about such things." The time spent together during this period made Audrey Hepburn deeply know that this little assistant was not keen on public welfare activities, and of course, he wouldn't care about some dirty things under the table.
Henry said honestly: "I'm just curious about your thoughts."
"Did you take me as Mother Teresa." Audrey Hepburn smiled meaningfully and said: "I know Mother Teresa, and she is also a good friend I can talk to, but I can't become someone like her.
"You can't ask a woman who has seen Hollywood to be like a saint, who can't tolerate half a grain of dust in her eyes. At least these children in front of me have been helped, right."
Henry asked again: "So as long as the final result is good, even if there are some small flaws in the middle, is it okay?"
Audrey Hepburn said helplessly: "It's impossible to expect everyone participating in public welfare activities to be a saint, and everyone to bring their own dry food and participate without compensation."
"But you didn't get any remuneration from these activities, and sometimes you even pay out of your own pocket to increase aid supplies." Henry said.
"But my travel expenses, food and accommodation, including other participating personnel, are all borne by the Children's Fund. Even you are enjoying the same public-funded travel treatment." Ms. Hepburn said the truth.
Looking at Henry, who was tangled, the lady said again: "Hoping that all the donated funds will be used for children is of course the best result. But you have to have a realization that the meaning of our coming here is not just aid supplies.
"A few days ago, local warlords came to harass here. But after the peacekeeping forces came over, those harassments stopped temporarily. This is what we brought, besides supplies and medical aid, there is also short-term peace.
"Although it sounds a bit discouraging, isn't this short-term peace precious? I know I can't save the whole world, and I also know that those who accompany me probably have other tasks. But at least we saved the children in front of us.
"Even if it is a false hope, some people criticize us for being hypocritical. But perhaps this short-term peace is an opportunity for a child, allowing them to reverse their future life, even if most people return to their original state in the end."
This is the so-called "don't not do good because it is small" when the Zhaolie Emperor of Shu Han entrusted the orphan at Baidicheng.
After understanding, Henry also understood at the same time why he would be willing to follow Ms. Hepburn to carry out these public welfare activities.
This of course wasn't because he was greedy for a sixty-year-old body. Initially, perhaps he was attracted by her star halo, but now he was still willing to be driven by her, just a kind of worship and admiration psychology.
Although he didn't want to become like that at all, it didn't prevent him from admiring that the other party could do such things that he couldn't do.
Ms. Hepburn thought about it and added: "However, saying so, if the donated funds are not used for children at all, it will still be very disappointing.
"Or put forward some kind of request, and only after the other party achieves it can they get help. But that is no longer an act based on good intentions, but a transaction.
"It's just that where that line is drawn, everyone will have their own ideas. For me, even if this money is not used for aid supplies, at least it must be spent for the purpose of saving children."
Simply put, the people who do things are people, not saints who don't need to eat or drink. How to grasp the degree in the middle is a difficult problem without a correct answer.
This is also why superheroes are great, because they are all the "Buddha cutting meat to feed the eagle" bitter forced.
Helping others is a very noble good deed, Henry admits. But he is only willing to help others when he has spare energy; rather than sacrificing himself to illuminate others.
For the cow and horse people who are already familiar with various PUA routines, Henry feels that the ability of Kryptonians in this life is to have the capital to turn around and leave.
As long as you lie flat enough, the wind resistance is low, this is physical common sense! Without so many sufferings, life is happy!
So he only wants to do things that make him happy, rather than bitterly chasing endless desires in the rules set by others.
Because that is no different from a donkey chasing a carrot in front of it. It's just that he is a Kryptonian donkey.
Firmly determined his life principle of living as a salted fish again, Henry started to get busy...
This string of text looks very magical, but it's like a licking dog having two faces in front of his brother and in front of the goddess. Although he says no in his mouth, his body is very honest.
At least Henry feels that he is doing things that make him happy. Helping Ms. Audrey Hepburn makes him happy.
If the lady said to him, let's destroy the earth. Henry would definitely smile too, punch and explode the earth. Who cares if this is the Marvel Universe, if the Celestial Group is hiding in the earth's core to hatch eggs.
If the earth wasn't exploded, the only possibility was that he couldn't do it. After all, until today, Henry still had no evidence to prove that he was really a Kryptonian, let alone comparable to Big Super.
So, I don't know if the Russians dismantled the escape pod that I came to earth in? According to the Russian way of doing things, Henry doubted whether he could find even a screw when he looked back...
