做慈善不分國籍重慶國際婦女社第八屆慈善晚會舉行

□ 文/本刊記者 李靜

晚禮服、黑領結、小金人……2012年12月8日晚，一場聚集了來自駐渝各國領事館、中外企業300多名嘉賓的重慶國際婦女社第八屆慈善晚會在南濱路麗笙世嘉酒店舉行。

一群在重慶的外籍人士用自己的力量，拉開了慈善的快樂與美的大幕，讓當場的慈善晚會如“奧斯卡”頒獎典禮一般閃亮。與往年不同，本屆的主題為“向奧斯卡致敬”，現場從布置到整體流程都加入了“奧斯卡”的元素，旨在讓晚會氣氛更加熱烈，從而能夠為重慶山區的兒童捐助更多的善款。

該慈善晚會不僅是籌集善款的慈善活動，同時也成為了外國友人在渝盛大的交流晚宴。重慶市政府外事僑務辦公室副主任陳高山應邀出席并致辭，他肯定了重慶國際婦女社自2005年成立以來致力于募集善款扶貧助困、促進我市市民和國際友人的相互了解和交流，為在渝中外精英交流搭建平臺發揮了良好的作用。

晚會現場，入場即為長長的紅毯，身著正裝的男士與穿著各色晚禮服的女士如明星一般，在紅毯上留下自己“閃亮”的影像。頒獎中的迷你版“小金人”獎杯以及現場布置中時時出現的小金人元素，讓晚會的氣氛猶如奧斯卡頒獎禮一般熱烈。

國際婦女社主席周燕琳女士認為：很多明星都有自己的慈善基金和慈善會等。他們是用心在做慈善，我們也是用心在做慈善，所以我們借用了好萊塢這個想法，希望慈善也能變得很有趣，不只能幫助到其他人，而且也能給大家帶來更多的快樂。

晚會除了紅毯走秀、雞尾酒會、慈善拍賣、幸運抽獎和狂歡舞會等常規環節外，最有新意的當屬美女舞蹈拍賣、型男大廚拍賣等環節。最終，熱辣的美女肚皮舞、加拿大駐重慶總領事館總領事歐陽飛親自下廚做晚餐等真人時間拍賣都被來賓成功拍走。而這次拍賣也采用了與以往拍賣不同的“默拍”，沒有拍賣師組織，而是來賓將高于底價的心儀價格寫在紙上，價高者拍得拍品。

重慶市慈善總會秘書長李新慧表示，這幾年，國際婦女社通過各種形式的慈善活動籌集了200多萬元的善款，都是放在慈善總會的賬戶里，用于牛奶項目和助學金項目。自2006年1月起，每學期開學她們都會到綦江給貧困家庭的孩子發放午餐補貼。從2007年起，她們開始了送牛奶工程，為綦江14個學校超過2000名孩子每周提供兩次、每次250ml的牛奶。

重慶國際婦女社公共關系委員羅寧也激動地告訴記者，我們一共去過綦江10多次，除了午餐補助和牛奶之外，為了孩子們能在學校洗熱水澡，我們買了熱水器、幫助學校建了公共浴室，還發放過體育用品、捐過電腦……作為國際婦女社資歷最老的成員，羅寧參與了每一屆慈善晚會的組織工作。每一次和朋友見面，她都會介紹這個組織和她們辦的慈善晚會。
