Behind the Trevi Fountain: 1.5 million euros a year for the needy

Every Monday morning, images rarely seen by tourists take place at Trevi Fountain, central Rome.

The watercourse is temporarily closed; the officer steps into a centuries-old marble basin, carefully collecting the coins piled under water, before safely forwarding them to the sorting center.

Each year, there are about 1.5 million euros from this fountain.

And all the money didn't go into the city budget, but was given to Caritas Charities.

Coins from around the world - euros, dollars, yen, pounds - were systematically cleared, separated and exchanged.

Before morphing into food, shopping cards in charity supermarkets, shelters and hardship assistance programs.

Legend says

Throw a coin over your left shoulder with your right hand and you'll be back in Rome.

But in fact,

Those little coins may be becoming someone's meal.

Become a new opportunity on the day when life is stumbling.

A fountain that used to feed the city with watercourses.

Today is nurturing "hope."

Next time. If you stand in front of Trevi Fountain,

Think of the destination of the coin in your hand.

Because sometimes... one prayer.

Could really change someone's life. ✨

... Read moreจากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัวที่ได้ไปเยือนน้ำพุเทรวีในเช้าวันจันทร์ ผมได้เห็นภาพเจ้าหน้าที่ลงไปเก็บเหรียญใต้น้ำอย่างระมัดระวัง ซึ่งถือเป็นกิจวัตรที่ซ่อนอยู่เบื้องหลังความงดงามของสถานที่นี้ ความน่าสนใจคือเหรียญเหล่านั้นไม่ได้เป็นเพียงเครื่องรางของความหวังสำหรับนักท่องเที่ยวที่โยนลงไปเพื่อขอพร แต่กลับถูกนำไปช่วยเหลือคนจนและผู้ที่ต้องการความช่วยเหลือผ่านองค์กร Caritas นับเป็นเรื่องที่ทำให้ผมรู้สึกประทับใจว่าความเชื่อและการท่องเที่ยวสามารถสร้างผลกระทบเชิงบวกได้จริง ที่สำคัญเงินกว่า 1.5 ล้านยูโรต่อปีนี้ถูกล้างทำความสะอาด แยกประเภท และแลกเปลี่ยนเป็นสกุลเงินต่าง ๆ ก่อนจะนำไปใช้อย่างโปร่งใสในโครงการสังคม เช่น การจัดหาอาหาร บัตรซื้อของในซูเปอร์มาร์เก็ตที่ร่วมโครงการ และที่พักพิงผู้ยากลำบาก สิ่งที่ผมเห็นคือการวางระบบจัดการที่ดีและมีความรับผิดชอบ สำหรับใครที่เคยสงสัยว่าคำอธิษฐานและการโยนเหรียญที่น้ำพุเทรวีนั้นให้ประโยชน์อะไรบ้าง คำตอบคือช่วยเติมเต็มชีวิตใครบางคนที่กำลังลำบากได้อย่างแท้จริง เหรียญเล็ก ๆ เหล่านั้นกลายเป็นแรงสนับสนุนที่สำคัญมากในชีวิตคนยากไร้ เมื่อครั้งหน้าได้มายืนที่น้ำพุเทรวี ผมอยากให้คุณลองคิดถึงความหมายลึกซึ้งของเหรียญในมือคุณ เพราะนอกจากความเชื่อที่บอกว่าจะได้กลับมาเยือนโรมอีกครั้งแล้ว เหรียญเหล่านี้ยังส่งต่อความหวังและการเปลี่ยนแปลงที่ยิ่งใหญ่ในชีวิตของผู้อื่นอีกด้วย
