This project was held one month before Chinese New Year, where many people would perform their spring cleaning and recycling old clothes. We took this opportunity to organize a recycling campaign and distributed the collected garments to the needy, in hopes that, they could have new clothes for the festive too. With the efforts of sharing the news over social media, the power of word of mouth and the willingness to contribute to the society, we successfully collected 3000+ pieces of clothes in just 9 days. The committees even went the extra miles to wash, lter and segregate the clothes before distributing them to the needy to ensure that the clothes are all in good condition. The clothes were distributed to Padmasambhava Children Loving Association, Tiam Yam Toh Teng (Old Folks Home), Pusat Jagaan
Anbe Sivam, Sri Andalas and Refugee Institution, Sentosa.
