Every New Year brings in new opportunities for
people, avenues to go by their resolutions and ways to achieve their dream.
But, unfortunately some people get lost while looking around for such
opportunities or probing for avenues and paths. Here, in Colorss we sincerely
make an attempt to intertwine the right people with the right opportunity and
further go on to create hope and strength in the people who will then pave way
for a healthy society. Synonymous to this, starting this January, Colorss is coming
up with a project – ‘See Green’ which is determined to be a fine integration of
proposed solutions for some of the critical issues in the society. To give it a
personal touch, we are creating an opportunity for each one of ‘you’ reading
this to contribute in whatsoever manner possible to light hope and give
strength to empower someone out there to stand up and live their life
themselves. Read on to understand more about See Green.
The Objectives of the Project:
1.
Reduce,
Reuse, Recycle: We are appealing to
educational institutions, organizations and individuals to donate old clothes.
Thus bringing in, the ideas of 3R’s – Reduce, Reuse & Recycle.
2.
Production
of Hand Stitched Bags: The collected old
clothes will be distributed among women in rural and underprivileged households
of Vadodara, who will then produce hand stitched bags made of these old
clothes.
3.
Empowering
Women: These bags would later
be sold for a nominal price to interested vendors in and around Vadodara. The
income earned would be given to the women, thus empowering them and improving
their financial stability.
4.
Plastic
Free: By encouraging people
to use cloth bags, we will be contributing our share to building an
eco-friendly environment, free of plastic.
What can you do?
1.
If you are in Vadodara,
then do take a casual drive to drop by your old clothes.
2.
For schools, we have a
collection drive that has been planned and the respective schools are expected
to intimate the same to the students.
3.
If you are not around
but still would like to contribute, then do spread the word about this project
on twitter @colorss or alternately on G+.
4.
You can go a step
ahead to encourage volunteers and like-minded people in your neighborhood to
come up with an initiative as this one.
5.
Choose to fund for
this project by being a sponsor.
A
little action can make wonders. It will lead to mutual satisfaction and
happiness and will give a new social meaning to your life. As Stephen Covey
rightly said, ‘Life is just not about accumulation, it is also about contribution’.
Act now.
