This is a project started by Jason Kelly, an author residing in Japan, through his blog. Inspired by a news footage where a victim was requesting socks, he started this and many from around the world has responded. And now, it's our turn to take part!
One simple way to help Japan - SOCKS SOCKS SOCKS! Brand new ones of any sizes, preferably thick socks.
Bring those brand new socks that you want to donate to CLT G.6 on Wednesday, 23rd March 2011. We'll be receiving from 2.00 p.m. onwards.
Why socks?
"Several reasons. Many of the victims ended up barefoot after fleeing in a hurry. In the disaster zone, feet get wet and then extra cold at night, especially in currently freezing weather. People often forget about socks in favor of more obvious items like blankets and jackets. Receiving a new, fresh pair of socks provides a moment of comfort. If those socks arrive with a caring note as well, it’s very heartening for victims. If you’ve ever been stuck in a pair of wet, cold socks or no socks at all, perhaps you remember how soothing it felt to pull on a warm, dry pair. Victims have already requested socks on TV news." -Jason Kelly.
