I didn't until this Merdeka Day (Malaysia Independence Day) when I joined a 'Raise The Flag' giveaway organised by Cebion Malaysia and was blessed with cool t-shirts for me and four of my friends. I was ecstatic.

| Projek57 - A Movement Of Hope |
A little curiosity and googling told me these weren't just any t-shirts. It was part of an initiative aimed at reminding Malaysians about the principles of 1957, the year Malaya achieved independence - Progressiveness, Unity, Tolerance, Diversity. A Movement of Hope founded by two guys who wanted to remind Malaysians how amazing our country was and can be if we worked together.
They are reaching out to people through community projects and the sale of t-shirts plus other merchandises that carry messages of patriotism.

Then there is the charity part. 40% of profits gained from the sale of these items are used for empowering single mothers and underprivileged children. Neat, right?

Just spreading the word on a good cause.
Didn't know of such project. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Rose. I hadn't heard of it either, at least not until this.
DeleteI guess I am out of date! Never heard of project 57. It is good to know that they are helping out the under privileged children and empowering single mothers.
ReplyDeleteIt seems to be pretty low key.
DeleteWhen a person buy, can wear the t-shirt and at the same time, do charity, that's good...
ReplyDeleteYes! ^.^
DeleteSounds like an interesting project...and a good charity, too.
ReplyDeleteI hope they succeed in bringing Malaysians together, Linda. :)
DeleteOne great project. Nice shirt.
ReplyDeleteAgree with you, Lei. I think it's nice too.
DeleteWhat a cool event & the tee looks cool, dear! xoxo

DeleteI used to look forward to merdeka day so much, fireworks in KLCC was amazing. But now, no such mood, old d maybe.
