SINGAPORE : Some women in Singapore gave up their
bras on Saturday, all in the name of charity.
Organised by lifestyle website CozyCot, the event
encourages women to donate bras to their less fortunate sisters in
Southeast Asia.
Nicole Yee, Founder of CozyCot said: "There are many
disadvantaged teens from countries like Bali and Cambodia, they
live in very poor conditions and are badly in need of basic
necessities which we, in Singapore, often take for granted. Giving
a bra costs us nothing, but means a world of difference to another
woman."
Some 200 bras were collected on Saturday. Donors have till the end
of the month to donate at CozyCot at Orchard Central.
The company is hoping to collect at least 1,000 bras.
One donor said: "I actually dump all of it away. I just put them in
the trash but with this (campaign), at least I can help to donate
more bras in the future and recycle them."
Another donor said: "I think it's great because donating to other
girls in other countries is a good cause."
