The sarong is one of the most versatile garments ever made and can be used for a myriad of different things, including cradling babies, a covering sheet for children, a wraparound for women, a makeshift shelter from the sun, a towel… the list goes on. The sarong is not just for men, it can help ease the lives of those who have little or nothing.
Our fellow countrymen, women and children in the North-East are enduring extreme hardship. The images we see, despite censorship, are clear. They need immediate relief. Food and water supplies have started to trickle in and the reality is that people have nothing but the clothes on their backs and babes in their arms.
We can help. We can do more than click our tongues and shake our heads with sadness. We can send in the Versatile Sarong.
Ruby Studio is organizing a Sarong Drive to help cloth and support internally displaced people in the North-East. Donate this most basic of garments and be assured that it will be put to good use by people who need them the most. The first batch of sarongs leave this weekend, and we hope to hit a target of 10,000 sarongs by Friday the 1st of May 2009.
Whatever our politics, whatever our views on the war, the comfort and utility of a sarong cannot be debated.
Drop Point:
Ruby Studio, 125 Fife Road, First Floor (Above Mythi Caterers) from 8am to 8pm.
