Distribution of sparingly used clothes at Ottankaduvetti village, Villupuram District

Distributing sparingly used clothes often referred to as clothing donations holds several important benefits for individuals, communities, and the environment. Donating gently used clothing helps meet the basic needs of individuals and families who may not have the means to purchase new clothes. Distributing sparingly used clothes can strengthen communities by fostering a sense of support and solidarity. Thrift shopping and clothing donations align with the principles of sustainability and responsible consumption. Reusing clothing reduces the need for new materials and energy-intensive production processes, contributing to a more sustainable future. Donating clothing can empower individuals to declutter their own wardrobes and make a positive impact by sharing their possessions with others. It's a tangible way for people to contribute to the well-being of their community. In summary, distributing sparingly used clothes is important because it addresses various social, environmental, and economic challenges. It helps meet the needs of individuals, reduces waste, promotes affordability, and supports the principles of sustainability and community engagement.

Let’s make draw string bags!! (Prime Trust works with the Kuravar community at Karikalampakkam to enhance their children’s education) – 26.08.2023

The Kuravar community is a traditionally nomadic tribe in India, known for their unique culture and crafts. One of the traditional crafts they practice is creating handmade drawstring bags. The fabric is cut and the pieces are sewed together to form the body of the bag. This might involve stitching along the sides and bottom. To create the drawstring closure, they would leave an opening at the top of the bag and a separate cord is used. This drawstring could be pulled to secure the bag's contents. The bags might be adorned with beads, shells, or embroidery to add a decorative touch. The bags would be inspected for quality, and any loose threads or imperfections would be addressed. The drawstrings would be secured properly, ensuring the bag is functional. Cultural Significance: The drawstring bags made by the Kuravar community women are not just functional items but also hold cultural and social significance. They might be used for carrying daily essentials, storing personal items, or even as gifts for special occasions. The intricate patterns and designs on the bags could convey stories, traditions, and symbols unique to the Kuravar community. Overall, the process of making drawstring bags by the Kuravar community women involves a blend of traditional crafting techniques, natural materials, and cultural expressions that have been passed down through generations. #Primetrust,#Indiavolunteercare,#indiavolunteercaretoursandtravels, #Akshayaselfhelpgroupsconfederation,#Aadharaprojectforhomeless, #Akshayatailoringcentre,#Sishubhavanplayschool,#Primetrustremedialschools, #Jananihomeforgirls,#Primetrustruralhealthmission,#Primetrustchildsponsorshipprogram, #Primetrustruralwaterandsanitationproject, #Primetrustchildrensparliament, #Puducherry,#Volunteers, #VolunteeringinPuducherry, #CovidPandemic,#Awarenessgeneration
