Socks 4 Syria

 

Hi, my name is Safiya Alvi. I am here to present an idea I had to help the people of Syria. I found out that there are thousands of Syrian refugees to only have one way to get around, by foot. And as you can imagine, there feet will end up in bad shape. I know that with the right amount of time and help, we can make life easier for these refugees. In the U.S the demand for socks in the homeless population is much greater than any other article of clothing. Because of this demand, last year Hanes donated 200,000 socks to homeless shelters. If we could bring attention to this using social media, we could have sock drives for clean and unworn socks. When the families buy them, they can have the choice of personalizing a couple socks. If they don't want to, our team can get together to decorate the socks using fabric markers and other designers. Once those are ready, we can arrange overseas transport ot give our sock to those who need it. 

Would you like to be on my team?

 

Sincerely,

  Safiya Alvi
