Wear and Share - Clothes Collection Drive 11.0

The Clothes Segregation Drive was an essential follow-up initiative to a donation campaign, aimed at organizing collected clothes in a systematic and efficient way before distribution. It focused on teaching students the importance of responsibility, teamwork, and mindful giving while ensuring that the donated items reached the right hands in the best condition. The drive began with a short briefing session where volunteers were guided on how to sort the donated clothes properly. Instructions were given on categorizing the items based on size, type (e.g., children’s wear, men’s and women’s clothing), and condition (wearable or non-wearable). Students were also taught how to neatly fold and pack the clothes for easy transport and distribution. Working in small, organized groups, the students carefully examined each item, checking for cleanliness and usability. Unusable or damaged clothes were separated for recycling or craft-based reuse, while clean, wearable items were packed into labelled boxes or bags. The drive promoted values of sustainability, respect, and thoughtful giving. It helped students understand that donation is not just about giving things away, but about doing it with care and dignity for the receiver. The activity also served as a great opportunity to build leadership, collaboration, and attention to detail. By the end of the session, dozens of sorted and labelled packages were ready to be handed over to NGOs or community centres for distribution. Overall, the Clothes Segregation Drive was an organized, purposeful, and meaningful activity that combined practical work with strong social values.
