The Yellow Ribbon
It's great, weforgive.org has finally created the forums. It's a huge success (I mean now, it's a gradual achievement anyway). Well, iwas hoping to get into the force behind this organisation but I doubt YK would help me get in.. it's been a good few weeks since I asked him.
Anyway I found out another community project in Singapore; the Yellow Ribbon Project. From the old song 'Tie a Yellow Ribbon Around the Old Oak Tree':
"I'm really still in prison and my love, she holds the key, a simple yellow ribbon's what I need to set me free..."
It has dictacted the many ex-convicts that want to reach out and wish the society forgive their mistakes and wrong-doings in the past. Surely, it doesn't mean once you've been in jail you're a bad guy. How many men and women had understood the meaning of life and seek for a second chance.
Are you willing to?
For many of us it's just a neutral thing, we don't know to help or not. But by doing so - every single bit - we let these people in Singapore know that we hold nothing against them. Who knows, companies might begin to support this campaign and being 'once in jail' becomes nothing on job application forms.
Help these people, buy a yellow ribbon, help unlock their second prison.
