Coins 4 Charity, a new fund raising project directly benefiting the Rashid Paediatric Therapy Centre in Dubai, has announced the launch of ‘Dress Differently For a Day’, a charity event being held on April 30th 2009, where schools, organizations  and the community from around the UAE can dress differently to support a worthy cause. Participants can dress up, dress down, come to the office in pyjamas, dress like a movie star, or dress in their favorite color – the more creative, the better!

The Dress Differently for a Day initiative is based on the  concept that special needs children experience the world differently and was created by Coins 4 Charity Founder Lizelle Jansen who launched the charity earlier this year to raise funds and awareness for the school, where her 3 year old son is a student.

The idea for Coins 4 Charity originated from the knowledge that most people have coins lying around, making it easy for us all to make a difference. The goal for the Coins 4 Charity 2009 – 2010 school year is to raise enough coins to support the development and maintenance of the Centre. The charity has already proven to be a success raising 28,500 AED in a mere two weeks during its first coin drive last month.
Today, as planned we had it  in our office too. I knew that most people will wear something different. I was so confused to find something different to wear. Finally I got my costume, which I believe is way too different.

Here is my dress for today. Only thing is,  not so easy to sit somewhere  with this. 

To my suprise, our staffs voted me as the second best!  Very happy.. 

Thank you Flippers.

If I get permission from all other staffs, I will post their costumes too.  Would really like to hear some comments on this.
