The activity seeks to organise the community, through the help
of CARE Network, aftercare agencies, the Home Team, VWOs and community
partners, employers, religious organisations, schools and grassroots
organisations, to wear the yellow ribbon during the week from
2 – 9 Oct 2004. Wearing the Yellow Ribbon symbolically displays
the community’s support and acceptance towards ex-offenders
and their families. Yellow ribbons will be sold at $1 each and
proceeds will go towards the Yellow Ribbon Fund. Yellow Ribbons
would continue to be worn throughout the year at rehab-related
events.
