I am not against these kinds of events. It helps in raising awareness which is great. An idea that influences others will go a long way. All kinds of group do this. Sometimes though it makes me think that instead of spending our money in the t shirts and other accessories, why not collect that and send it to the whoever needs charity or help? We spent money in these events no doubt. I am one of those who do the books in our church and seeing the expenses incurred during these events make me think of this. How is this fighting poverty when many cannot even afford the t shirt? They have to loan money just to buy that which is counterproductive. There are those who are willing to pay for it. These maybe given freely but nothing is free.
