(Baonghean.vn) - “Second Life Toys” is an organization in Japan that was founded with the hope of raising awareness about organ donation. And this is how their clever campaign caught people's attention.
The organization replaces old, broken parts of stuffed animals with new ones, making the toys as good as new. And the best part is that everyone is encouraged to get involved by donating their unwanted toys.
The “donor” even receives a letter from the “recipient”, appreciating how much their donation has helped change the lives of others.
The recipient (a broken giraffe stuffed animal) with a “donated” leg, was given a “rebirth of life”.
The squirrel's tail helped the lovely elephant have a healthy trunk.
The fins are made from dragon wings.
The blue whale was able to swim after receiving help from a deer's ear.
Behind this fun and cute idea is a very meaningful message. Organ donation is an issue that has not really received much attention in Japan. The waiting list for organ donation is up to 14,000 people, but only about 300 people each year are able to donate the organs they need.
The goat was able to stand firmly on the bear's legs.
The toy donor will receive a thank you letter from the “recipient”.
This campaign hopes to change that by raising people's awareness of the rebirth value of organ donation.
Meaningful achievements of Second Life Toys organization in recent times.
