Patrick M Dacre 'Philanthropreneur' hasn't added a story.
We are pleased to announce the extension of our FreEbooks4Good Socially Responsible online library (http://bit.ly/FreEbooks4Good2016) with the addition of the first in the Ribbon Awareness collection. On or about 2 April 2016, we will feature Five organizations who are working to support Autism communities with a chapter dedicated to those efforts.
We have identified two candidate projects and are open to nominations for the remaining three chapters. Simply send Your recommendation with a link to their site, and we will review that group as a viable candidate.
This effort is dedicated to my nephew, JR, who has enriched many lives with his unique gifts.
Awareness ribbons are symbols meant to show support or raise consciousness for a cause. Different colours and patterns are associated with different issues.
Yellow ribbons, in the United States, are used to show that a close family member is abroad in military service. In Russia, Belarus and other countries of the former Soviet Union, gold and black striped ribbons are used to celebrate the Allies' victory in World War II (9 May), or in modern times, to signal loyalty to Putin and the Kremlin.
Of the uses of ribbons to draw awareness to health issues, perhaps the best-known is the pink ribbon for support of those with breast cancer. Other health and social concerns which have adopted coloured ribbons include Alzheimer's disease (purple), HIV/AIDS (red), bipolar disorder (green), and brain disorder or disability (silver).
Political use of ribbons include red ribbons worn to commemorate the October Revolution (7 November) in the former Soviet Union, and orange ribbons in the Orange Revolution in Ukraine.
Other ornaments, including flowers (of specific kinds), bracelets and badges may serve essentially the same purpose of drawing attention to a cause. These include poppies, rosettes and wristbands.
