Same Dress
Most people didn't know who Sheena Matheiken was. Her passion is in getting children in the slums into the school in India. To help raise awareness and money for the Akansha Foundation, she pledged to wear the same dress every day for a full year.

Through the clever use of accessories and folding, she prepared a different look each day. The creative combinations and blog posts soon thrust her into the public eye and raised a media storm. The one outfit that she wore each day was none other than the little black dress. In fact, she originally called her project Little Black Dress for 365 Days, according to the Uniform Project.com. However, it soon became known as the Uniform Project when she exceeded her goal of $100,000 and then opened it up to other women who wanted to join her. Joining is simple. All you have to do is pledge to wear one little black dress for 365 days and donate the savings to underprivileged1) children in the slums.

绝大多数人以前都不知道希娜·马思肯这个人。她致力于让印度贫民窟里的孩子们进学堂。为了帮助“阿坎莎基金会”提高知名度并募集资金,她承诺在一整年内每天都穿同一条裙子。
起初,这一计划并没有获得多少关注。不过,每一天,希娜·马思肯都把自己穿同一条裙子的装扮拍下来。通过巧妙地使用配饰和折叠方法,她每天都把自己打扮得不一样。这些创意的组合和博客帖子很快就把她推进公众的视野,还掀起了一场媒体风暴。她每天所穿的那件衣服无非就是一条小黑裙。按照“同服项目”网站的说法,其实她最初就管这个计划叫“小黑裙的365天”。然而当她募集到的资金超过了目标十万美元并把这个计划向其他想要加入的女性开放时,这一计划很快就以“同服项目”一名而变得为大家熟知。参与计划很简单,你所需要做的就是承诺在365天里穿同一件小黑裙,并把省下的钱捐献给贫民窟里无法上学的孩子们。

It is still considered one of the more unusual ways for raising money for an ambulance, but according to their official website, they were just glad that Sue Harding didn't have to use their service.endprint
