As before, Phase 2 of #jowkawan was conceived as a project for unity and thus shared the same mission, which was, to ease political, racial & social tensions by bringing Malaysians together, regardless of their race, religion or political inclinations, around a shared belief.

However, with Phase 2, we took it nationwide in conjunction with the 58th Merdeka (National Day) celebrations.

We set out to get approx. 5,000 Malaysians to take a “unity pledge” with a twist - each and every name will be assigned a “thread of unity” of varying colours and diversity (representing Malaysia’s diversity). All “threads of unity” pledges collected then went towards the creation of a Merdeka art wall, that was displayed at a prominent neighbourhood shopping mall. In unity, beautiful things happen!

This unity project is an initiative by Volunteers Unite with the support of TEDxKL and ngohub.asia.
