This space is too limited for us...dear only_truth,<br /><br />This space is too limited for us to be fighting over these things. What I hoped for was that the reader would be evolved enough to get the message, to look beyond the women's issues and at the larger picture... At least I made an effort and got out there and collected 5000 + clothes (of all kinds), ensured a supply chain that they got to the right kind of people, and hence contributed in my own small way towards the cause. Apart from commenting on my blog, what did you do, o dear only_truth?Abhishek Joshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01849594965376439650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140405630015326333.post-33539631676161911902009-11-14T22:33:03.895-08:002009-11-14T22:33:03.895-08:00you seem to be lacking on a lot of info, dear! e.g...you seem to be lacking on a lot of info, dear! e.g. "After all, what would anyone do with someone's used clothes but to wear them?"- well,they are sold 2nd hand(i hope you've seen a 2nd hand market) and at the best dumped in some obscure place. very few actually reach the right place, so Marie's scepticism is justified.<br />also, why don't your blog narrate the horrific state of unclothed little streetchildren? why the titillating 'women menses' syndrome? can't u see the sublinimal effect that little speech had on u? of all the things and stories u seem to recollect only two!

That's how he described clothes. So, as soon as it gets out of ur head, head over to the nearest NGO that collects used clothes and hand them over. Someone just might survive the winter because of that gesture. You'll find lots of NGO addresses/contact numbers online, and don't worry about the stuff not reaching the right people. After all, what would anyone do with someone's used clothes but to wear them?Abhishek Joshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01849594965376439650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140405630015326333.post-49922360121740034282009-09-06T22:51:04.623-07:002009-09-06T22:51:04.623-07:00The hapless spending has to be curbed on an indivi...The hapless spending has to be curbed on an individual level... Reading this, i felt ashamed thinking of the clothes we dispose off coz we got bored of it. <br /><br />I realised that and hope more people do. But reaching these people who "really are in need" becomes difficult.<br />I just don't want to content myself with some meagre donation. How do we make sure that we reach them?Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16820211359024277868noreply@blogger.com
