Donating clothing

Advantages: keep children warm, helping out others

...clothing I believe that donating clothing is very important. My best friend and I have a little girl only seven months apart, we always trade cloths. Her little girls feet are way smaller than mine, so she gets all the shoes my daughter out grows. It saves us money, and the cloths are not being wasted. I also donate jackets, snow pants, mittens and hats to "coats for kids". This is a organization in Canada, A very close friend of the family's ...
...he was the one that taught me how important it is to give used clothing, to the people who can not afford it. He passed away while I was in the hospital after having my child, so for him and for all those children who are cold every winter because their family's can not afford a warm jacket for them...I give. I really hope anyone who has children will donate their clothing, toys, boots all that stuff to a good place, don't just through it out. Even ... Read review

...make some other people happy. Donating clothes might not seem very helpful to you but for the ones who need them, it is really a very important things. Just a few weeks ago, I and my brother took out all the clothes which are too small for us after all. There were even very new ones which have not been used , or used for only twice or three times.

Advantages amazing
Disadvantages expensive

...About 6 years ago I worked at Tussaud's as an exhibition guide, my job was to make sure no customer touched the models. People dont know but alot goes into making the models, from measuring, distinguished marks donation of clothes etc etc, before I worked there i had visited once and I learned a great deal, most items in there are origonals and most of the clothes the celebs have on are donated from them that was one of the conditions. I think the price could be lowered as it is too high however if you are fasinated by wax then it is well worth a visit. I would like to say that the Chamber of horrors even though I worked down there alone hundreds of times still scares me to this day, many occasions that I worked at private parties there I sware that ghost's were walking around down there many a time I have had to escape...

Advantages It's home
Disadvantages Maybe it's too close to 'home'?

.... And these were not the beaten up, old jalopy type vehicles, these were nice, air-conditioned four wheel drive, off the road, up the wall, you name it we’ve got it type of vehicles. Maybe I have a vehicle fixation, but it used to make me wonder if the little old lady at home knew that her loving donation for the starving children of Africa had, in all probability gone towards a fleet of vehicles far in excess of what was needed. All these guys worked in the city and rarely ventured up into the bush, although the vehicles did come in handy for the weekend trips to out of town beaches. There are many stories I could relate; sponsored orphans who do not exist, donated clothing turning up on the local market stalls still with Sue Ryder,Oxfam or some such chaity labels on them (you could buy bundles, in Liberia they were known as ‘dead mens clothes...

...George was a giant the scruffiest giant in town.... and so it begins George is a bit down about his apearance so he goes and buys some new clothes. On his way home he meets a whole host of animals with different dillemas and helps them out with by donating an item of clothing. For instance George meets a mouse whose house has burned down and kindly donates a shoe for her and her babies to live in. The book its self is very nice to look at and at A4 size easy for toddler to handle. I have also found it to be very durable (my son stuck stickers on the inside pages and they peeled off easily without damaging the page). I loved the story, the length was just right and there was something to dicuss on every page. I've struggled to find a book that was written using full sentences without being too long or confusing, this book... Read review
