Not sure what to do now.

In searching for the answer of where to send my "stuff" (see previous post: Uncomfortable in my own house), I found this article.   It explains what happens to the clothes we *think* we are donating to charities.  VERY eye opening.  And once again I got to see how western culture, (i.e. America) is ruining the African economy & culture.   My sending my stuff there only feeds into the problem, yet there are people who NEED it.  Read the article and you'll know what I'm talking about.  It's rather long, but interesting.

Wow, I never thought about the business my cast offs have been supporting! Definitely some food for thought...
