Now, I really feel that God is calling me to do something to the poor. It's my vocation.
Now, I'm trying to find people who wants to donate used clothes/stuff to the poor. Of course it must be in good condition. In a country like Singapore, where the products change rapidly (such as handphones). People don't really think what they throw away, because the poor people here aren't very poor. There are no beggars in the traffic junction, no children selling newspaper/cigarettes on the streets. They don't realise that the stuff that they throw away may be a new thing to others.
I don't really want money because money is the root of all evil and I've seen enough problem in the charitable organisations due to money. Someone told me that, a family was given money for the child education, but the parents misused it. Thus the child didn't go to school.
Distribution of used items is also troublesome. I need to find ways so that people won't take it excessively. They have to take according to their needs. So let me know if you have used clothes/stuff that you want to give away. At the moment, I only concentrate on clothes/shoes/bags, but I also accept other things as well.
