Ever wonder where those shirts you donated to charity go?

Port au Prince’s Fifth Avenue is a waterfront road, just off the harbor, where mountains of second hand clothes bake in the tropical sun. The market, Croix-des-Bossales, is where the slaves used to be sold. Now it is not strong men from Africa that the merchants receive, but containers loaded with skirts, pants and shirts from the US. These second-hand garments are called “Pepe” and it is increasingly difficult to see a Haitian wearing something that has not been previously worn by an American.

She definitely looks better not dyed as a blonde. :w00t:

 

Is the company distributing thwm getting them on 2 cents on a dollar from charitable organizations? I found out that one of the children charitable organizations I was regularly donating to was not actually getting items but getting 2 cents on a dollar and organization was selling them to thrift shops. If I wanted to donate 2 cents on a dollar for items I'd sell them directly to such stores and donate the money directly.

There are about a gazillion Bills Super Bowl Champion t-shirts in underdeveloped countries...just like there are hundreds of Patriots* 19-0 shirts.

 

I still laugh everytime I see a Giants fan in an 18-1 shirt.
