Backpack repaired, not trashed
I gave School uniform, study books, note books, pens, pencils and slippers to needy kids. They asked me to get new backpack showing their backpacks with zipper broken. I replaced zippers in two backpacks.
In navy blue backpack, there were holes on the back panel. I changed the panel. I replaced it with "it" luggage bag material.
"it" company replaced my luggage bag with broken handles. Rather than throwing away, on my request, my son detached the sturdy material that I brought to India in hope to make bag for me. I am grateful to him I saved three backpacks going to trash. I reused luggage bag material. Both good for our environment.
One backpack is not repairable. I will use some parts in future. I am giving another one to needy kid.
