A Bundle of Used Clothes Put To Good Use

--by luckyman, posted Sep 4, 2010

Today I received a large bundle of used clothes, most of them women's, from a friend who collects them from various well-to-do people in his community. Initially I did not know what I was going to with the clothes.

Suddenly I remembered my friend Devi, a poor widow, and her teenage daughter. They live in a slum and so I knew they could also share the clothes if the sizes did not fit them. So I called the daughter as she was leaving her work and arranged to hand the clothes over to her. She took them home on the bus after work.

It was satisfying to do something useful and I am sure they were happy to receive the free gifts. I hope to continue helping people this way by spending my time and using my contacts.

It's the small things that matter.
