Did you ever wonder...?

Did you ever wonder what happens to clothing donated in the U.S. that is supposed to go to help the poor in other countries?  Well, in the Philippines, it eventually gets into the hands of small thrift stores that typically sell the clothing for 50p per item. That's just a little more than $1, with the current exchange rate fluctuating between 43 & 44 pesos per U.S. Dollar. These people obviously aren't getting rich, and perhaps it is more helpful for them to have a way to make a living than handing out clothes for free, and the people who buy them might appreciate them more at low cost than if they were free. The longer I am here, the more I think that things I once saw as black and white issues may not be that way after all.
