One of the main things I've noticed at the day care is how many of the kids' clothes had obviously been donated from America. I always donate my old clothes and think "yeah this will go to some poor kid in Africa". And actually seeing the poor kids in Africa wearing the donated clothing is really touching. Today, one boy at the day care was wearing the top to a cheerleading uniform as a t-shirt.
Please, whatever you can, donate. It really does go to children in need.
