Why Donating Clothes Matters-


I recently spent a week in Haiti (Part of Hispaniola, in the Caribbean)  providing medical missionary assistance with the Haiti Endowment Fund.  I was part of a team of 26 person team  who traveled to Hinche, a 30 minute flight from Port Au Prince.  In one village where we provided medical care,   I took a photo of a man wearing a T-Shirt from Our Lady of Resurrection Medical Center, Chicago.  Again, I am not sure where he got it but this was a great example of how clothes that we donate can really make a difference . In this case, a small village outside Hinche,  where the yearly family income is under US $500.
