Where the heck do you store..
Yes where do you store the old clothes you plan to give to the 'Salation Army' some day, the extra cutlery/blankets/suitcases/bedsheets for those 'just in case' moments, the adopted odd coffee cups who lost their families and the old books/reference books/magazines/newspaper cuttings....... the list is endless. No matter how many wardrobes/runners/book cases/wood baskets... I buy my house is spilling over the brim.
i gave 100s of baby's items to qatar charity, they spent 15mn thanking me for it, as it was all in good condition!
b carefull, if it's broken or in bad shape, or dirty they will throw it in the huge garbage bins around their building.
these items are sent to palestine, africa and many other countries.
sometimes i find people even digging in the bins for their needs...
Which means I have to be a member in expatwoman.com
there is a lady in expatwoman.com (qatar section) call gwenew, if you contact her ... she also can distribute your stuffs to the one in need. I normally drop my stuffs in her house and she sorting it out.
Thank you Qatari. I really appreciate it.
Skdkak, I don't think they will accept second hand clothes. Just yesterday my watchman enacted a shivering scene in front of my husband and asked for a brand new jacket just like hubby's !!!. He really looked funny trying to explain how he shivers since it is too cold. Thanks for the suggestion.
One more suggession.
Y dont u check with those tip asking people who bother u sometimes a lot. That is one more way to make space in ur already crowded closet.

What secrets !! I have a 3 year old for pete sake. I guess my rubbish remains with me if the labourers won't take it. When in Sharjah I used to drop it at the Thomas Cook branch.

[img_assist|nid=21285|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

Whatever Makes You Happy...
CB, I have a lot of toys and women clothing to spare. I don't care about the labourers nationality as long as someone is putting them to use. I am sure some have their families with them so I can donate old clothes.
Either I collect them or you can bring them to me whatever is best for you.
My neighbour is the representive for all foreign Nepalese working abroad, however he ditributes to Sri Lankan and Indians alike.
He just set a store for abandoned labourers until so they can use everything.
you store them in ur car trunk???
what if the police did checking and found out those pinky tops and other ahem ahem then ?? :D
[img_assist|nid=21285|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]
Let me know the collection point CB and the date you collect them.
Darude, got it. Thanks again.
Oii Qatarisun. Labourers with pink tank tops and high heels.
oh, and I store it in the trunk of my car… as back home we have these huge boxes (booths) all around the city, where you can put your clothes, feet wear, home stuff… so I usually keep items for donation in my trunk.. but sometimes I carry this stuff for few months till get rid of it (keep forgetting..lol)

You can give it to me as I am collecting food an clothes for the the labourers there is a store,
This will be used for stranded or abondened labourers.
Indus Area = Industrial Area go up to the new indus part there you will find alot of them.
[img_assist|nid=21285|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]
but I am not sure whether my style and my size will be suitable/fittable for the labours...sorry guys, no my pink tops or my high hill shoes for you...
***********************
Whatever Makes You Happy...
Thanks Darude. But you will have to give me a detailed location. Indus area .... ???? never spotted anything with this name on the map.
Just go to indus area and you will find alot of camps called labour house or labour camp. or go to Qatar Charity or Red cross.
[img_assist|nid=21285|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]
I know I've seen some somewhere but trying to find them again is a totally different matter!
Good idea. Now who will tell me the location of these camps.
don't store it..take it over to the workers camps and gift it to them. I'm sure they can use it and will definitely appreciate any and everything you have since they have nothing and certainly not enough money to buy items. that way you get two birds with one stone...room in your house and you help others out.
