If you know someone in Africa; send it to them to give to a local church or something... The bigger organizations are rife with mismanagement; and you'll end up lining some fat cats pockets.

I'm not entirely sure whther you already have the old clothes/ canned good yet. If you have already collected them, then your best bet is turning them into cash, or donate them to oxfam. The cost of shipping them is prohibitive and niether will fill any great need in a place so culturally different from yours. This is especially true of the food. If you have yet to collect them, unless you have access to distribution of some sort, i would direct your energy towards working for a charity, like oxfam or save the children, who has the resourses
and experties to get better value for money from your kindness.

i myself might start up with human beings bringing one dish representative from their very own history. which would be basic and get incredibly everyone interior the temper and thinking forward to the subsequent social gathering. incredibly everyone might get to pattern the quite a few cuisines and doubtless vote on the subsequent region or u . s . a .. I went to a social gathering years in the past the place incredibly everyone introduced a dish from their history and it became plenty exciting. It fairly have been given human beings talking and mingling that's certainly exciting in case you invite somewhat some diverse people who do no longer understand one yet another. possibly you have incredibly everyone e mail you their recipes earlier the social gathering after which you may kind all of them up for each man or woman. purely a concept or 2....

Hello Tiffani,
There are some institutions to help with your good feelings... but I guess it would be more confident if you try UNESCO...
It's easy to find through the search bottom...
Bye..

Contact Voice of the Martyrs at http://www.persecution.com My daughter and I send blankets there, but they have other programs as well.

Drop it off at your nearest Oxfam shop, ask in there what you can do to help. Get your mom to take you.
