Depending on your size, some orphanages with older kids might be interested. |

| I have clothes I want to donate, too. There's a green drop-off container near my apartment, but there's also a second-hand shop close, too. Makes me wonder. I don't want to donate my stuff if some asshole is just going to raid the drop-off just to stock his store. |

I know that BIWA (busan international women's club) supports an orphanage, soup kitchen, and i think a women's shelter too. They would take your clothes if you are in busan.

Here is SIWA in Seoul. They do charity work as well.

| If you want to have them sent to earthquake victims in Kashmir (their homes have been destroyed and they're spending this winter in the mountains in tents) send me a PM and I'll put you in touch with someone who can arrange it. |

I'm just wondering -- is sending donations of clothing there the best thing to do? It leaves the agencies there with the task of transporting and distributing your donations. Are there not locally-available climactically and culturally appropriate clothing available if the money is there? |

| Usually, the most effective donation you can make is money. Sending a huge box of clothes is not as worthwhile as donating $20. Transportation costs, and in the case of Pakistan, the low cost of local products makes sending clothes kind of inefficient. It makes people feel better, but money is the best thing you can send. |

| The yellow bins you can find around neighborhoods and apartment buildings are for clothing donations. |

Right, who wants second hand clothes? Recycle them. |

Relax-- he's joking about the yellow bins actually being recycling containers. Maybe he's right... |
