i was on my home from school last saturday. it was a tiring a day and i have to get in a-two-hour bus trip home. and suddenly the bus stops and new passengers joined us in the bus. there were ten of them. they are member of the indigenous group here in our place, and kindda smell stinky. and i don't mind having been seated next to a stinky person. and i get to chat one of them. he said they went to the market to sell their crops and they bought rice grains and seasoning. i asked him again do they have plans of buying new clothes, (because their clothes are all worn-out)he said they buying clothes is not their priority. and then one of the passenger apporached the bus driver and moments later, my seatmate and their group was forced to go out of the bus. when they left, the passenger who approached the driver said while looking at me, "they stink you know, its better that they are not here. the air is much fresher." i felt bad. and i'm planning to collect used clothes here in out place and give it to those people. so they will not be discriminated again. people here in mylot, can also give your used clothes if you want.

Hello mate. Your thoughts are just great. And i respect your feelings for poor people. But i wanna just say that members of mylot are from diffirent countries. Some are from India' USA' UK and many other countries. So if they will send you used cloths to phillpines then it will be too costly. It is better to ask for ued cloths in your local area. Then it will be more useful for you. Thanks
