I hate to say this but you can read it in the news time and again how some greedy or unscrupulous people have taken advantage of this human sentiment about benevolence. It is human nature to freely give aid to the less unfortunate as well as to the victims of disaster. The sad part is that these aids, especially money do not always end up where they are supposed to be but instead they are pocketed by no less than the collectors themselves posing as relief agencies.

This happens even in the streets. I was once stopped by a guy with his car parked nearby, with hood cover up, saying that he needs help because his car ran out of gas and he need a few dollars to get home which is not far from where he was. Naturally, I had to respond positively and proceeded on my way home. The next day, I passed the same way and there he was again stopping me, and telling me the same lie. Apparently, he has forgotten my face or the look of my car. I told him, "You were here also yesterday saying the same thing, right?" Then he ran away!

Before you give, check first the background of the agency whom you are going to entrust your help to be sure it will end up in the hands of a truly needy human being.

That's very true. People who donate used clothing from abroad to victims of calamity are likely to find the items for sale in second-hand, or ukay-ukay, stores.
These days, a trip to Baguio City is not complete until one visits its famous ?ukay-ukay? or ?wagwagan? stalls. Ukay-ukay or wagwagan are popular terms for the stores that sell second hand clothing, including designer clothes, at incredibly discounted prices.

?It has always been a point of criticism that used clothing from abroad donated to the government, especially to the [Department of Social Welfare and Development], do not reach the intended beneficiaries but rather find their way to ukay-ukay markets?

Stop Smuggling!
