    Hi Ladies,

    Its been rather long I logged in, time time but no time Computer Typing

    Firstly many thanks for keeping those emails rolling, its fun to smile when I open my mailbox in the morning:) Life is otherwise so full of pressures, if we can make each other smile, I think the website's working :clap

    Just an idea that hit my mind..we all have stuff at home like
    - useless
    - or in a good condition but of no use to us,
    - stuff that we kinda need but takes the space that we can otherwise clean up
    - stuff i can think : toys/books/stationery/cushions/home accessories

    Whoever puts it up, just put the option of whether its for sale or want it give it away for free..as they say someone's loss being another's gain!

    Taking this one step further, whenever that happens, gather old clothes, packed food, medicines and give it to charities from IL. Will take effort but I promise you will all feel very good having give something of yours to someone who needs it more than you:cheers
    Have a lovely day!:wave:

    dear leena,

    i think thats a very good idea. i have got a few kitchen items which i purchased but not used even once. also medicines so many medicines but dont know where to give.
    i think there should be some place where these medicines can go to the labourers or poor people residing in dubai since medicines are so expensive out here

    Hi Leenasher

    Thanks for starting the tread.
    Do you know where can we donate used clothes? Usually I pack it up and drop it at the red crescent office at Abu Dhabi carrefour on Muroor road. Do we have any place in Dubai?

    Hi Ladies ...:party

    I reply after so long..shows how inactive I can get na!

    There is a place which takes care of women in distress in Dubai. If you guys have any of the below, let me know and we will find a way of getting it to them.

    1. Old clothes for women and children
    2. Medicines
    3. Electronics - coffee maker/vacuum cleaner

    Its a good cause and a better than throwing it away...

    Take care !:gift
