Life can seem ungrateful
and not always kind...
Life can pull at your heartstrings
and play with your mind...
Life can be blissful
and happy and free...
Life can put beauty
in the things that you see ...
Life can place challenges
right at your feet...
Life can make good
of the hardships we meet...
Life can overwhelm you
and make your head spin...
Life can reward those
determined to win...
Life can be hurtful
and not always fair...
Life can surround you
with people who care ...
Life clearly does offer
its ups and its downs...
Life's days can bring you
both smiles and frowns...
Life teaches us to take
the good with the bad...
Life is a mixture
of happy and sad...
SO...
Take the life that you have
and give it your best...
Think positive be happy
let God do the rest...
Take the challenges that life
has laid at your feet...
Take pride and be thankful
for each one you meet...
To yourself give forgiveness
if you stumble and fall...
Take each day that is dealt you
and give it your all...
Take the love that you're given
and return it with care...
Have faith that when needed
it will always be there...
Take time to find the beauty
in the things that you see...
Take life's simple pleasures
let them set your heart free...
The idea here is simply
to even the score...
As you are met and faced with
Life's Tug of War. - UAFC1 anno fa

Clothes Collection
The objective of Planet Aid's Clothes Collection is to establish an efficient reuse system for second hand clothing. It is a locally based activity benefiting Planet Aid's development aid objectives, while also contributing to local and national goals for increased recycling.
This is how it works:
We place our clothes collection boxes in your neighborhood. You drop off your unwanted clothes, shoes, and small toys in a box.
Note: We can not accept appliances, furniture, or household goods. Please do not leave items outside our boxes.
The clothing is regularly collected by one of our drivers and brought to our warehouse. The clothing is then packaged for re-sale before being shipped out. The clothing is either re-sold in U.S. and Canada or overseas.
The proceeds from the sale of the clothing are used for community development projects in Africa and Asia.
This is all made possible by our yellow collection boxes. We routinely empty the boxes and assure that they are kept as neat as possible. When necessary, we switch boxes in need of repair.
We would like to thank our site hosts for generously donating space in their parking lots for our collection boxes. Their help is key to our success!Musica

How Can I Help?
Most people have items of good clothing which they never use. The clothes are stored in closets or attics and eventually are thrown in the trash and dumped into landfills.
Planet Aid tackles this problem right in your community by recycling and reusing the clothes. We collect the used clothing, keep it out of the landfills and thus help towns and municipalities to save money and resources.
The clothes are resold to raise funds for development projects such as schools, health programs or HIV/AIDS prevention in Africa, Asia and Central America.
This is how you can help:
We are looking for more businesses and organizations to host our collection boxes, so that we can collect more clothes and raise more funds.

Donate funds for development
$1 can't even buy you a soda here in the U.S. anymore.
$1 goes much further in an impoverished part of the world, where U.S. dollars are worth more than local currencies, and goods and services are generally cheaper.
Planet Aid contributes the funds raised to established development programs in Africa, Central America, China, and India - programs that have the infrastructure and experience to maximize the value of money invested.
$20 can educate 14 people through our HOPE HIV/AIDS program in Zambia, where the HIV infection rate is 16.5% (source: United Nations).
$50 can support 1 child at boarding school at the Benguela Street Children's School, Angola.
To Donate directly to Planet Aid please click on the badge below. This link will take you directly to the Paypal site where you may make a donation of $5, $10, $20 and more to Planet Aid.
These donations will aid in helping us fund various programs in Africa and Asia!
You can also find us on Facebook!
You can also visit Giveline.com and help Planet Aid as you shop. A percentage of the sales of the items on their website will go directly to Planet Aid to benefit programs in Africa!
