Qatar Charity ..where art thou !

For some reason, Qatar Charity decided to move their used items donation drop off spot to industrial area ! for those of you who don't know, it used to be next to The Mall.

 

The poor PC has been frying in the heat in the trunk of my car for 4 days now, it was going to be my second drop off. What's more sadening is the needy kid who could have been using it by now. But hey, i plan to make the tip to industrial area ! i am determined !

 

that's part of the 2008 plan to reduce donations by 50% .... maybe....

 

some things just don't make sense.

I asked qatar charity guys, they are more than willing to collect items from houses but the problem of some people consider the pick up guy as a city council worker. they give him everything even those which are supposed to go to the bin.

 

Last time the place was turned into a damp site. people bring anything they broom can swip. I found broken toys given away! come on, can't one find a bin outside his apartment.

 

its important you one make sure that whatever you are giving out is useable.

Masterchief, am happy that you are determined to take it where they are now. thats so nice of you. keep up the giving it helps others alot.

Qatar Charity drop off is on the same road as the Thursday/Friday market.  Pass the sign for the market(which will be on your right) and the second of two strips of shops after that (and before the roundabout) has the Qatar Charity place.  Big wooden door with shops either side.  You can see it from the main road.
