I would like to ask each and everyone of you to share this post into your walls and ask your friends and their friends to share as well, so that people get informed and knows what have happened to those relief goods that you all have worked hard. We do not hope for the next time like this to happen but in case something like this happen we already know where and whats going to happen to our donations. SO PLEASE SHARE THIS INTO YOUR WALLS AND ASK YOUR FRIENDS TO DO THE SAME. THANK YOU! Nearly a year after Typhoon Haiyan made thousands of victims are tons of food, clothing and household items never arrived. 600 cubic meters of relief goods are still stuck in the ports of the Philippines. Bureaucracy, corruption and local laws frustrate as private organizations transit. Theresa Gloria from Arnhem collected last year stuff in to her homeland to help the victims. Four containers of stuff is still in the port of Manila. The costs are now in the tens of thousands of euros. In EenVandaag a call. We also look at what is Belgium with a fundraising happened there. Twelve of their containers full of second-hand clothes are not disputed in Philippine ports. Ignorance in private fundraising organizers Dinky Soliman, the Philippine Minister of Social Affairs recognizes the problems, but points to the law on second-hand clothes. Imports of used jeans and T-shirts are prohibited in the Philippines. According to the Minister individuals know too little of these rules. A common problem according Thea Hilhorst. She is Professor of humanitarian aid at the University of Wageningen. Yet she would not discourage individuals to donate. She suggests that you can give so the stuff locally purchased. Better in money Both donors have used clothes and other stuff collected, but point out that it is relief. They therefore want the Philippine government takes its responsibility..
