Hands up if you've got boxes full of baby/children clothes that are sitting in your loft or cellar? Yep, us too. We've got boxes of them and, although there are definitely certain pieces that hold sentimental value, most are just going to sit there, no longer used, and taking up space until we inevitably get rid of them.
It's a shocking stat that, here in the UK, we dump almost a third of our unwanted clothes in landfill. If you like your figures, that equates to 350,000 tonnes every single year! Here's another stat for you: if we can just extend the lifespan of our clothes by three months we can reduce carbon and water waste by up to 5-10% each year. For us adults it's largely about getting good use out of our clothes but children seem to grow at a rate of knots so it's pretty difficult to do that once you're family is complete.
Step forward JoJo Maman Bébé, who started their FAMTA (From a Mother to Another) campaign in 2015 which has distributed 125,000 pieces of clothing and 21,000 pairs of shoes to children living in crisis in Lebanon, Turkey, the UK and Ireland.
If you want to get involved, you have until 18th March, Mother's Day so it's time to get sorting. They're looking for clothes aged 0-6 years and children's shoes organised into labelled bags containing 4 pieces (i.e. 1-2 years, boys, summer) that can make up one or more outfit. There's a complete checklist on their website, so follow this link for all the information. It's such a fantastic well-thought out campaign and, I know I'm a soppy dote, but the fact that you can help another mother look after her children gives me a lump in my throat, especially when you look at images like the one at the start of this post of a girl in a snowy refugee camp in Jordan with ill-fitting shoes, no coat or even tights/socks. After the weather we've had in the last week, I dread to think how cold she must be.
Anyway, enough of my emotions. Time to get sorting!
My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough. here is his Email: emutemple@gmail.com or call/text him on his WhatsApp +2347012841542
ReplyDeleteOur struggle with infertility started in 2018, months after we got married. After a year of failed attempts trying to conceive naturally, we seek help through a local specialist. We were told that our treatment options were limited, and after a year of no progress, we were close to giving up. We decided to take a break from the struggle and heartache to discuss our options. During that time, we researched and found Priest Babaka, We knew after reading patient success stories and his achievements that we wanted to meet with him. Little did we know how much he would change our lives. At our consultation, he told us that we had a 0% chance of conceiving and that his Pregnancy Herbal Medicine was our only option.We decided to go through with the process and on our first try, I became pregnant with twins!
ReplyDeleteFast forward 9 months later and meet our twins :) Leighton and Hamilton were born April 5th . We can’t thank Priest Babaka enough for the tremendous care that he provided and for the greatest gift we’ve ever been given, the gift of being parents. contact Priest Babaka on babaka.wolf@gmail.com or Facebook at priest.babaka , you will definitely have a baby to make you a parent. He handle Pregnancy related cases.
