> From the original recipient (some corrupt NGO) Hi Cecil When I visit Mumbai on occasion (I was born there and return sometimes), I see a lot of vendors selling used and surplus clothes, especially outside METRO cinema. This is year round and presumably has nothing to do with 'aid', tsumnami or any tradegy. I am not sure how you connected NGO's with 'aid' clothes on the street. Most of the time, I suspect it is plain economics. Most of the shirts probably are surplus clothes which never made it to the retail market it was intended for or out-of-fashion shirts or slightly frayed (as you put it) clothes. I am sure there are some corrupt NGO's, as there are corrupt businesses, but I am not convinced corrupt NGO's were responsible for the clothes which made their way below your office. Regards, George
