When deciding to donate items to help other people, you might think that you should donate anything you can find that you don’t need and hope your donations will reach the most people. However, this thinking isn’t always the best way to approach donating. In many cases, focusing on quantity over quality can actually cause more harm than good for charitable organizations and the people they help. This article will help answer the question, “Is donating more about quantity or quality?”
Donating Clothing
Closets full of barely used clothes are common in many homes. In this case, quantity is important for donations since many people struggle to afford the clothes they need. However, this shouldn’t be to the detriment of quality.
You can donate hundreds of ratty or torn-up clothing items, and they won’t go on to help anyone because of their poor condition. Having more clothes to choose from is always a good thing, but donated clothes should always be in good, wearable condition.
Donating Food Items
When we consider food items, you might wonder if donating them is more about quantity or quality. Here, we find a tradeoff you need to balance carefully. People who struggle to afford meals can make use of unspoiled food, but that doesn’t mean they deserve to eat only the cheapest, lowest-quality food.
It’s much simpler and more affordable for us to donate low-cost ramen noodles and canned beans, but that kind of food is rarely the most nutritious, which is where the focus should be. Large quantities of food are good for wide distribution or in emergencies. When supporting people’s health and well-being, stick to donating high-quality and nutritious food.
Donating Furniture and Miscellaneous Items
You can also donate items such as furniture or small kitchen appliances, but you’ll need to consider these items more carefully. Stick to the quality side of the spectrum for these kinds of donations. Low-quality appliances, furniture, or toys don’t serve as much purpose because they are more likely to be unreliable. Someone in a tough financial situation doesn’t also need to deal with a broken appliance they just bought with their hard-earned money.
The urge to donate important items that people need is a good one, but the pragmatic approach often helps more people. Make sure you carefully consider the level of quality in your donations so they can truly be useful to the people you’re trying to help.
The International Mock Trial on Human Rights is the culmination of a year-long programme organized by The Social Excellence Forum (SEF) for a diverse group of 20-30 young leaders, ages 15-22 years, from several countries.
---
The students will interrogate the actions and responsibilities of Ernst Rudin, the so-called father of Nazi Racial Hygiene. The Mock Trial will cover the subject of human rights violations, racism and discrimination, and the responsibility of leaders for the consequences of their incitement and actions. The International Youth Mock Trial on Human Rights is organized by The Social Excellence Forum (SEF), with the support of the Holocaust and the United Nations Outreach Programme. The Social Excellence Forum (SEF) is a non-profit youth leadership training initiative.

United Nations Video: Pakistan, Ukraine & other topics - Daily Press Briefing (30 January 2023)
Noon briefing by Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesperson for the Secretary-General.
Highlights:
- Pakistan
- Ukraine
- Iran
- Haiti
- Venezuela
- Guinea
- Hybrid Briefing Tomorrow
- Honour Roll
PAKISTAN
The Secretary-General strongly condemns the suicide bombing that took place at a mosque in Peshawar in Pakistan, earlier today.
It is particularly abhorrent that such an attack occurred at a place of worship. Freedom of religion freedom of belief and the ability to worship in peace is a fundamental human right.
The Secretary-General extends his heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims and wishes a prompt recovery to those injured, and he reiterates the solidarity of the United Nations with the Government and people of Pakistan in their efforts to address terrorism and violent extremism.
UKRAINE
Turning to Ukraine. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) says that fighting and hostilities over the weekend killed and injured civilians, while critical facilities, including several hospitals, were damaged on both sides of the frontline.
On Saturday evening, dozens of civilians were reportedly killed or injured during an attack on a hospital in Novoaidar in the part of Luhansk region currently under military control of the Russian Federation. Earlier the same day, another health facility was reportedly hit in areas under Russian control in the Kherson region.
On Sunday, attacks were reported in Kherson city and other parts of the region that are under Ukrainian control. Health workers were reportedly injured when the Kherson Clinical Hospital was hit. Other civilians were killed or injured and civilian infrastructure - including homes and schools - were damaged.
In Kharkiv city, a residential building was hit last night, once again killing and injuring civilians. Our humanitarian colleagues are on the ground, supporting the survivors.
While there is limited access to areas not under Ukrainian control and the United Nations cannot independently verify the number of casualties, it is clear that the International Humanitarian Law prohibits indiscriminate attacks and requires the parties to take all feasible precautions to avoid or minimize civilian harm. The United Nations calls on both sides to comply with these obligations.

United Nations Video: Afghan girls access to education: Int'l Day of Education - Press Conference (24 January 2023)
The fifth International Day of Education is celebrated under the theme “to invest in people, prioritize education”. UNESCO is dedicating this year's International Day to girls and women in Afghanistan who have been deprived of their right to education.
Speaking to journalists in New York today (24 Jan), Stefania Giannini, Assistant Director General for Education of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) said, “Currently, all Afghan girls and women above the age of 12 are denied access to secondary schools and, more recently, to universities following the decisions of the de facto authorities.”
Giannini added, “A basic human right is at risk and adjust the listening to the voices of these girls and women.”
She repeated the message coming from Afghan young women “please work on the ground, work for people there, especially women and girls and weak people there.”
According to Giannini, “With higher education, we have to think and move more creatively and also involve the international community.”
She also said about an alliance of universities as a collective afford to host Afghan girls and women in the coming months.
Asked about other solutions, Giannini said, “I mentioned the radio channel as the most effective tool to reach out from Kabul, at least because as far as you know, connectivity is not a common good for all the rural zones.”
She continued, “I think that courses, lessons in classrooms online cannot be a solution for the entire country.”

ODN Video: Why are DEADLY Peru Protests Continuing?
'Why are DEADLY Peru Protests Continuing?'
Deadly protests sweeping across Peru show no signs of slowing, as thousands call for Peru’s president Dina Boluarte to stand down.
Lawmakers partially met the demonstrators’ demands, by bring forward the 2026 elections, to 2024. But for the protesters, that’s not enough.
Even the president herself has asked that the election date is brought forward again - to this year.
But, congress rejected the proposal on Saturday, with 45 votes in favour, 65 against and two abstentions.
The country has been embroiled in a political crisis with near-daily protests since the 7th of December 2022, when the former president Pedro Castillo was arrested after attempting to dissolve congress, and rule by decree. His vice president, Boluarte, immediately took over and has faced strong opposition ever since.
But what started as outrage and grief surrounding Castillo’s arrest has morphed into protests that reflect the lack of political representation many Peruvians, especially those outside the capital of Lima, have felt for decades.
The political crisis has been exacerbated in recent years - by the economic impact of the pandemic and access to services like health care and education.
The current president is the sixth head of state in less than five years.
At the heart of the crisis is Peru’s broken political system. Both the presidency and congress are widely perceived as corrupted institutions. Even if the current president stepped down as the protesters demand, there is no firm solution to the crisis.

ODN Video: Zahawi Tax Storm: What Did Sunak Know When He Appointed Him?
'Zahawi Tax Storm: What Did Sunak Know When He Appointed Him?'
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak insists he acted decisively when publicly sacking Nadhim Zahawi after it was found he’d breached the ministerial code several times over nearly two years.
But Labour says there are still "serious questions" to be answered regarding when the PM found out HMRC was investigating Zahawi. They suggest he knew about the fromer Chancellor’s tax affairs when he appointed him to his cabinet.
After Sunak launched n investigation into Zahawi, it took less than a week to find that he’d broken the ministerial code, but Zahawi’s allies have raised concerns about how the investigation was carried out.
This all comes against the backdrop of already-waning public trust in UK politics. One poll, published by Ipsos in November 2022, found that just 12% of people have faith in politicians to tell the truth.
Zahawi’s has lost the trust of many his constituents in Stratford-Upon-Avon, who are relieved that he was removed from his post, some even suggesting he should step aside as their MP.

Global Video: Mummering: Newfoundland's unique holiday tradition comes roaring back
This past weekend in St. John’s Newfoundland, hundreds of people hit the streets for the Atlantic province’s annual Mummers Parade.
As part of this festive tradition, people gather up old clothes that have been lying around the house –tablecloths and oversized shirts are a favourite – and assemble a “mummer’s rig” or costume.
Originally, mummering was a house-visiting tradition. It first appeared in Newfoundland and Labrador in the 1800’s, though the practice dates back much further than that. Mummers would visit their neighbours in disguise, looking for beer and a bite to eat.
Alyssa Julie has more on the history of mummering - and the dark parts of its past.

Global Video: Breast cancer survivors say issues like early menopause, loss of identity often overlooked
Just days ahead of her 40th birthday, Hilary Boswell received a terrifying diagnosis – She had breast cancer.
She received a unilateral mastectomy, a surgery she didn’t necessarily want but felt pressured into by her surgeon. It left her with one breast and, she says, it changed the way she saw herself.
“I remember struggling so much with the idea of walking around with one boob,” she said. “I just really felt like I knew what I wanted… and yeah, I wish I had done it, “ she added, referring to a double mastectomy.
Like Boswell, other cancer survivors sometimes struggle to accept the changes brought on by surgery or chemotherapy – such as early menopause, or loss of libido. And they don’t always get the support they need.
As Alyssa Julie reports in our series Against all Odds, some survivors and experts are asking health professionals to shed more light on the impact of a cancer diagnosis on the body and the mind.

Global Video: Outside the margins: BIPOC and LGBTQ2 breast cancer patients rewrite the narrative
People from racialized and 2SLGBTQQIA+ communities are underrepresented in the institution of cancer care, and they’re slipping through the cracks because of it.
“I really felt like my issues didn’t matter. And I didn’t feel confident in making a decision about a life-changing surgery because I didn’t see myself represented,” said Michelle Audoin, the founder of Uncovered: A Breast Recognition Project. “The fact that I didn’t see myself in this space and my questions weren’t being addressed, it led to depression.”
For breast cancer, a reproductive cancer, the disparity can be especially apparent for the latter group. One thing is clear: it’s time to rewrite the narrative of what a typical cancer survivor looks like.
To do so, members of the community across Canada are fighting against these gaps, from diversifying what breast cancer looks like to writing a graphic memoir.

Global Video: "It's part of everybody's history": CNE's post-pandemic return revives multi-generational traditions
The Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) is back in Toronto after a two-year pandemic hiatus, and with its return, small businesses that struggled with the closure are back.
With revenue going from 100 to 0 when the Exhibition closed for two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, being back at the CNE this year is extra-special for patrons and especially the small family businesses passed down from generation to generation.
“As much as this is a generational business for me and a family business, it’s also something that is an experience that generations have gone to the CNE and enjoyed,” said Sam Scanga, owner of several food booths at the CNE he runs with his family, referring to attendees’ love of his Primo Spaghetti 1.99. "It's part of everybody's history."
Global's Alexia Kapralos and Katherine Cheng have some of their stories.
