It was sad how people have to drop out of school because they didn't have enough money to stay to pay for books. And how the government owns the bank so much money from lending to build up their country. The people growing use to the idea of wearing second-hand clothes and owning no shops of their own, getting their clothes from America charities that they don't need.
I think that it was somewhat sad that people had to drop out of school to support their families. I'm glad that there is a level of support in this country, but I think it could be easier if the companies selling the clothing would lower their prices and do this charitably.
Something I found sad was that it would take Luka's family over a year to save up enough money to afford a new roof. Luka's mom said it only cost $100 however they would have to save up nearly every cent they made selling clothes for the next year. In America, it would only take about a week to save up that much money working a minimum wage job.
I learned that many of the children in Zambia cannot afford to go to school. This is because they simply can't afford it. Many people there buy the clothes brought in and then re-sell them just so they can make enough money to support themselves and their family. This is really sad because they shouldn't have such big worries at such a young age...
oh woops!.I meant to say "simply because they don't make enough money..."
The documentary really showed me how bad the economy over there is suffering. I found it sad that the people in Africa couldn't afford the things they really need like school and other simple things. The worst thing is that the people keep receiving donations of second-hand clothing instead of things they need like food and doctors.
This movie made me realize how the smallest things can affect someone's life, it was very depressing to watch all those people wearing those cloths that others were basically throwing away. The fact that most kids had to drop out of school and work selling cloths was again depressing. And they make very little income out of doing so.
What I found interesting about the movie "T-Shirt Travels." That made me more encouraging about donating T-Shirts to the people in Africa. Was the way i seen them strugle, and see they didnt have much clothing items to wear. The movie taught me that instead of going to the trash can and throwing clothes away I could turn them into the Salvation Army, Good Will, or other supporting organizations who wants to help Africa and other places.
I thought that it was sad and depressing to see that the some of the kids had to leave getting a education to help support there family. I see that the clothes that they wear are just clothes that people in America don't need. Also it was sad that people can't even make a living because they don't have anything to sell so they have to live on the street dying of hunger.
I think that "T Shirt Travels" was a good movie because you would never thiink the clothes and shoes that you throw away could end up in africa. I also thought that when the clothes get to them they buy the clothes and they sell them to other people in other cities to earn money and trade it for food. To me I would recommend this movie to people who don't appriciate anything and are not proud of what they have.This movie explains alot anout the stuff they throw and give away were most of it goes and ends up at.
I was not here to watch "T-Shirt Travels." I got the flu from my brother and/or my mother. I was out for four days total and I could not move or even breathe without feeling awful. I couldn't eat anything but toast and the occasional saltine and I could only drink water and ginger ale.
Hi
It showed me a little about how they lived,and where their clothes came from. Mostly how they lived had grasped my attention. Dropping out of school and living in small tribes just to get these used clothes, shocked me quite a bit. How people like Luka would make a living off of what he does...selling SecondHand clothes.
I thought it was sad that the people living in Africa can barely afford food. Also that so many of them are forced to drop out of school due to money problems. However, I found it interesting how our clothes are packaged and shipped to Africa instead of being donated elsewhere like people think they will.
It Was Kind Of Surprising Because I Did Not Know That People That Donate Clothes To Local Salvation Army's They Sometimes Donate The Clothes To The Second Hand Factory And They Send Them To Africa. It Was So Many Clothes And I Was Amazed At How They Prepare They're Meals. They Fetch Water From A Pump That Looked Miles Away And Filled Them In Jugs That Looked Heavy.
I learned that the second hand clothing is the largest clothing industry in Zambia. I also learned that a metal roof costs a lot.
I think it is very sad because people had to drop out of school in order to support their family.
