Donated for Good, Sold for Profit: The Hidden Journey of Charity Clothes
In a quiet town in Germany, one curious donor decided to follow the journey of a pair of sports shoes placed in a Red Cross charitable clothing bin — not out of mistrust, but out of sheer curiosity. Hidden inside the shoe was a discreet tracking device, and with that, a social experiment began. The signal traced the shoe's journey from Germany, through Austria, Slovenia, and Croatia, before finally arriving at a second-hand clothing store in Bosnia, where the once-donated sneakers were placed on display with a price tag of 10 euros. What started as a simple donation transformed into a revealing insight into the global second-hand clothing trade. The journey showed that not all charitable donations end up in the hands of the needy. Instead, many make their way through a vast network of sorting centers, resellers, and international buyers, eventually landing in marketplaces across Eastern Europe, Africa, and Asia. The donor's experiment has reignited public discussion about transparency in charitable organizations and where donated goods truly go. While some argue that selling used clothes abroad generates income for charities and sustains recycling, others feel the original intent of helping local communities may be getting lost. As for the tracked shoes, they now sit in a Bosnian shop window — no longer just footwear, but a symbol of a much larger conversation.

Gender not main factor in attacks on Egyptian woman pharaoh: Study
The mummified remains of Queen Hatshepsut, ancient Egypt's most famous female pharaoh, lie in a glass case under the national flag moments before being unveiled at the Cairo Museum 27 June 2007. She was one of ancient Egypt's most successful rulers, a rare female pharaoh who preceded Cleopatra by 1,500 years, but Queen Hatshepsut's legacy was systematically erased by her stepson successor after her death. The question of why her impressive reign was so methodically scrubbed has attracted significant debate, but in new research published Monday, University of Toronto scholar Jun Wong argues far too much emphasis has been placed on her gender. 'It's quite a romantic question: why was this pharaoh attacked after her death?' Wong told AFP, explaining his interest in a monarch who steered ancient Egypt through a period of extraordinary prosperity. Earlier scholars believed Queen Hatshepsut's stepson Thutmose III unleashed a posthumous campaign of defilement against her out of revenge and hatred, including because he wanted to purge any notion that a woman could successfully rule. 'The way in which (Hatshepsut's) reign has been understood has always been colored by her gender,' Wong said, referencing beliefs that Thutmose III may have viewed her as 'a kind of an evil stepmother.' Visitors stand behind the bust of the ancient Egyptian queen Hatshepsut (1479-1458 BC) at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo's central Tahrir Square on June 11, 2025. --AFP photos His research, which builds on other recent scholarship and is being published in the journal Antiquity, argues Thutmose III's motivations were far more nuanced, casting further doubt on the theory of backlash against a woman in charge. Hatshepsut ruled Egypt roughly 3,500 years ago, taking over following the death of her husband Thutmose II. She first served as regent to her stepson, the king-in-waiting, but successfully consolidated power in her own right, establishing herself as a female pharaoh. Experts say she expanded trade routes and commissioned extraordinary structures, including an unparallelled mortuary in the Valley of the Kings on the Nile's west bank. Wong reassessed a range of material from damaged statues uncovered during excavations from 1922 to 1928. He said there is no doubt Thutmose III worked to eliminate evidence of Hatshepsut's achievements, but his efforts were 'perhaps driven by ritual necessity rather than outright antipathy,' Wong said. Thutmose III may have been trying to neutralize the power of his predecessor in a practical and common way, not out of malice. He also found that some of the statues depicting Hatshepsut were likely damaged because later generations wanted to reuse them as building materials. 'For a long time, it has been assumed that Hatshepsut's statuary sustained a vindictive attack,' Wong said, arguing that a fresh look at the archives suggests 'this is not the case.' - AFP The mummified remains of Queen Hatshepsut, ancient Egypt's most famous female pharaoh, lie in a glass case after being unveiled at the Cairo Museum 27 June 2007.

So... the War Didn't Happen. Now What About All That Food and Water?
KUWAIT CITY, June 25: When tensions between Israel and Iran recently reached a boiling point, many people across the Gulf, locals and expats alike, rushed to stock up on essentials. Supermarket shelves were cleared of water bottles as families braced themselves for possible disruptions. Now, with a ceasefire in place and life slowly returning to normal, many households are left with overflowing pantries and more supplies than they'll ever need. So, what should you do with all that extra food? Share the Goodness, Donate to Those in Need There are plenty of people in Kuwait and Gulf countries who still struggle to put food on the table, especially laborers and low-income families. If you have unopened, non-perishable items or bread that's still fresh, consider donating to local charities, food banks, or even your neighborhood mosque. Organizations like the Red Crescent make sure your donations reach those who need them most. Create a Neighborhood Sharing Circle Why not turn surplus into an opportunity to connect? Set up a WhatsApp group or simply chat with your neighbors to see who might need what. Flour, rice, oil, or baby food—these basics can make a big difference for someone nearby who may have missed out during the rush. Store What You Can, the Smart Way Not everything has to go! Many pantry staples last for months if stored correctly. Check expiration dates, use up items that won't last long, and keep things in cool, dry spots. Investing in airtight containers for grains or lentils can help keep them fresh for future use. Learn and Shop Smarter Next Time If this experience taught us anything, it's that panic-buying often leads to waste. Being prepared is wise, but there's no need to hoard. Going forward, try to buy only what you need, keep your pantry organized, and remember: a little planning goes a long way. As calm returns, those extra supplies can do more than just fill your shelves—they're a chance to help others, strengthen community ties, and build a spirit of resilience. True preparedness isn't just about weathering the storm, but about how we support each other when the skies clear.
