Heavy Generosity

Never underestimate the generosity of sports fans and those who listen to heavy metal.  Many of the people in the villages and in the town of Balaka get clothes from charity organizations who in turn received them from donations.  So far the most common type of donated clothing is sports apparel ranging from American basketball, football, baseball, and hockey teams.  There are also soccer shirts, but since it is the national sport those are usually made here or bought new.  Heavy Metal T-shirts are surprisingly popular.  Pantera, Megadeth, Korn, Slipknot, and ACDC fans are very good about donating clothes to charity unless of course these bands have a much broader appeal than I ever thought possible.
