Donated Goods are Discouraged |
|
| |
We discourage drives for any tangible goods that would have to be transported to El Salvador. In addition to the transport and customs expense, a mature understanding of charity requires that we respond to economic realities: it helps build El Salvador's economy if we buy "goods" there.
It gives store-owners, truckers, and many others jobs. It signals where there is real demand for products so that sustained growth in the economy can be recognized. It helps break the cycle of dependency. |
