hats, crayons, toys, school supplies, hygiene items... there are a lot of things to consider. Do you know anything else about the boy aside from his name and age? Like size and what he likes to do in general?

hmm books in spanish
ordinary toys that to some of us might seem like um stupid i guess... because like i went to mexico over the summer and i like stayed in this village called sahcaba for about 4 days and everyone there is hecka poor but like little boys and girls play with ordinary things because they have nothing else you know? and we might like overlook something as not a toy or fun but to them it is..so yeah or like a ball..like basketball etc. necesities: clothes, shoes, etc |

Clothes, shoes, i don't know. just regular hygiene things. or maybe just a regular toy to play with, such as a ball or some sort of robot. haha, i don't know. i'm just thinking of what 12 year old boys like.

Clothes and shoes are a must. Over in Peru it's really hard for parents to buy that for their children. Also do you know if he goes to school? Not many kids over there have that opportunity, but if you can find out and if he does, then get him some school supplies too.

I'd say buy hygenic items or maybe a blanket. A nice warm, blanket. If Juan lives in the Andes, he'd be really cold.

What is with all you guys and iPods and Game Boy Advances? Do you really think a poor boy in Peru needs iPods and Game Boys? HONESTLY.
What the sensible person would get is shoes, clothes, blankets, food, vitamins, toiletry, and maybe to start a fund for a fresh water well. No person can enjoy life without steady, strong surroundings. Just like no civilization was able to build and expand their country's lifestyle without a good foundation with their basic needs. What good would Juan get from a bunch of toys that require BATTERIES? Consider the fact that maybe he doesn't even have money to buy food, let alone batteries. |
