QUOTE(sunissed14127 @ Nov 11 2004, 5:41 PM) i'm im prayer group at school,and my teacher adopted a poor family that lives alllll the way in peru for x-mas. well i got put in the group with a 12 yr. old boy named Juan.have any ideas on what i can get him? keep in mind that they speak spanish and they are poor so they probably dont have electronics to play movies or cd's n stuff. Get them an AK-47. Those are in high demand in that part of the world. |

well, at church, we're covering shoeboxes with wrapping paper and filling it with stuff and sending them to 3rd world countries. oh and we're writing whether it's for a boy or girl and age group.
in mine i put things such as flip-flops, toothbrushes, toothpaste, school supplies, slinky, barbie doll, hair scrunchies, brush, mirror, paper, notepads, 'sanitary items'... i think thats good, or just give them some money in a card..? whatever it is, get them stuff they need first, before you get into toys, etc.. |

That's sweet of you for doing that. I used to do it when I was in Private School. I'd go with the others and do a fund raiser then buy him clothes. That would be nice. <3

I say clothes, balls to play with?
I don't think you should send him stuff that sends him the idea like.. 'America's so great, look what WE have and YOU don't!'. I think you shouldn't try to impress anyone, just think of things that would really help Juan out. |

Well, if he sees it.. he'll want to move here more, and then be depressed because he sees how great new york is and what peru isnt. |
