The Communal Wardrobe

Since mid 2007 the "Communal Wardrobe Proyect" is taking place.

Pinguelas reciebes donations of used clothes and shoes.
When the women from Puerto Azara were asked about which would be the best way to distribute these donations, they decided that they could set up a Communal Wardrobe that sold the clothes at very low prices. The money obtained from the sales would be distributed as following: a part for the woman in charge of it, and the other one would be destinated to a found with which other mini-proyects would be financed.
We consulted to the persons and organizations that had made the donations, and they agreed with the proyect.
With the sales from the donations recieved throughout 2007, since the proyect began to function, 200 pesos were collected. $100 were for the woman in which house, for the moment, the Proyect is working, and the other $100, were destined to the Christmass Festivity, for the buying of ingredients for the "empanadas" that were shared by the whole community during the Living Nativity.

To continue with this Proyect we need:
  • Clothes, shoes, coats, bedcloathes, towels, etc.
  • A proper wardrobe or similar to keep the clothes.
  • A sewing machine to make repairs.
THANK YOU!!!
