Ethical Gift Giving

Hi it's me kaitlin and we are doing a project on Ethical gift giving we get 100 dollers to buy stuff for a developing country. Not for real but I wish we could all have 100 dollars. The organization that I picked to buy my gifts from is Oxfam. I chose Oxfam because it had low prices and I could get alot more for less.
       My first gift that I would give is a chicken for $15 because the chicken can lay eggs that can provide people with food. I would give them one chicken because if they don't have food for themseves then why would they have food for their animals.
   The second gift I would give is a mosquito net for $20. They can sleep under the net without thinking about the diseeases that they can get from a mosquito.
    The third gift I would give is to plant 50 trees. That would be $35. I would give them 50 trees because they can use it for shade food and to build stuff.
     My fourth gift that I would give would be safe water. I would give them safe water to drink so they dont get sick from dirty water and so they have clean water to shower in.
     The last gift I would give is 3 bags of seeds for $12. I would give them this so that they can plant trees for food and shelter.
   All together it came to $104. I went over the limit a little bit but thats ok. Comment please bye.
