Assignment #9: If I Had $100

If I had $100 to spend on ethical gifts, I would buy from Plan Canada, World Vision, and Oxfam, because these organizations offer useful gifts that will help families in need. From World Vision, I would buy 5 fruit trees for $30.00 and 2 rabbits for $35.00. The purpose of 5 fruit trees is to give a family fruit to sell and eat, and I would buy this so the family wont starve and can get some money to buy useful items. The purpose of  2 rabbits is for food and money because rabbits can reproduce quickly, and I would buy this so a family can have more food and money, and a nice pet to make them happy. From Plan Canada, I would buy 3 baby chicks for $15.00. The purpose of 3 baby chicks is that they can be eaten or sold, and they will also lay eggs that can also be eaten or sold, and I would buy this because it would provide a family with more food and money to help them survive. Finally, I would buy mosquito nets for $20.00 from Oxfam. The purpose of mosquito nets is to help prevent people from getting an illness called malaria from mosquitoes that can kill people, and I would buy this so less people will catch malaria. Those are the ethical gifts I would buy if I had $100.
