I just send an EG of $100 to one of my girls in the Dominican Republic. She is turning 19 and will soon graduate from the program. I just want to hear from you, I have no idea, how many items is she going to be able to buy with that money. Do you have an idea?

My girls in the DR, who are much younger than yours, have bought a number of clothing and food items with $100. Remember that CI deducts 10% to cover its own expenses, except when it’s an education EG. Your youth may also decide to make a single bigger purchase.

Also, if you can afford it, maybe a bit more contribution to give her a better boost out of the program. That will be what I do when I have a child graduate.

That is a very good suggestion! I sure will do something about it!

When I gave my kid in the DR an EG, she bought a large variety of clothing and shoes as well as several food items.  It looks like $100 goes pretty far there.
