'Cause I'm out on the club and I'm sipping that bub, and you're not gonna reach my telephone!
I just realized i had plenty of missed calls from Vifac over the past few weeks. I feel kind of guilty because they needed my help and wanted me to make a list of things that the government had given them to help the community center. Vifac received 400 items such as TV's, Home theaters, Ipods, cameras, mobiles, laptops, knives, videogames, etc.. from the government and Vifac has been selling these items for half the price they're worth and they get to keep the money to help themselves out. I'm still selling some of this items but i haven't been so lucky.
Once More, With Feeling.
This is kind of one of the last posts for this blog, but it is definitely not the last time i help at Vifac. Over the past few weeks I've been helping down at the garage sale, near Abastos. It is really a shocking experience because I've always been used to buying expensive clothes and stuff, but when I started going there I realized there were plenty of people who have to buy second-hand clothes or second-hand anything because they don't have the money to pay up for brand new things. This experience is kind of really important to me because now I see that not everybody has had the same opportunities and that when I'm complaining about not being able to buy a cd/dvd/videogame/clothes/you-name-it, there's people out there who don't have any money to even buy food. The prices are really different, I mean the regular price for a T-shirt is what $300? and there are t-shirts down at the garage sale being sold for only $20. Even though all of us are living in the same city, we don't realize or we don't see beyond our tiny little world that's made up by family and friends. We think the way we're living is the way everyone is living but that is completely false.
