Joy Packs

What would it cost to fill a backpack with joy and hand deliver it to the kids of Terazas, Tijuana, Mexico? That is the question I am currently sorting through.
World Vision does it for kids in Canada for $25. I am going to aim for that price, or slightly less than that.
So far, I have found a potential backpack to use, Mountain Equipment Co-Op’s Pika Plus rings it at $12.oo, but they are willing to give 10% off of a bulk purchase (any number over 10). It’s also a great little bag that takes a beating, from what I’ve heard and seen (both are important for where these are headed!). I remember seeing these bags kicking around University campuses back in the day. I don’t know about you, but if I am giving a gift, I want it to be usable and durable. I also trust MEC’s ethical stance, which is essential from where I stand. No point giving children in Mexico products that were built in Mexico or elsewhere using slave labour or unfair employment.
So, a slick pack for 10.80 per unit, and free shipping on orders over 150 dollars.
That leaves roughly half the price to fill the bag.
