FEEL LIKE A STAR!***** May 12, 2007 23 out of 24 found this review helpful
"Throughout my time as a volunteer, I have gotten to travel to 7 countries around the world (Guatemala, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Chad, Lesotho, Tanzania, and Honduras) that are all receiving food aid from WFP. The people I have met during my travels struggle each day to obtain one of the most basic human needs--food. It breaks my heart to think that every 5 seconds a child dies needlessly of hunger and malnutrition."
When I read what Lauren Bush said, my immediate thought was that I could provide at least one hungry child with food for one year by purchasing this bag. I'm a senior citizen living on a fixed income. By lowering my food expenses $10 for six weeks I purchased this bag (free shipping from Amazon). I, now, use this bag to purchase my weekly groceries. Not only am I feeding one child for a year, I also am doing my small part for the environment by not using the plastic/paper containers.
Thank you! ...Ann Forster, Foxborough, MA
love the bag! April 25, 2007 15 out of 18 found this review helpful
Read about the bag in Marie Claire mag. What a great cause and the bag is awesome. It's so big and I am a mom, so little bags and purse days are over. I e-mailed this info to a list of friends and four of them purchased it! It's sturdy and large and stylish. I love it and it gives me the chance when people ask about it, to share the story and pass along the order info!
Too little to cause! December 27, 2007 15 out of 24 found this review helpful
I was very disappointed that only $20.00 goes to feed the kids! I was very disappointed that the bags smelled terrible! I was very disappointed that when I emailed Customer Service to ask if they knew anything that would help with the odor, they sent me more stinky bags! And then they told me I would have to return the first ones or I would be charged for all of them! Guess it takes too long to actually read customers questions!
why not just donate the whole $60 to a charity instead???? April 11, 2008 13 out of 14 found this review helpful
Why spend $60 for something when only $20 is going to the charity? Hey, if it's a good bag and worth $60 then buy it, but don't fool yourself that you're doing some great deed by giving $40 to a company who is making a cheap burlap bag. There are so many charities out there where you can donate the $60 to and that would really be making a difference. It's always a good idea to check out the actual amount from the purchase the company is donating to a cause.
They advertise this bag as "$20 a year can transform a child's life and provide the tools for a lifetime of self-reliance." so why not just help out THREE kids and send the $60 directly to the organization? The company should be doing the right thing and donating 100% to the charity but it's often more about the hype than anything else.
Wonderful Bag : ) April 22, 2007 10 out of 11 found this review helpful
I highly reccommend this bag for anyone! It is a big tote, which is perfect for a college campus, the airport, the beach... really for any purpose. It is reversable and I was very suprised at how durable it is (great quality). When people compliment the bag it allows an opportunity to share its cause- which in the end is the most important part.
