I have finally found out where all the clothes go that the Goodwills can't sell.
Yesterday I hung out all day with Karina & Jonathon Rameriz. They're really close friends with Jose and they have their own business of import/export. They buy used clothing, shoes, toys, etc from Goodwills and Salvation Armys and then sell then to people in Bolivia. The people in Bolivia are very poor and buy the stuff like hot cakes. But, the won't buy the high heels because the mountains are so hilly.
I helped Karina out with some business today because she need to talk to an American guy in NC & I did the talking/negotiating for her. She wants me to help her out when I get back to the US. She needs someone to find new suppliers, check the quality of the shipments, and negotiate prices. Pretty cool..... This kind of job is down a lot over the phone and threw e-mail and involves some traveling. Who knows, but it is pretty cool that I got a job offer and I haven't even graduated yet.
This picture is of the high-heels that they throw away because Bolivian people won't buy them.
