I am posting this for a Canadian friend who has formed a foundation, Los Padrino del Norte, which raises money in Canada to purchase toys for children in the Dominican Republic.
So that more of the money that the foundation raises can be spent for toys, it is looking for a wholesaler in the DR from who it can buy the toys, thus saving the considerable expense of shipping them to the DR.
This past Christmas, the foundation distributed toys worth $6,800 Canadian, paid $1743 Canadian to ship them to the DR, and RD$6559 to customs.
The foundation's goal for Christmas 2003 is to raise $15,000 Canadian, and it hopes that most, if not all of the money can be used to purchase toys that wholesale in the RD$50-$60 range.
Any suggestions you can give the foundation on who they might contact in the DR will be appreciated.
