Answer 1

You Can contact Casa Esperanza...The Contact name is Roxana.   Sorry but you ill have to seach for the number.

Answer 2

Don't bother sending it by mail.Like Fushia said,the postal system is not too reliable.Thanks for being concerned about our poor,it just brought a tear to my eyes.

Answer 3

Why not use one of the charity organizations already in place to help the indeginous people?  There is the Red Cross, Catholic relief and many other denominations of churches that all have personal on the ground in remote areas all over the country.  If you are asking about mailing used clothing to the country...it depends...depends on the preceived worth and the precieved need of the person that's tempted to take the items.

Here are some links for you to take a look at

Answer 4

Thanks for your interest in our poor people. Most visitors are mainly interested in our beaches and highrises. Our postal service is 100 years behind so I would not recommend it at all.  The safest way is DHL but it will not be cheap. Furthermore, through social services over the years I assure you clothing is not the major problem but food.

I strongly recommend you contact Nutre Hogar at www.nutrehogar.org.  This recognized organization is dedicated to support undernourished kids.  

God Bless You
