Well, it’s been a slow couple of weeks with very few offers to speak of. Fortunately, Mali was able to trade a used vacuum cleaner for a relatively new twin bed with a member of the local Israeli support community, who have been incredibly helpful throughout this entire process.
Otherwise, it would seem the project is suffering from the same “spring fever” affecting so many of the students at this time of year, which is a shame given some of the high-end items currently available for trade. I’m guessing folks are spending less time on their computers, and more time outside enjoying the beautiful weather – not sure I can blame them! Hopefully, the pace will pick up in the near future, especially as we approach our deadline in late April.
Over the coming weeks, we will be packaging several trade items together in attempt to identify and procure the services of a local landscaping company willing to help build a garden on the Youville premises in exchange for a single trade item, so please keep the offers coming in!
Thanks again for all the support thus far….
The trading team
