Today we spent about an hour cutting paper bills. 5 pesos, 10 pesos, 20 pesos, up to a 100 pesos. And, while doing it, I couldn't stop hoping that the money could somehow become real. However, the truth is that real money is very hard to get. So, for now, all we can really give the CODENI kids is the illusion of money. The illusion of having it, and then spending it on clothes that were actually donated. And, yet again, the simple illusion is more than what other kids can get.
