Those things can be bought locally, probably even cheaper.
Many people buy clothing from the 'guaguas' (bajate boutiques) in good quality and very reasonable prices, no need to bring them wasting jet fuel.
I prefer to take benefactors to some very poor barrio people and buy a bag of rice, milk powder, salami, whatever at a local 'colmado'.
Thus the visitors meet the families and get some insight into the living conditions and the real needs.
