You know the adage "every bit counts"? Well, yes, of course it does. But honestly one gets to a point where this is just.... unacceptable. Crepaway has offered a campaign that it dubs "share a meal of hope". So far so good. The meal is priced at USD 29. Again, no comment there. Now, Beit El Baraka is getting a full blown USD 1 out of every meal. Let me repeat, ONE buck from every 29. That would be 3.4%. Remember when I wrote about shopping with a conscience lately? (here).
Take this example - a man who owns a bakery has refused to take the price of 4 manakish from a girl when he knew she was displaced from the south. In the gloriously wonderful and efficient Matbakh Mariam (here) father Hani Tawk forbids any of the people working there and donating their time and energy to even ask the name of the people being served lest they think they are not welcome to eat for free.
So yes, one Dollar is lovely, but please Crepaway, this is insulting.
