I volunteered to accompany Maarten's class to the Benfica Craft Market
for a field trip.
They are learning about Money and Markets at school right now so this was good
way to experience how it works.
Each child brought 1000 Kwanza (= $ 10.00) and they had to try to bargain and
buy as much as they could.
They were divided in small groups and had to fill in a form with questions on it
like: How much did the item cost? What is it made out of? Where was it made?
How much did it cost the vendor to make it? How much profit did he make? How
many does the vendor sale each day? How much money does the vendor make each
day?
The kids enjoyed shopping very much and they even made some good deals by
bargaining!
