Trash to Treasures : Davao Barter Community




In the midst of this COVID19 pandemic our community found a way to help people who wants to barter things that can still be utilize by other people in exchange of things they better need of and extending help in communities against real life situations and restrictions.One man’s trash could be another man’s treasure indeed.The rise of barter community started through online group in facebook in which one of the policy is to exchange only with out money involved. It is a great way to declutter things and swap into our preffer goods or items , in that way those family who are curently lost a job due to COVID may trade their available posession to something that can generate an income or something that they can eat to survive daily life.

Imagine a world without cash or credit cards. You'd barter to get what you need and want.Barter/Trade system also implied by finding joy on small things of life rather than the value of money and luxury items.Giving and receiving is not always based on the value of items but the thought behind that act.In times of crisis people tend to stretch their budget and look for ways like bartering helps getting the essentials with the things they do not need anymore.
