Hi,
I was given a small Peruvian purse as a gift on which is written:
Mit dem Kauf dieses Produktes unterstutzen Sie kleine Handwerksfamilien in Peru
I do not know German, though I have a vague idea what 'Mit dem Kauf dieses Produktes' and kleine Handwerksfamilien in Peru mean' mean. So, I was wondering if someone could translate this sentence for me, please.
