I was thrilled to find the reference to our charity on your website. Thank you! First of all - Therese and Jeff - best of luck with your upcoming trip! I took a year off of "corporate america" to travel the world solo. It was a life changing and eye-opening experience. Thank you for spreading the word about CharityBegins.org. We have found that most travelers heading to developing nations are more than willing to carry necessities (school supplies, shoes, clothing, etc.) with them but simply don't have the time to plan it and research local charities. That's where Charity Begins comes into play. We do the research, provide the necessities, and take care of all of the footwork. People can help in four ways: - Donating gently used clothing, shoes, toys or school supplies - Donating luggage - Taking an extra piece of luggage with them to a developing nation - Providing us with contacts/charities in developing countries Please keep us in mind as you travel. Perhaps you will volunteer somewhere or run across a charity you'd like to help out with a delivery. I'll gladly add them to our data-base. Also, if you need any travel guidance in Southeast Asia please let me know. Safe travels. Thank you again. Jennifer Co-founder CharityBegins.org jmahran@charitybegins.org Hi,

I hadn't thought of that. <br/><br/>Among the things the organization seems to regularly have transported are shoes, children's books, school supplies, toiletries, and baby kits. Interesting analogy.
