Through a considerable amount of donations, we were able to gather enough school supplies (paper, pens, pencils, crayons, etc.) for the school to fill approximately 22 suitcases. If you break this down to lbs. we are allowed 50 lbs. per suitcase (which we tried to achieve) so we have approximately 1100 lbs of supplies for the school. The team members are allowed 2 suitcases and one carry on, so one suitcase is for their personnel belongings and the other is the suitcase full of supplies. This is such a wonderful way to get these supplies down to the DR considering shipping 1100 lbs worth of supplies would've cost a fortune.
Thanks to all for the donations, the school now has a good stock of supplies for the upcoming school year. Let's pray that no one dares to open some of these suitcases, it could be a disaster.
