Smiles such as the one in the last photo are all the motivation I need to keep volunteering when I am in Sosua. Try it, it feels good.

You're right.
That smile on her face was priceless, and she kept it on the whole time we were there.
BTW: I just drove them out.
They were doing the giving.
Nice folks, big hearts.

The easiest way to do this is to stop at a local thrift shop, a garage sale, ask friends and family for clothes. Size does not matter. Pack them in a heavy duty cardboard box taped securely shut. Check with airline first as some airlines have certain restrictions on cardboard boxes. The advantage of the cardboard box is no empty luggage to haul back home. You would be surprised how many used clothes a $50 bill can buy.
For those that did not know but when you put clothing in the metal bins at the supermarket they get sold by the pound as rags.

And the bonus is, that it's such a blast going out and meeting some nice down to earth country folks.
They're so appreciative.
Some of the adventures in this thread are a total blast for a tourist or an expat, but no more fun than this one.

Cameras and adventures
I'm not much of a camera fan, and I'm lucky that I had enough pix to make this thread.
I will make a point of trying to remember to bring it along as much as I can from now on, and while we're on the subject, I'm told that we're doing our next BBQ on top of Isabela de Tores, overlooking Puerto Plata in the botanical gardens.
The ride up there with the 4 X 4's should be fun, and the air is always nice and cool up there, and really conducive to catching a siesta after stuffing our faces with yummy foods.
