There are literally thousands of cruising sailboats voyaging to the most remote areas of the globe at any given time. There are also thousands of schools that do not have even the most basic supplies for their teachers and students to work with. Distribution of donated items through commercial shipping is difficult and costly. As members of the far-flung cruising community we can provide this service for free and it builds goodwill between nations at a personal level. If you plan on taking some items of you own to donate let us know about it on the Message Board.
