He had 3 suitcases full of school supplies...pens, pencils, crayons, calculators note books, candy, etc.
(As a sideline we attended the DPT cocktail reception the next evening where Robert showed us pictures he had taken with his iPad...this school had next to nothing yet the children were happy and enthusiastic! The students and staff were extremely grateful and we felt very humbled and proud that we had at least contributed. We had only seen this type of poverty in Cuba.)
