a question about bringing school supplies

[smith744]

to give you an *idea*, something to think-about/consider,
to *demonstrate* the cost-benefit of making your purchases IN Jamaica, rather than bringing from foreign::::>>>>

this last trip,
2-weeks ago,
for myself, i purchased THREE pair of short-ankle-socks (usually for school children)::::>>>> cost::>> 3-pair @ Ja$150

these socks are WONDER-FULL..!!....
better than ANYthing i could/would find in-foreign.

they're strong, and well made
light weight, therefore they dry QUICKLY, which is VERY important (for Jamaica), because of the dampness, humidity, and other tropical wetness issues.

if/when you bring clothing thing-ys down there to give away, keep in mind that folks would prefer things that dry quickly on the cloths line::::: ideally things that will dry within 3-4 hours (or less).

last week,
my Lucea-host was complaining,
as he washed some very-NICE bed sheets that somebody *gave* him:::: hard to wash; to thick (e.g., high thread count); took long time to dry
