I enjoy traveling with groups that focus on textiles, so I take lots of reading glasses that can be distributed to villages where they are put to use by people doing intricate embroidery, weaving, etc. The glasses are very much appreciated.

On a trip to South Africa in August ’13, two tour mates had knit a large number of whimsical finger puppets, which they gave away to children we met.
