Ghost Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 cute. I was never into Barbie.. or dolls in general but when I went to Haiti on my first mission trip there took luggage full of matchbook cars & Barbies.. the kids LOVED them. Many had never had a toy. My friends all pitched in for the toy donations. I wore all of my clothes ... like 25 outfits... waddled like a duck. Hardly fit into seat. My baggage was full of stuffies, watches, toys, cosmetics etc for the people. I gave all the clothes away & came back with one suitcase filled with the duffle bags that had the goodies. well, I went way off topic, but the article brought back that memory.
