Help Us Make A Difference
About Partnership
Luxury Link is proud to partner with Pack for a Purpose, an organization connecting travelers with communities in need in the places they visit, one vacation at a time.
What Is Pack For A Purpose?
Founded by husband and wife, Scott and Rebecca Rothney, Pack for a Purpose is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping travelers make an impact in the communities they visit.
Avid travelers, the Rothneys saw amazing sites around the world but too often also saw sincere need in surrounding communities.
Schools with few basic supplies. Orphanages where children used blown up plastic bags as mock soccer balls. They wanted to help. Sound familiar?
Inspired, they created a vision: they could learn what communities specifically need and help travelers to that region meet those needs in a simple act-by telling them what to bring.
And it doesn't take much. By simply leaving that extra pair of shoes at home and packing 4 deflated soccer balls or 400 pencils instead,
you can make a big impact on the lives of children in the destinations you visit.

How To Pack
Before You Pack
Check with your airline and travel agent to determine the current luggage allowance to your destination.
School Supplies
The following new items should be taken out of their original packaging and placed in the lightest possible plastic or fabric resealable bags:
pens, pencils, erasers, individual pencil sharpeners, solar calculators, protractors and colored pencils.
The following items should be kept in their original packaging to prevent breakage: crayons, chalk, plastic and wooden rulers should be wrapped in bubble wrap to prevent breakage. Games, such as Scrabble®, Connect Four®, Dominoes® and Bananagrams® should be left in their original packages.
Medical Supplies
Any medicines that you bring should have an expiration date at least 8 months after the time you are bringing them.
Expensive items such as stethoscopes, blood pressure cuffs etc. should be put in plastic or fabric resealable bags and packed in your carry-on luggage.
The following new items should be taken out of their original packaging and placed in the lightest possible plastic or fabric resealable bags: Band-Aids, bandages and any other items where the weight would be reduced by eliminating the original packaging.
Soccer Balls
Soccer balls should be deflated by moistening an inflation needle and carefully inserting it into the valve. After the needle is inserted,
gently apply pressure to the ball until the ball is deflated. Remove the needle and tape it to the deflated ball. The deflated balls can be
stacked to save space or soft items such as socks can be position in the cavaties. Each deflated soccer ball will weigh about 1lb. (.45kg).
For your convenience, pack all items so they can be easily located within your luggage and dropped off when you arrive at your destination.
