A good gift for someone going to South America?

What's a good bon voyage gift for a 65-year-old man who's headed to Guatemala? He's planning to open a school for people with autism. We're giving him money for his project but we'd like a personal gift as well, something that would be useful. He'll be living in both places.

He's retiring after 30 years as a live-in caretaker to 7 men with autism. No souvenirs! He has a suitcase full of dvd movies and slideshows of his guys. They are all artists and builders.

    He might like new luggage, or a gift card for a mailing center that would ship his stuff back and forth.

    Get him a nice hat or visor.

    Or you could be kinda corny and give him a spiffy pen and tell him to write you :)
