Care package suggestions:

Note:  Padded envelopes take 2 to 3 weeks, much shorter time than boxes do.  They also cost me less in customs pick-up fees.

Did I get your package?  I write thank you notes for every package I receive, so if you haven’t gotten a thank you note, it hasn’t arrived.

	Photos of you and your kids
	Prayers for health/patience/fortitude
	Contributions to fund several small projects (see Fundraising page)
	Contributions to the Taabo Library ...More information coming in late summer, 2002...

 

Books:   Anne Lamott's latest book (Traveling Mercies) Best sellers, Oprah books, Mysteries, Classics

 

Non-Perishables: Granola bars or other snack bars m&m's - plain or peanuts! Crackers - Ritz or Club (might find a plastic container at the dollar store to protect them from crushing)   Dry cookie or bread mixes (tell me how much wet ingredients to add) Powdered drink mixes like Crystal Lite iced tea Candy, gum, other fun stuff Mac and cheese  Salsa

 

Survival Gear: AA or D batteries (the ones purchased in CDI do not last very long)   Sweater shaver  Stationery Small binder clips (not stolen from OC!) Balloons Toothpaste Q-Tips Hair conditioner Current music or a mix of favorite music.  I'm getting tired of the 40 CDs I brought with me!  CD or cassette is fine... I have a cassette player now, so if you would rather record a letter and send it, that's great too!

I have PLENTY of the following, so please do not send anymore: lotion, powder, hairspray, shampoo, hand sanitizer, chapstick.
