I’ve had a number of people ask me to post of a list of things I would like in care packages. If you don’t want to send me a care package, I completely understand – I love phone calls, letters, photos, emails, and facebook messages too. But if you do want to go out of your way – it’s always appreciated, and it makes my week! ;)
Here are some ideas (honestly, be creative – I love surprises!)
Pictures!!! I’m creating photo boards for my house, so it will feel like home.
Letters (best thing EVER)
Flip Flops
Lotion & other smell good stuff, make up, nail polish & remover
Books (I love bestsellers, Sudoku, and other puzzle books)
Markers, Paper, Pens, Stickers
Deck of Cards
DVDs (anything and everything – except things that will scare me when I’m watching them by myself…New releases/Disney)
Travel games
Food
- Gummies & Candy
- Spices
- Beef jerky
- Dried fruit & nuts
- Tuna/chicken/other cooked meat packages
- Soup mixes
- Crystal light/drink mixes
- Baking mixes
- Velveeta
- Peanut M&Ms
- Trail Mix
- Gum
- Things to make smores
- ANYTHING!!! (except rice, beans, or pasta…i.e. starches)
Anything that reminds me of home…I’m really not picky – it makes me happy that anyone even loves me enough to send me one. XOXO!

I am so proud of you! Can't wait to read more... xoxoxo
Hey Kira!!! I just read everything in your blog (I hadnt realized you'd gotten a chance to write so much!!) and it's really great to hear from you and read about your experiences. I can totally relate to a lot of it-- especially the "oh yeah, we're halfway aroiund the world" moments I had in China, and lifestyle/culture adjustments-- I took bucket baths in Panama too and wasn't supposed to wear shorts or skirts above knee length! Oh and the things you start to appreciate that you never thought you would before... I just wanted to let you know, you are soo brave and I can't wait to hear more. :-) Stay well. <3 Sarah

I'm totally going to send you some stuff! Are you still in Africa? It's so great that you're doing all this stuff to help people in need. I'm only eleven, but me and my friend are doing a bake sale to help send you stuff!
