Care Package Ideas
For everyone back home who wanted ideas of stuff to send me. Here is a list of ideas.
Care Package Ideas:
Spices – commonly used American spices. Oregano, Italian seasoning, etc.
Reef or Teva flip flops size 8 1/2
Candy that wont melt under extreme heat
Granola bars
Any good DVDs (without the case, just put in something else. Cases take up too much space)
CDs mixes of anything good/new
Magazines
Books
Easy to make meals (like things you only add water to or basic ingredients to)
Gravy mixes
Berts bees anything- esp; chap stick
Postcards of any places you visit (but send them inside an envelope because it might end up on the postman’s wall if sent as a postcard)
Drink mixes – Raspberry and Peach are my favorite
Echinacea
Vacuum packs of ground coffee – the square ones that don’t weight that much
Seeds
But send in a paded envelope or I might never get it or I might ave to pay a lot of duty on this end. Boxes cost more.

Hey, Alia
Thanks for the list. I would ask that if someone sends something on the list, let the rest of us know, so she doesn't get 15 pairs of flipflops!! I enjoy reading your updates, Alia. XXX Mom
Hi Alia,
Happy New Year! I finally read your blog and while it seems like quite an adventure I'm sure you have some days when you're very homesick. I remember when Lori & I lived in Switzerland for 6 months -- we loved it but there are those moments, and of course we were in Switzerland, not Togo (quite different I'm sure). I would love to send you a care package but not sure if this list is up to date or maybe you could let me know some things that you really want/need at this point. Did you get our Christmas card? I hope so - Lori gave me your address. Thanks and hang in there. Hugs, Lynn
