CARE PACKAGES!

Some of you have inquired on how to send us a package and what we need while we are in Madagascar. I understand more fully now after arriving in Madagascar why these packages are so wonderful!

Here are some things to consider if you are thinking about sending a package. The most cost efficient way to send something is by using the flat rate boxes from your local post office.  It is a bit expensive so grab a friend, family member, small group, or church to go in with you, we have been told it is approx $55 to send the large box, and that it takes anywhere from 2-8 weeks to get here. When you are asked to declare the value of items in the package on the customs form, please put Garage sale prices. They determine what we pay to pick up the package off of that number.

Below is a list of things that we thought we would be able to get here, but have not been able to.
(people have asked us for detailed lists, so please know that we would be happy with anything and surprises are great, but we added detail for those who have asked)

Crystal Light
Dental Floss
Shampoo- Any kind is better than what you can get here!
Conditioner- Any kind
Lotion

Chapstick ( Vanilla Mint is Holly's favorite, but I think you can only find it at wal-greens)

Velveeta or imitation cheese that comes in the block to melt down( This is obviously a Kurtis Request:)
