Package List

To everyone who has sent me a care package, thank you so much. Its wonderfully uplifting. Here is a list of things that I could always use:

Crystal Light (helps cover the taste of bleach)

Pasta sauce packets

Dried fruit (cranberries, raisins, pomegranate)

Trail mix (especially ones with a lot of nuts)


Walnuts, pecans, almonds

Tuna or chicken packets (the plastic saches are easier than the metal cans)


Freeze dried veggies (most of the time onion is my ony veggie and it doesn't really count)


Beef jerky


Velveta

Peanut Butter (The stuff available here is not even similar I like smooth and crunchy)



Grape jelly (for pb and j)

Deoderant (Lady Speed Stick . . . Togolese don’t wear any so it’s impossible to find)

Anti-bacterial (aka Purell)

Hand wipes (a wonderful thing to have on hand in Africa)

Disposable razors

Maple syrup 

Candy (hard candy or chocolate that has a hard shell like M&Ms)



Oreos



Vanilla extract (for baking at the maison we have a toaster oven)

Magazines (It’s great to get a glimpse of America) 


Pens (the pens here are poor quality and eally hard to write with. Plus it makes a gret gift for good students. They love love love American things even if its something small like a bic pen).

Letters!

Again, thank you to everyone who thinks of me out here in Togo. I can feel the love
