care package possibilities

Sorry about not posting any photos yet... the internet connections in Swaziland are dial-up and we rarely even get online at all. We're working on it...

Anyway, We’ve been compiling a list of possible “care package” items. Many of you have been kind enough to inquire about what we’d like to receive in the mail, so here’s a list of ideas.

Real coffee (ground, as we have no grinder)

Splenda

Any DVDs (movies, shows, whatever)

Cds full of music- and blank ones are good too

multi-vitamins

a world map

anything at all from Trader Joe’s— we miss it!

Crystal Light packets

Emergen-C

Travel mugs for coffee/tea

Tom’s of Maine toothpaste

Febreeze (a little goes a long ways here)

US magazines—Harpers, Atlantic Monthly, whatever’s interesting and current.

Books are always great to get, but their weight makes them spendy to ship.

Crossword puzzles

Pictures

This is just a wish list. Don’t feel obligated to send stuff—having sent ourselves a few packages, we know what it costs. We’re quite happy to get a letter or just to see messages in our email inboxes from time to time, and we thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers for us. We’re happy and healthy-- Siyajabula kuba eSwatini! (we are happy to be in Swaziland).
