I love getting snail mail and care packages. A little bit of home helps volunteers feel connected to their own culture. If you feel inclined to send me a little bit of US love, here are some ideas of things that will either be useful or comforting to me in my little house in the Kops. Thank you in advance for your generosity!
Letters
Books
Magazines
CDs
Candy
Pictures
Movies
Tips:
+ Mail takes about 3 weeks to get to me.
+ The US Postal Service has flat rate boxes that don’t charge based on weight.
+ Botswana does not use zip codes, so don’t let the post give you a hard time.
