-I need to carry anything about 2km by foot, then about 55km bycar, so please don't send anything awkwardly big or heavy. -Write "religious materials" or bible verses on packages -Make sure to write "air mail" so it isn't sent by boat... -Include a contents list (and keep photocopies/scans of letters) so I know if I got everything or if it is lost in the mail you didn't waste all that time on a letter that is never to be seen again -Never claim value of things sent...it will just make them more likely to be stolen -The magic limit is 4 pounds -Please Please Please bag or tape or protect anything that might be messy or might be ruined by getting wet (hey...it's the African mail system, it might sit in a puddle)
Things To Send Me (if you are feeling so generous!)
