It has come to my attention that many of you do not know how to send a package to Africa....and with good reason, cause how often do you get the chance to send of....bucket list item for anyone? cause i can help with that...But back to my point, here is a tip that will save you money: a padded envelope is a cheaper and easier to send for everyone. We in Ghana have to pay for the WONDERFUL packages you all send us, but padded envelope is free for us...Joy!!! Also, make sure to put AIRMAIL or better yet, put Donations on the box/envelope cause than they think its nothing important in there...
There are no words to describe the joy of a peace corps volunteer when they receive a package from home, as well as those around him, because if i have learned on thing, its that volunteers took the lessons from kindergarten to heart about sharing. SO please don't forget about us, and now that you no longer have the excuse of "its too expensive", Send away...and wait to hear the praise from all of us over here in Africa.
