Care Package Tips
· FLAT RATE BOXES from Post Office are cheapest or First-Class International via USPS; also talk to your Post Office-see what they suggest is cheapest
· Number or Date letters, letters can come in various order
· Generally takes 2-4 weeks for me to receive any mail (letters or packages)
· Label clearly “AIRMAIL/Par Avion”
· Write “PEACE CORPS VOLUNTEER”
· Don’t use packing peanuts or other filler, be creative send use items I want/need as filler
· Please don’t send anything irreplaceable or of amazing quality
· Be vague/general on customs forms
· Use Religious Symbols on package
· Put food in Ziploc bags or Tupperware so it doesn’t get ruined
· Something to always add: GUM (peppermint, fruity) every once in a while throw in a flash drive (hide the flash drive as much as possible, also add some music-any is good, I need some kids songs!, TV shows, or movies)
