Care Package Wish List

Before we left the U.S. a lot of folks had asked us what they could send us. So, we put together this "wish list"...

- Clif or other protein bars
- MRE's (Wal-Mart has some for about $5), Mac n' Cheese and anything else that only needs hot water
- CHOCOLATE and any fruity candy (like hot tamales, jelly beans, skittles)
- TJ's trail mix and goodies (salmon jerky, cafe rio candies, dried berries, pretzels, etc.)
- awesome instant coffee and teas
- packages of tuna or salmon
- packets of condiments from fast food restaurants (surprise us!)
- sauce packets
- your old magazines
- spices (garlic powder, ground pepper, curry, cumin, etc.)
- electrolyte powder, Gu packets, hot chocolate powder or powdered soymilk
- bungee cords
- basic math workbooks, coloring books, crayons/markers/pencils for our neighbor kids to use when they visit our house
- anything solar-powered


I'm overdue for an update on our adventures here. I hope to post one next week when we go to Lusaka, where I can go to an internet cafe. During training, we have been living in a village setting with a wonderful host family just outside of Chongwe (about 30 minutes driving from Lusaka). Since I haven't come across any internet cafes here, I have internet access only through my "Zam-phone" (Zambian cell phone)- which has been a treat- but typing is slow going :)
