Care packages
- Please don't feel obligated to send anything, a few people have asked of some things I've been missing from home, so here are a few things that would be amazing to receive on monthly mail run:
- letters! pictures, newspaper clippings from home, funny stories or articles, magazines
- granola bars, cliff bars, pop tarts, protein bars, nutrigrain bars - these are great when I'm biking in the "bush"
- cheese- any kind that would send well like powered alfredo mix
- dried fruit- apples, berries, oh man, anything!
- beef jerkey, chicken or tuna packets - anything protein, also those 6-pack crackers- like cream cheese and chives, etc
- your thoughts and prayers!
- I hear padded envelopes may be slightly cheaper than boxes, also try to send AIR MAIL or it could take 4-6 months to get here. Lastly, just put something generic like "non perishable gifts" with a value under $50 on the declaration form. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE SUPPORT!

Hi Maggie, thought I'd give you a heads up that my boss is going to make contact with the woman who helps bring solar powered cooking to countries in need. Her name is Michaela Borghese, and I found this article about her when I searched her name on Google. http://globalservice.change.org/blog?guest_blogger_id=261
From what I understand, women generally have to gather firewood to cook every day. And this oven means they don't have need wood so they have time to do other things, maybe take a break from work! Anyway, I'll be in touch soon. I'm giving her your email address, MamboMaggie! :-)
Have fun with Mom and sis. Love you loads!!
Lynne
