- Food
- Granola bars - especially with peanut butter and chocolate
- Velveeta Mac and Cheese
- Trail mix or nuts (but don't bother sending just peanuts as they are widely available in Uganda)
- Turkey jerky
- Chicken and salmon packets
- Crackers/snacks - Wheat Thins, Triscuits, Goldfish, rice cakes, Sun Chips, etc.
- Peanut butter (the peanut butter here is not nearly as good as American peanut butter)
- Orbit Sweet Mint gum
- Candy, cookies, etc. - Reese's Pieces is probably the best thing ever, but anything sweet will do :)
- Scented tea candles
- Magazines
- TIME, pop culture, women's magazines, horses, photography, etc.
- Dog treats for Kibo
- Hair mousse
- Brown and black thin hair ties
- Eye shadow - browns are my favorite
- Books
- Strength in What Remains by Tracy Kidder
- The Impenetrable Forest: My Gorilla Years in Uganda by Thor Hanson
- The White Man's Burden by William Easterly
Wish List
I'll try to keep a current list of care package items I would love to receive - please check here before sending (for instance, if I request a certain book and someone else sends it, I will try to remove it from the list ASAP).
