Sending A Care Package?

 

Care packages and letters are one of the simplest and most cherished thing to Peace Corps Volunteers. We relish in receiving packages and letters from home so that we still feel connected to the United States.

Sending these care packages or letters comes with many questions; What do I send? What can I send? What does the volunteer want? Well have no fear! If you are wanting to send a care package my way, I have prepared a list of things that I would love to receive from the states! However, if you want to send a care package, I do ask that you email me (tdoak08@su.edu) before doing so in-case there is something that I need, or do not need. If you want to get fancy and creative, you can do a "Themed Package". Again here is my mailing address:

If there are any questions about what things are, you can Google the items and see a picture. Everything can be found in Walmart, Target, or any grocery store. If you send a package, you will need to claim the items that you are sending. DO NOT go over $200 or else I will have to pay a very big fine on the package! Please also include a list of items that were sent inside the package in-case things are taken out. Thank you all so much if you do send a package or letter.  I promise that will not go wasted and will be cherished for as long as my cravings will let them ;-)
