Hi Everyone

Many people asked what things they could send. For me letters are great & the occassional treat from home! For the community:

School supplies: (I ahve > 50 students)
The school has children's books that are to hard for the students, white paper & pencils.
helpful things: scissors, pens, notebooks, (those are the little things I can think of). Backpacks would be a great treat that the students only dream of. Educational games/activities.

Clothes: Kids clothes would be great!!! They love denim(for some crazy reason because it's much to hot for jeans if you ask me!) Kids pants, shorts, shirts, undies, shirts would be great! Mens pants/shorts & t-shirts well. Keep in mind that the kids here are TINY!! I don't think there's one kid here bigger than me (even close for that matter)

Entertainment
Kids movies (both VHS or DVD). They watch a movie every weekend but they have no good movies. (we are watching movies in Japanese instead of English or rated R movies).
Basketballs, volleyballs & nets :), and baseball gloves would be loved dearly here.

The thing is, these people REALLY have no form of entertainment but each other so anything new is always appreciated.

I appreciate every one's willingness & desire to help! It gives me much joy & strength knowing we (the people of Kaben & myself) have your support! Thank you!

I get a $50 stipend each month for shipping things to me so once something gets to Majuro World Teach covers the cost (& hassle) of getting boxes to me which is a wonderful blessing for the community (& me) since they can't just mail in request for clothes & such.

Thank you again for your support!

Love, Heidi

We have sent her packages in the mail and the least expensive way is to use the flat rate boxes from the post office. I don't think basketballs and volleyballs would fit in it however. You need a customs form but it is domestic postage rate.
