The children will be going back to school September 12.  Please include a few school supplies in their fall box to help them reach thier academic potential!

Possible content suggestions:

Letters 4x6 photos Frisbee 1 small toy Deflated soccer balls Socks 2 shirts Underwear Jump rope Anti-fungal cream Band aids Glue sticks 1 pkg of Trident or Orbit gum

The package should weigh around 4 lbs. This is important to giving some consistency in the amount of what each child receives. Remember to allow for at least two weeks of shipping time. You can watch a short video on youtube about sending a package to Ethiopia, titled, “Mailing a box and Custom Form." The link is on the Mailing a Package page.

The children enjoy writing the sponsors! It is a wonderful opportunity to share what their life is like in Ethiopia and to practice their developing English skills. Please let us know if you have not received a letter within 6 weeks of sending your box. aerieafrica@comcast.net
