So the latest rumor regarding the mail system is that due to the highly religious nature of this society, drawing crosses and writing phrases such as "Dios te Bendiga" (God Bless You) or "Jesus Te Ama" (Jesus Loves You) on care packages often ensures their eventual delivery -- and sometimes even quicker delivery! So there ya go, even more incentive to send packages of love.
Just a reminder, use the address on the right side of this web page, send only padded envelopes or letter (not boxes) and always mark the value under $20.
What's that? A wishlist ... sure!
dark chocolates-- individually wrapped
twizzlers
kashi granola bars
seasoning mixes for thai, indian, and other fun foods
dehydrated miso soup
pictures
tootsie roll pops
holiday decor
recipes
newspaper and magazine articles of interest
music and movies
surprises :)
I mentioned God, Jesus, and Care Packages, but still haven't written about the promised "Yogurt". What's yogurt got to do with the aforementioned? A lot actually. There is a brand of yogurt here that has a picture of Jesus on the front and a friendly "Jesus Te Ama". So the question I have is this: How great of a marketing tool is it to put Jesus's face on a bottle of well... anything ... in a culture that has quite an affinity for Jesus? I wonder what would happen if you put the face of Jesus on a care package?
