We are finally settled down in one place for a little while. We are living on a missionary center in the highlands region and will be here until we allocate to a tribe around February 2015. The address we have here will likely be the address that we will keep for the remainder of our time here in PNG. Many of you have been facebooking for our address and for care package information. Thank you so much for your interest in us and for wanting to send us and our girls a little something. I have compiled a list of things that we would love to have. So here it is.
Food:
Fruit snacks, Great Value Trail Mix with the M&Ms and Raisins in it, C and C Packing Beef Jerky, Pepperoni, Nutra-Grain Bars, Velveeta Cheese, Gum (Paisley loves Gum lol), Jeremy loves Chocolate oranges at Christmas. I love Candy Corn around Thanksgiving/Halloween. Reeses peanut butter cups,
Kids:
Stickers, Coloring books, Crafts Supplies, Kid’s scissors, Glue sticks or bottle (for crafts), Homeschooling anything for pre-k and kindergarten, Paisley and Myli are really into dress up right now, and Frozen of course, educational toys that kids are playing with now, Kids sizes, 5T and 3T.
Others:
Cute fridge Magnetics, Cute Stationary (seems like we are always writing thank you notes), Bath and Body Works Hand soaps and lotions, Candles, Magazines, picture of your family, holiday anything just to make us feel at home and festive, Cute Hand Towel,
Anything else that is practical or fun!
Sending suggestions:
Flat rate from the post office is the way to go. Claim all things broadly but don’t lie (example: if you bought skittles, just write “candy”). If you wrap items they will be less likely to be snatched/confiscated. It takes about 4 weeks to get here. Double wrap/ziploc foods, candles, etc. PNG rats love chocolate/peanut butter and will work hard to chew their way through!
If you would like to send something for Christmas you will need to get it in the Mail by the 1st of October because things get busy here with packages and it will not make it.
Our address:
Jeremy and Mandy Hambrice
P.O. Box 1079
Goroka, EHP 441
Papua New Guinea
We Love you guys so much, no matter if you send us a care package or not!
