Things for the Girls
Books – The girls love to read, and English-language books are pricey and hard to find here. We gladly receive used books! Both girls can read on Kindle, so Kindle books or gift cards are very useful. Contact us (jonandtanyaparks AT gmail DOT com) for current books they might enjoy.
what are the special instructions for shipping packages?
Very good question, especially since we haven’t posted them here yet. If you go back to the wish list page on the website, there is now a link at the top of the page to a PDF file with the instructions. If you have any questions, email us at jparks(AT)thefellowship(DOT)info.
We have begun to gather a care package but are unsure what to do about shipping due to your visa situation. Please advise. thanks
Yet another excellent question! Packages generally take a couple of weeks to get here, so it would be best to wait for now – once we have an idea about our return we should know when it would be safe to send. Thank you!!
