Photos, stickers, and other small items that fit into a flat envelope are great to include with a letter to your child. Please do not send cash, checks, fine jewelry, or electronics. If you wish to send a gift to your child, please contact us first – we’ll be happy to offer suggestions and answer any questions! Due to high postage and customs fees, we can’t forward packages to Ethiopia, but we may be able to arrange a local gift purchase or even hold your gift until a volunteer or staff member travels to YZM and can deliver it personally.
