Photos, stickers, and most other small items that fit into a flat envelope are great to include with a letter to your child. Don’t send cash, checks, jewelry, or electronics items. If you wish to send a package or other special gift, please contact us for ideas or guidelines! Due to high postage costs, we can’t forward packages to Ethiopia, but we may be able to arrange a local gift purchase – or hold your gift until a volunteer or staff member travels to YZM.
