The best way to send a care package to our family is by USPS Flat Rate boxes (found at your local post office). Our address here in Chad is:

PIONEERS
Jacob Broten
B.P. 53
Abéché, CHAD (via Paris)
AFRICA

What should you send if you’re able? Here’s a list of items we enjoy, but don’t find here (and seem to make the journey across the ocean without spoiling):

– Caribou Coffee Grounds and Coffeemate Carmel Additive (Sonja)
– Packs of hockey or baseball trading cards (Nehemiah)
– Bracelet or necklace crafts (Evangeline)
– Small cars or army guy figurines (Athanasius)
– Coloring books and Crayola Twistables (Athanasius and Hadassah)
– Anything to suck on (Perpetua)
– Chips and Cheese Dip (Jacob)
– Parmesan cheese, and gravy, taco, chili, and salad seasoning packets (everyone)
– Exotic nuts (anything other than peanuts) and dried fruits (everyone)
– Bacon bits, pepperonis, or teryaki (the carnivores of the family)
– Skittles, licorice, and small assorted wrapped chocolates such as Mr. Goodbar, Hershey, etc.

When leaving it at the post office, they will ask you to write what items are being sent (snacks, books, toys, etc). Delivery time to Chad can take anywhere from 6-12 weeks. Pack thoughtfully when putting everything in the box, realizing that it will be exposed to hot weather and a fair amount of wear and tear. It’s a good idea to avoid sending liquids or items that will easily melt. Place items that might get damaged (like books) into plastic bags. Lastly, be aware that the cost of sending the box is about $50.
