Small friendship boxes containing crayons, pencils, and magazines are greatly appreciated. Before entering the program, teachers should know that mailing costs are HIGH, so packages should be designed with size and weight in mind. A USPO surface shipment can take four months. Friendship packages containing school supplies sent by surface will take two to four months to arrive. Check with your local post office for details.
Biographical letters are a good way to start.
Attaching small photos to the letters works well. Mentioning wildlife, conservation, local wildlife, and domestic pets is good. Wildlife video and audio cassettes can be forwarded to NLCP, Educational Program, P. O. Box 450148, Mpika, Zambia. You could also make a video of your classroom, daily school routine or school play.
