<p>So glad to have you with us Rorie. Yes, that's basically it, besides a good chatty letter. Decide your budget for the shipping. Large flat rate box is close to $18 in postage. There is a medium and a small box/bubble envelope too. Pick up one of each at the post office to size up what you want to do. Place items in zipperlock bags. You want to keep all personal hygiene except for toothpaste and brushes separate from soaps, deodorant, etc. Otherwise, food tastes like soap.</p>

<p>Include your email in the letter, and it they have time, they may contact you. I also include one small thank you note, with it filled out that, Thanks, we got your package. They get free mailing on letters. They may be so busy as things heat up around the world, that you may not hear from them. If any of us gets a message, we share it. We are all Molly's Moms.</p>
<p>I often include some socks if I have them. This month my box is filled with blue tshirts, some pillowcases, and then whatever I have the most of (food or personal hygiene) to fill the box. If you have younger kids, they can draw pictures to include (NO glitter.)</p>
<p>I have done this from the beginning, so it's second nature. Let us know if you have any questions, as I may have left some things out. Include a friend and have coffee/tea and brownies, and pack together. </p>
