Peace Corps recommends that packages be sent in padded envelopes if possible, as boxes tend to be taxed more frequently. Also the most reliable way to send a package is with USPS Flat Rate International (also the prices are the best)
Wish List (If you feel so inclined to send me a package!)
Beef Jerky (The Walmart brand is cheap and really really good)
Tuna Packets (not the cans)- low fat and good for protein. I love love love tuna!
Anti Bacterial bar soaps/ Baby Wipes/ Hand Wipes
Hot Sauce!
Seasoning Packets (like to make soups, casseroles, tacos, dressings etc)
Crayons/ Colored Pencils for school
Drink Mix ins for water (ALWAYS A GOOD THING TO SEND)

Hi Taylor. I have enjoyed reading your blog and am extremely proud of you. In going with a medical group to Honduras once a year, I have really learned to appreciate a family-oriented culture where no one can afford anything but the essential things. And learning that in those essential things is where happiness really lives. Except for the occasional cold beer, which actually may be an essential. Well, maybe not always cold, maybe made by your neighbor and chilled in a tub of water. Anyway, I will think of you often and send good wishes bounced off whatever celestial objects God provides.
