Mail/Care Packages

Getting mail here in Bundibugyo is an incredible encouragement! It reminds me that I am still connected to my friends and family at home and that I am not forgotten out here in the jungle :)

You are welcome to send mail to me at the following address:
Chrissy Chipriano
World Harvest Mission
Box 1142
Bundibugyo, Uganda
            East Africa

It costs about $1 to send a card and I love hearing from you! I also especially love photos of you and your family.

If you want to send a care package, I'd recommend an international flat rate box. Some fun ideas of things to send are:

  • cake mix, brownie mix, jello cheesecake mix, lemon bar mix, chocolate pudding mix
  • ranch dressing packets
  • crystal light or powdered drink mix
  • chocolate (!)--snickers, twix, dove dark chocolate
  • chocolate chips
  • oreos or chips ahoy
  • kraft mac and cheese
  • parmesan cheese
  • nuts (walnuts, pecans, pistachios, almonds)
  • cereal
  • granola bars, trail mix
  • dried fruit (craisins, cherries, blueberries, apricots)
  • reading material
  • seeds (for flowers or vegetables)
  • coffee (!)
  • ziploc bags
  • nail polish, chapstick, lotion, shower gel
  • small toys for kids (playing cards, jump rope, coloring book/crayons, temporary tattoos, glowsticks, puzzles, stickers, beach balls, etc.)
  • anything and everything from Trader Joe's :)
It usually takes a few weeks for cards/envelopes to arrive. If you send a box, it could take up to 8 weeks but I promise to let you know when it comes!
