Plans to send a couple of boxes....

This will be the first time I send a box to the Philippines.  The boxes are  are roughly 20 x 20 x 20" and can be filled full and heavy for a flat fee of $55 to middle islands and $45 to Manila.     (This price is through Willex Corporation, but there is also the LBC company--when it comes time to send a box off, I'll see which company gives the better price!!)     I was planning to send the first box I fill to Manila.    (this  project is another reason I stop and collect empty beer/pop/water bottles and cans!!)

items that can be included:  as mentioned all the small trial sized items at motels and hotels--even partially used is fine
                                               children's clothing and sandals and t-shoes--more spring/summer than winter!  again gently used is fine    (scarves, caps, socks)
                                               toys--even just the MacDonald meal ones or others you care to weed out from your children's assortment!  (think kids 2  years through 17 years of age)
                                               school supplies:  pens, pencils, crayons, colored pencils, notebook paper, folders, rulers, erasers, small pencil sharpeners, compass/protractor/  solar powered calculators, coloring books, children's books--English is taught in the schools
                                               hygiene items:  wash cloth, bar of soap, combs, brushes, hair do-dads for girls, deodorant, tooth brush, tooth paste, breath mints,
                                               gum and candy is always fun, but NOT chocolate or things that would melt
                  
When I send a box to the Middle Islands, even canned ham, Spam, sardines, Asian noodles, the dried noodle soup packages (Top Ramen),  canned spaghetti sauce, and adult gently used clothing would be great!!

I am grateful for any donations ya'll care to give!!!
