Hey everyone!!! I just wanted to let you know that I really want to start a Reading club for 2-4th graders in my community. I want to invite children to come to my house once a week for about an hour or an hour and a half and have them read and do other activities related to reading, comprehension, and learning about new things... However, my community doesnīt have a library and books are really expensive here. It is possible to check out books from the Peace Corps library, but I would really like other materials as well to work with the children...so, if you have a couple extra bucks and want to help out some needy children in Paraguay, these are things that would be useful for my class:
-markers
-crayons
-dry erase markers
-stickers
-pens/pencils with fun designs
-bouncy balls
-childrens books in Spanish (can be found in most large bookstores with other childrenīs books)
-glue, rubber cement
-scissors for kids
-letter flaschcards
-coloring books
-colored pencils
-learning to read books (English or Spanish)
-chalk
-construction paper.
 
 I know this is a long list, but Iīm looking for help to get these items...they are expensive in Paraguay or I may not be able to find some of the items here. These items will allow me to do different activities with the children.  If you donīt like to help out needy children in Paraguay, you can always help out a Peace Corps volunteer. ; )
Since Iīm sending you a list of items for children, I thought some of you might want to know what Iīd like, so hereīs a copy of my current wish list:
-South America Laminated map
-food packets/sauces: taco sauce, ranch, alfredo, hot chocolate, etc
-crest toothpaste
-chocolate: heath, snickers, twix, kisses...
-seasonings for beef, chicken...
-easy cooking recipes
-Learning English books
-any fun magazines...People
-cheap DVDīs...I now have a dvd player
-shout wipes
-hand sanitizer
-gum...tropical flavor. 

 Alright, now that Iīve taken up all your time reading my wish list, I just want to say thanks! Iīll keep you all posted about my work. School is just starting, so Iīm hoping to work more in the high schools and elementary schools...Thanks again.
Sam

You can send the packages to:
Samantha Parker
Cuerpo de Paz
Santani, San Pedro
Paraguay
South America

Make sure to clearly mark the packages so that they will have a better chance of making it to me...Anything over 5lbs. will probably be sent to the port in Asuncion and I may not get it...and it would be really expensive to mail somthing that heavy. THANKS!
