We have been asked so many times “what can we send you?”  and teams often ask, “What can we bring out with us for you?”  For your convenience, this page will attempt to keep a current list of items that would either be nice treats from home, or very helpful in making cooking and school-snacking much easier!  There are smaller, lighter items listed which will be easier to send in a package.  Our address is at the bottom of the page.

**It is best to send packages air mail rather than surface mail.  Though more expensive this way, they will get to us in the matter of weeks / days, rather than months / years.

**E-mail (if you would like to see if a team is available to BRING your package to us!)  pete.brokopp@verizon.net

**Burkina doesn’t charge much for packages, and our post offices have been great at keeping the packages intact.  They are pretty honest, and if they need to open them, they’ll do it in front of us.
