My very best friend is going to be going to Africa for the next two years as part of the peace corps. Our core group of girlfriends and I are wanting to make her a basket or all pitch in and get her a nice gift. But, we want them to things she can use while over there, or things that wouldn't get damaged but would remind her that we love her. Suggestions?
--------------------
You also might consider mailing this gift to her at her training site instead of having her pack it in her luggage. If she is like most of the people in my training group, she will be heavily loaded down already. The external hard drive someone else mentioned is a must if she does not have it! Also, if you do mail packages, peanut butter in any form is huge if it is not available where she will serve. Other than that, pictures, music, maybe a photo album showing off her and all of her friends and family would be useful when integrating into the local community. Postcards showing different scenes from home are also good, as well as stickers. Also, a lot of us end up teaching English as part of our service, so a good cd with teaching ideas/games/ lesson plans would be nice. Internet access is not always guaranteed (especially in Africa), and having this resource available would probably really help her in her service.
