I was thinking of making care packages for children in Mexico and then going there with some friends to hand deliver them to some of the more impoverished areas ... Since they're for the children, I was thinking of putting in candy, gum, and toys, but any other ideas? Thanks smile.gif

hmm, if they're little kids, i would say toys are good...but if they're big kids, i would much prefer sports instruments like a soccer ball or basketball or something....
maybe books?? school supplies??? clothes??? food???
...and just about where do you stand?

Well I was thinking, for the little kids (this is cheesy, mind you) the main focus in terms of toys would be like ... a giant fluffy teddy bear. Personally, I adore teddy bears and I was thinking that maybe these kids haven't ever SEEN a teddy bear before in their lives ... so yeah? Maybe?

And I like the idea of the soccer balls/basketballs and stuff ...

well...you got to think about the weather in mexico and where they live

if they live where theres a field of cactuses i'm pretty sure they ain't gonna use your soccer balls.

i would think about things they could use and may need...
