Wish List

Many people have expressed interest in sending packages or asked if we have a wish list - thanks! It's very nice to have such generous friends and family. One thing we would LOVE is any sort of picture, card, or letter from you that we can hang on out wall - so please don't forget to include us on your Christmas card list! Snail mail can be sent to our P.O. Box, which is listed on the sidebar. We don't have a printer, so though we love emails we can't hang them up.

We also would really appreciate donations that would help us to complete projects in the community. This includes the women's sewing project (some remaining building renovations and in the future, more machines), the computer course (computer equipment and set up), and the library (books and organizational supplies).

Donations can be made by check to Project Kenya, and in the notes line put "Stahls" and whichever project you would like to support (or just our names if it is to support our work directly). They can be mailed to 4360 Jackson Drive, Jackson, WI 53037. Alternatively, you can donate online: go to http://www.project-kenya.org/wherewework/ribekenya.html to see the updated page about Ribe, and then go to the "Donate Now" link at the top of the page. However, I don't think you can specify our names or a project there, so it just goes to the general Project Kenya fund.

We really don't expect anything, but if you are feeling generous, we have come up with a few things that we would enjoy personally:
-- Any DVDs of TV shows or movies, since they are difficult to buy here. Anything you can get for free/cheap is great, though if you want to spend money we would love the LOST series, any/all seasons.
-- Books are expensive to ship, but we do love to read. Again, pretty much anything and everything, and the books would then be donated to the library here.
-- Food: Starbucks Via, Propel/Gatorade packets (especially those with hydrating/electrolytes), Power Bars, dried fruit, beef jerky, summer sausage, Splenda
-- Supplies: food thermometer, rubber spatula
FYI, a padded envelope is cheaper and more likely to arrive than a box ... and feel free to remove things from original packaging.

Thank you again to all our friends and family who have been praying for us and keeping in touch - it is so much more important than material things, and we feel so encouraged by you!

  2. We think letters may only take about a week, but packages are likely two or more... we're okay with receiving gifts after Christmas!
