Items sent to missionaries

I have to take a side line from my transportation blogging to tell you a story about a friend of mine here in Uganda from Switzerland.
I was at ladies bible study this morning and she was telling me about a care package that her church sent her. I was shocked, saddened and appalled. They sent her a box filled with USED tea bags that they had dried out after using and then boxed and sent to her. UNBELIEVABLE!!!

So this had inspired me to write the top five things never to send a missionary or friend living in a 3rd world country.

5. Electronics with no batteries
4. Used clothing with holes/stains
3. Worn out shoes with no laces
2. Sprint cell phone (totally useless without a sim card)
.................................................................................................................
1. USED TEA BAGS

Some people just don't get it, do they?
