What items should I not send to my sponsored child?

We ask that you do not send toys or stickers that depict snakes, spiders, tortoises, snails, frogs, owls, or scorpions. Please also refrain from sending stick-on tattoos of any kind. These items can symbolize inappropriate things in some countries.

Please do not send checks, cash, or personal contact information (email address, home address, or phone number).

Please do not send food or candy. Food attracts rodents that may get to your package before your child does.

Also, please note that plastic bags are banned in Kenya, so please do not send or bring items to your Kenyan child in ziploc or other types of plastic bags.
