Some tips:
2) Keep packages smallish and send padded envelopes when possible
3) Don't be overly descriptive on the customs forms. DVDs can be "educational material," and foodstuffs can be "nutritional goods." Reduce the temptation for someone to open it
4) Mail takes a minimum of 3 weeks to reach me, packages 1-2 months
5) Number all your letters so I know I've received them all
6) Do not send valuables/money, even if you need to bribe customs. I'll do that on my end
7) If you're creative, but a cross or bible verse on it. There are a lot of missionaries in Africa, so it may reduce the temptation to look inside any envelopes
