What are good gift ideas for host families in Kenya?
by Melanie
My college student daughter leaves soon for a semester study/internship in Kenya. She is with one host family in Nairobi, then another in a rural area, yet to be named. We would appreciate gift ideas for these families that she can take with her, for adults and children. She knows the Nairobi host family has a 12 yr. old girl, 9 yr. old boy, 3 mo. old and 4 adults. Would Obama items (t-shirt, cap, etc. be welcomed by the adults? Soccor balls with hand pumps by children? Art supplies for children? Large picture calendars have been suggested. Really need more ideas for the men and women of these families. She just wants to stock a variety of gifts that are easily packed and generally well received. Thanks in advance for any ideas or tips on customs with host families.
