My friend is going to volunteer for the peace corps in Africa. I need some useful gift ideas for her! Any suggestions?

My daughter is in the Peace Corps in Peru. I gave her a Swiss Army knife – the one they call "Camper". It doesn't have all the blades known to man, but each one is useful. I think it is the best compromise between size and utility they make.

Once your friend gets there she will find things she wishes she had; small things, like paperback books. Ask her to ask you for stuff every once in a while. Keep it small and inexpensive. You don't want her to be the material queen of Kenya.

When I was a PCV, many years ago, my grandmother wrote short, cheerful letters every week, and enclosed a week's worth of "Peanuts", my favorite comic strip. It was the nicest thing anyone did for me in the 27 months I was gone.

Equestrians from all walks of life from backyard riders to international competitors share a common bond when it comes to the loss of a horse, whether it be through death or some other circumstance, such as being forced to sell due to finances. All such losses may cause us great grief. In a profound sense, Beyond the Rainbow Bridge was written for all of us. Beyond the Rainbow Bridge was written to help equestrians (and those close to them) understand, cope with and, eventually, heal from, the loss of a horse. Beyond the Rainbow Bridge covers a variety of topics, including: *The emotions that characterize the grieving proces s *Understanding and preparing for euthanasia *Coping with a sudden loss due to accident or illness *Options for burial, cremation, or other methods of disposal *Helping a child cope with losing a horse *How horses deal with the loss of a stablemate *Ideas for memorializing a special horse *Bonding with another horse after a loss. Beyond the Rainbow Bridge is filled with practical advice from professionals such as clinical psychologist and veterinarians, and shares the personal stories of horse folks from backyard riders to famous horse people such as Lynn Palm and John Lyons that will provide comfort in your journey through the healing process. While nothing can alter the pain of losing an equine companion, Beyond the Rainbow Bridge gives affirming and inspiration advice and comfort. A very kind gift for a friend going through a difficult time. 146 p
