Hi there Giving her a care package before she leaves will really show her that you care and wish her well. I'm a fan of the "Sunshine Care Package" from http://BisketBaskets.com at http://www.bisketbaskets.com/sunshine-care-package.html. I love the name of it and she'll be able to indulge in some chocolates, delish cookies, popcorn, and a ton of other scrumptious goodies before she leaves.

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.

A Journal, with out a doubt she will most likely love it and write all of her experiences in it. Maybe a camera, extra SD card for the camera to make the most out of her experience. Maybe a voice recorder if she wants to verbally record her thoughts. But I would Deff go with a journal, maybe a leather one that ties together, dont forget a pen/pencil to go with it. Barnes and Nobles have leather journals there from 20-35 dollars, trust me I know, I just bought one lol.

Hand sanitizer, a dictionary with common phrases in it of many languages, lip balm, one of those cheap portable water filters, good for about 100 uses (look it up, there are a few different names and I forgot all of them) batteries, cheap toys for her to hand out to the kids where ever she's going, waterless face cleansing wipes...
