• Balls. The children love bouncy, colourful things.
• Soccer balls or other deflated balls are ideal because you can fit more in a suitcase when they aren't full of air. Bring a pump to inflate them when you arrive.
• Durable toys that can be played with frequently by many children are fantastic!
• They really appreciate flashlights too. Rechargeable or solar panelled flashlights are the best since it gets dark at 6:30pm and there are no street lights in most areas.
• Crocs are a good gift because they are light and comfortable.
• Other gift ideas are pictures of you and your family that they can mount on their walls (they are bare, mud walls).

As an alternate option, we have donations of toys and clothes that we can fill your second suitcase with if you are planning to join Home of Hope in Rwanda.
