we call them CARE packages. I get them, and give them too!

Hi Concyclando!

You mean Red Cross parcels are called CARE packages over there, or are we talking about mummies' best supplies? Or (like I was) both?

both-- CARE is non profit organization (like OXFam ?) that donates or ships and distributes oversea's food and famine relief.. so good natured people contribe to CARE, and when kids are away at school or camp or just away cause they are, good natured people pack up all the special foods you can't get there (where ever there is) and call them Care packages.. it works out nicely, but the sender shows they care, and recipent feels cared for..
