It takes about 2-4 weeks for letters and packages to arrive. It's also a good idea to date or number letters so I'll know if any are missing. Here are a few tips to help make sure things get to me:

-Always write "par avion/Air Mail" on letters

-Write in red ink

-Don't send postcards, or put them in envelopes, or they might end up on the wall of the post office

-Be as general as possible on customs forms. Putting things like "educational materials" or "hygiene products" will probably decrease the chance of a search

-Use padded envelopes when possible to cut down on fees of sending and receiving packages
-Put food in ziploc bags so pests don't eat them 

Wish list:

Cookies: milano cookies, pepperidge farm, anything sweet
Seeds that i can plant here
Goldfish crackers or Cheez-its
Magazines
Various types of candy or chocolate (m&ms, etc)
Colored pencils, crayons
Cookie or cake mixes (preferably just add water, since eggs can be difficult to get)
Granola bars
Healthy-ish snacks? (like trader joe's type stuff)
Seasoning packets (spices, ranch flavored, cheese, etc)
Letters!
