The aim of the project “Package Wishlist” is to encourage international travelers to make better use of the spare room in their suitcases to complete the wish lists of local children living under the stress of poverty.
Volunteers will not only bring goods to their local teenager friends, but also bring them brand new ideas of how the outside world looks like.

conducted by The World

regions where more than
50% of children aged 7-
14 are employed.

The employment of the underage labor is just one of the challenges children
living in poor regions are faced with. Poverty has not only deprived their right
to know the outside world, but also made their wish lists hard to fulfil.
