Do you have spare craft/art supplies?

Hi all,
 
(Apologies in advance, this post has nothing to do with meditation!)

I do volunteer work assisting asylum seekers. Currently I'm helping out a woman from the Congo (central Africa) who is seeking refugee status in Thailand. You may remember her from this post. 

She is unable to work and is just sitting in her room all day, waiting for her refugee claim to be assessed, which is going to take many more months and perhaps years.

She has suffered terribly in her home country, witnessing atrocities and deaths of family members. I would really like to be able to send her some craft or art supplies to give her something to do during the day.

I've sent her a few cross-stitch kits but she's finished those. I was wondering, does anyone have some light-weight extra craft or art supplies they don't need?

I will pay for the postage costs to Thailand. 

(If you don't have anything, perhaps you could help out by giving this a mention on Facebook or by Twittering...I'd really appreciate it.)
 
Thankyou!
