My hypothetical friend wants to send a package to a child in a developing country that he's sponsoring. Unfortunately the organization has limits about what he can send. He wants to send cash or precious metals but is not allowed to do so because "it's unfair to other families in the village"
How could he hypothetically skirt the rules?

Your sponsored child will be delighted if you send them a small gift. When you do,
please keep it small, as flat as possible and under 150g. We keep gifts small to
reduce shipping costs and to ensure efficiency through customs.
Symbols of Friendship: photos, stickers, postcards, balloons, toy car, doll
Fun and Sports: Inflatable beach balls, skipping rope, bouncy ball, yo-yo
Learning and Exploring: Maps, small notepads, calculator, bookmark, flash-cards
Writing: Pens, crayons, pencil case, markers, ruler, eraser, copy book
Playing with friends: travel size board games, cards, puzzles
TIP: Ensure the gifts you send can be shared with siblings and friends!
money
expensive gifts (jewellery, watches)
electronic items (phone, tablet)
sharp objects (scissors, cutlery, compass, pen knife)
beauty and hygiene products (soap, make-up, shampoo)
food and plants (sweets, chocolate)
liquids (paint, bubbles, hand sanitiser)
clothing (hat, scarf, socks, underwear)
breakables (mirrors, mugs)
Gifts are screened by our office staff. Screening is vital to ensure we keep children
safe. We must check all gifts in order to ensure nothing inappropriate reaches
sponsored children.
To make this process as quick and efficient as possible, please:

A4 envelope to the organization address.

We would love to send all the gifts sponsors want to send to children. However, to promote fairness we urge you to keep things as simple as possible and follow the above guidelines.

That way some children are not getting more than others and it helps us manage expectations in the best way possible.

Why would you want to? What is this child going to do with cash or precious metals???
>>
>>2958826
It's for his parents to use for themselves and their child obviously

I don't think it's going to be possible. You would need a way of hiding it that a charity worker wouldn't discover, but a child would. Adults are smarter than children, so you won't be able to do this.
Also, I feel like I'm posting in an undercover money smuggling thread. Money and precious metals is a weird thing to send a kid.

>sponsoring turd world
>no legal maximum on what % of donations such organizations/charities can keep for themselves
The kid (if real) is getting a government (taxes) funded humanitarian vegetarian MRE once per week while the CEO of the "organization" you're going through is keeping 99.5% of your money while using the other 0.49999% to keep the lights, phones, and website on. You are actually sponsoring some kike's mansion(s) while paradoxically still teaching the browns to expect, nay demand, blessings from Whitey on high. Odds are good you are wasting money to perpetuate fraud while creating a cultural barrier of learned helplessness sabotaging less fortunate people's chances at ever becoming self-sufficient.
>must check all gifts to ensure nothing inappropriate
Both legit due to customs issues and a convenient excuse to pick through the gifts and take anything they want or is of any value first. Assuming any of it ever actually leaves the country and isn't just filtered for valuables and then binned.

>>2958787
You're already sending them money by sponsoring them. Why are you trying to send them money under the table?
All the rest of this stuff is just tat to make sponsors feel good about themselves and keep donating anyway. They could buy heaps of the junk they recommend in bulk with your sponsorship and distribute it if that actually had any positive impact.
>>
>>2958785
Ask to meet the child you support on a trip there.
If it's fraud, they will find any and every excuse for you not to go.
If it's not and you can go and see him, just give him the money hand by hand.
I suppose if you really want to hide money, you could cleanly open the package of a small toy, and stuff a bill in any enclosure or aperture of the toy, and then receal the package.
But you are probably wasting your time, as >>2958848 and >>2958849 already said.
