Joining the Peace Corps and moving to Uganda (Leaving February 12th) for the next 27 months...A blog of my thoughts, my journeys and a new life to be discovered...
SENDING MAIL IS IMPORTANT!!! SO DO IT FREQUENTLY!!!
NEW POSTAL MAIL ADDRESS BELOW!!!!!
I remember growin' up and gettin' home from school and one of the first things I would do (besides throw a few Bagel Bites or a Totinos in the oven) was to check the mail. Why did the parents always get the mail! I wanted mail because ya know when you're little and you get mail there is a 95.32% chance there is money in it!!!!!.....(DUM DUM DUM)...And then decades later, when I begun to enter the real world mail became less exciting as it tended to contain bills and you realise money does not grow on the out-stretched arms of family and friends...So now it comes a time when mail, for at least the next couple of years will become exciting again. So if you do indeed send something, here is my address again (for approximately the first 10 weeks, and also a few tips to ensure the safety of the packages:
Daniel Koza
PO Box 161
Kaliro, Uganda
TIPS::
1. Write "Air Mail" or "Par Avion" on anything and everything you send.
2. Try to use envelopes as much as possible, even the larger padded ones and only use boxes as an absolutely last resort.
3. If sending in a box, ensure that it is sealed incredibly well and write "Religious Materials" on it and draw a cross or something ?!?!
4. In writing letters, number each letter in sequential order (and best to photocopy each letter as well) since letters sometimes come at different times or not at all. This well I will know if something has gone missing.
5. Also be weary in filling out customs forms. Remember USPS will not ship things like batteries international, so if these types of items are in packages, simply leave it off the Customs form.
THINGS TO SEND ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:::::
- Fruit snacks!!!
- Beef Jerky
- Magazines
- Hand Sanitiser
- Taco Bell Seasoning Packets
- More journals
- DVDs with movies!!!
...Too lazy to think of anything now, I like anything and everything!
