My mailing address:
Elizabeth Reardon/PCV
Corpo da Paz
Rua Dar es Salaam 14, caixa postal 526
Nampula, Mozambique
If you're going to send a package, pretty please:
-Don't claim the contents as having a value of over $5 (because of customs fees, PC will take anything else out of my living allowance...).
-Claim the contents as school supplies, sunscreen, a Bible, etc., ESPECIALLY if there is something of value. Lie! Lie like your life depends on it!
-Write things like "God Bless" and "Jesus Loves You", tape on religious images, or even address it to Sister Elizabeth (to reduce the risk of theft).
-Keep in mind that it may take 4-5 months to reach me (especially if you're sending food/perishables).
Things I love to receive:
-American candy: trust me, it tastes just as good melted and six months stale.
-Powdered drink mixes, tea bags, crystal lite, etc.
-CHEESE. Parmesan, powdered mac and cheese mix, whatever.
-Spices and/or spice blends. Our kitchen is very sad.
-Candy, stickers, etc. that I can give my students.
Things to keep in mind:
-I don't really need anything from home, and live within a day of Nampula, which is a major city.
-I adore receiving letters, photos, print media, etc.
-If you write me an email, I promise to write back the next time I have electricity!
