Mailing Address - Yippee

OK folks - for those of you who have so generously asked if you can send "care packages" etc. - first thank you in advance for ANYTHING that comes this way!

Here's the address:

Nancy Wesson, Peace Corps Volunteer
Post Office Box 914
Gulu Town
Uganda, Africa

How to send:  Probably regular postal service.  UPS does not deliver to PO Boxes.  Flat rate boxes are probably the cheapest if you want to send something.  The TOWN part of the Gulu Address is important to distinguish it from the general Gulu district.  Religious stickers or sayings on the outside have the effect of the package reaching destination.  Really - not kidding...

Ideas?  Chocolate (dark) that won't melt or is in a sealed wrapper, hard candies, snacks, books, magazines, brownie mix, pens, hand sanitizer,  seasonings,  knitting needles (to teach local women to knot and make dolls to sell and clothes, pillow cases (used are fine) to make dresses for girls in orphanages and bias tape for binding and straps on these dresses.

If you're so inclined, lovely.  If not - I will love to get letters, etc.

Going to tech immersion this coming week at the base of the Rwenzori Mountains.   Hoping to see some real African wildlife!

Thanks all, N

  1. Great news! I'm broadcasting your wish list and gathering "stuff." I'll send a small pkg. first as a trial.
