ok so i finally got the po box

ok so i mananged to talk the other peace volunteers in the area to let me use thier pox so i can recieve mail here in the district. so the new address is...

Jane LeGrand
PO Box 369
Mafinga, Tanzania

dont forget the padded envelopes are alyas good (and anything you want to send me i would love to have it) and it doesnet hurt to address it to "sister" jane and put all the religious symbols on there...

this way you can start sending mail directly to me without going through the peace corps. if you have sent me mail to the other address it will still get to me, as peace corps will foward mail to my new address. i hav enot received mail for 2 weeks and dont expect anything probably for another month now, for those i had told that i had mail waiting....well that was a lie. there was no mail when i went to pick it up. oh well..i guess that it will just build up and when i finally get some maybe it will be a large quantity!!! also as ihave been around internet for the last few days i am about to head back to the village and wont make it back to the city till tuesday the 13th. so the reason i know i will back on the 13th is that we are doing a girls empowerment camp starting that tuesday. it will last until that saturday. we are staying at the convent that is run on solar power and has a GREAT farm. and i hear even hot shower. so over the time span i am there i am sure i will take off to check the ole email at some point. i am excited about the camp. it will be for young girls and boys and focusing on the dichotomy of gender roles in the village.

so i am heading back to village though strangely just for the week. things here start slowly but once that ball gets rollings, it seems to pick up speed rapidily. it is nice also since all of the environmental volunteers are working on the camp together it is giving me an opportunity to get to know my neighbors.

so i am signing off...keep the letters coming...i will get them someday!!!

love
jane

So, What about boxes, can we send them, or just padded envelopes? Anyone send her a box yet?
