Regular mail works well, or DHL if you feel the need to spend more...

*DON'T declare "Food" (even if you're sending some...), only "Personal Effects".
***NO pornographic/obscene materials of any kind!! Seriously, it's illegal and I'd get into trouble!

This address is valid while I'm in training, my permanent address will be made available at a later date.

Next stop... Kenya!

Staging is complete, and I am officially a Peace Corps trainee. Tomorrow we leave for Kenya where we will enter pre-service training (PST) for 9 weeks.

My fellow trainees are awesome and as of the first day, I'm really excited to be working with such cool people. I'm among the youngest of the group of 27 volunteers - and I'm happy to find that the amount of Deaf Education volunteers exceeds what I had originally expected! I'm not alone...

Thank you for everyone's well wishes and prayers - keep them coming! =)

Next post, coming to you from Kenya!

Wish me luck!
