It’s finally coming down the wire!! I leave in 4 DAYS…but who’s counting! I highly encourage sending me mail! A few people have been asking me about sending toys and candies to people in the villages and I think there will be an appropriate time for that in the near future but at this time I want to focus on learning everything I can about the new environment that I am immersing myself in. My communications might be limited to the states while I am in training, so I am sure that I would be overly ecstatic to receive mail from all of you. Mail usually takes 2-3 weeks to get to Malawi, so if you send me anything, don’t expect a hasty return letter. Packages take 2-3 months and sometimes longer. If you do send anything in a package, make sure that it’s not expensive and the more padding, the better. Send pictures, games and anything that you think will put a smile on my face!!
This address will be a great way to stay in touch with me for the first three months of training:
Kirk Longstein, PCV
PEACE CORPS/MALAWI
BOX 208
LILONGWE
MALAWI
This address will work well if sending packages via DHL and need an expedited delivery:
Kirk Longstein, PCV
C/O U.S. PEACE CORPS MALAWI
AREA 4 PLOT 70
ACROSS FROM OILCOM DEPOT
LILONGWE
MALAWI
You’ll also need to include the Peace Corps/Malawi phone number: 256-1-757-157।
Thanks folks, for all your love and support...hopefully I got a chance to say goodbye to everybody but if not do hesitate to drop me a line!
