Testing, Testing, 1, 2, 3.....

Hello Everyone-

I've recently received word from the Peace Corps "South Africa Desk" about how and where to contact me while I'm gone...at least for the first two months. When I get word of my permanent site address, I'll make sure to post it. Please feel free to contact me as much (I need letters and care packages people) as you want! I love receiving mail in the states, so this aspect of my being won't change once I'm in South Africa!!!

At least for the first two months of Pre-Service Training, there may or may not be regular communication with me. Yes, I know you're distraught by this news...limited telephone calls, letters, emails, and blog entries...but trust me, it will all work out! When the opportunity presents itself, I'll get a cell phone. If you want the number, email me or contact my parental units.

Ahhh....letters and packages! From prior experience, letters generally take two to four weeks to arrive (more like 3 weeks). If you're expecting a letter from my end, be patient, it should arrive soon (hopefully)! Number each letter/package that you send, so we can collectively know if the mail service (both US and South African) is working in our favor.

If you're planning to send a letter during Pre-Service Training, send it to:

Danielle D. Morris, PCV
U.S. Peace Corps
P.O.Box 9536
Pretoria 0001
South Africa

Packages can be sent through DHL to:

Leah Berkowitz, co/U.S. Peace Corps
Danielle D. Morris, PCV
126 Verdoorn St
Sunnyside, Pretoria
South Africa

DHL will need the telephone number to Peace Corps South Africa: 01127123444255

Well, that's all for now! Later Skater!

Hey bigtimer, I'm happy you enjoyed your stay in the PacNW. You are the talk of the town this week. You're on your way back to Chicago with one week left before you actually begin your 'peace corps dream'. I am extremely excited to have gotten the opportunity to live vicariously through you. Please be detailed in your discriptions of the many adventures to come. Remember, people love a good story...spice it up! And if you do get to talk to a lion or ride a girrafe, you already know...I wanna know all about it, j/k. Have fun SSDM *smack*
