* I also wanted to say thank you for everyone that has sent me letters and boxes- it really means the world to me!! I have had great luck with receiving all letters and boxes sent thus far!
Letters take a minimum of two weeks to arrive in Uganda if sent by airmail, packages even longer. Packages sent by surface mail usually take between one and two months- and some mail does simply not arrive (I am told that this is not a frequent occurrence but it does happen).
ADVISORY: Be sure to number all letters for tracking and to write "Airmail" and "Par Avion" on the envelopes. Also, I will have very limited access to internet, e-mail, and telephone time while in training. I am not sure at this point when I will be able to set up a cell phone there but will let everyone know as soon as I do. Incoming calls from the U.S. are FREE; however, outgoing to the U.S. is very expensive and I do not know how expensive it will be to call from the U.S. Phone Cards are the way to go.
If packages are to be sent: it is best to keep them small, use padded envelopes (so that they will be treated as a letter), and valuables and or perishables should NOT be sent through the mail. Once in my community I am told that I will be able to check my e-mail weekly and at that time I will blog and post pics.
*After training I will be able to set up a mailing address in the community where I will be posted. Therefore, the address listed above is a temporary one and I will notify all immediately on here what my new one will be after training!
I look so forward to every one's letters and pictures. Thanks again for all of the support I have received from all my dear friends and family. I cannot wait for the adventure to begin!!
About Me
- Khrissee
- I am 23 years old and have finished my first year of my Masters in Public Administration with a Concentration in International Management. I have my BA in Communication and Human Behavior with a Minor in Philosophy. I've fallen on black days but you can stand me up to the gates of hell and I won't back down. There is the known, the unknown, and in between are the doors. I plan to know each of these doors. I'm going to do it all. I will accept everything but fall for nothing, stubborn yes. I work hard at and for everything I do and all I want in life is to be remembered. I am a firm believer that everyone you meet in life is there to teach you something- take every moment for all its worth. I am thankful for everything that I have in life and look forward every day to the challenges that it holds and the people I will meet. The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace things, but burn like fabulous roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue center light pop and everybody goes "AWW!"
