Our New Address at Site
Hi Friends!
While I've been absent from the blog, I've been trying to post tidbits daily on Facebook (so please friend me if you haven't already). Facebook wins my digital fidelity these days because it's very cumbersome to peck out updates from my phone (our main internet device).
I also wanted to share our new mailing address:
(name), PCV
P.O. Box 710150
Mansa, Luapula
Zambia AFRICA
The Lusaka address is still valid, just slower. :)

Care Package Wish List
Before we left the U.S. a lot of folks had asked us what they could send us. So, we put together this "wish list"...
- Clif or other protein bars
- MRE's (Wal-Mart has some for about $5), Mac n' Cheese and anything else that only needs hot water
- CHOCOLATE and any fruity candy (like hot tamales, jelly beans, skittles)
- TJ's trail mix and goodies (salmon jerky, cafe rio candies, dried berries, pretzels, etc.)
- awesome instant coffee and teas
- packages of tuna or salmon
- packets of condiments from fast food restaurants (surprise us!)
- sauce packets
- your old magazines
- spices (garlic powder, ground pepper, curry, cumin, etc.)
- electrolyte powder, Gu packets, hot chocolate powder or powdered soymilk
- bungee cords
- basic math workbooks, coloring books, crayons/markers/pencils for our neighbor kids to use when they visit our house
- anything solar-powered
I'm overdue for an update on our adventures here. I hope to post one next week when we go to Lusaka, where I can go to an internet cafe. During training, we have been living in a village setting with a wonderful host family just outside of Chongwe (about 30 minutes driving from Lusaka). Since I haven't come across any internet cafes here, I have internet access only through my "Zam-phone" (Zambian cell phone)- which has been a treat- but typing is slow going :)
