Mail, Packages and Donations

Hey guys,

Since I will be on an island, mail will be very hard to receive. If I can send letters, I will send them home with Americans and they will mail them out. Several have asked me about sending packages to me like when I was in Peace Corps. As much as I hate to say it, I cannot receive packages either, mostly due to the short time I will be there and again, the mail service on the Islands.

If you would like to make a contribution to the cost of this trip to take in place of packages etc. it would be just as appreciated. This practicum is being self-funded.
Checks can be mailed:
4501 Bentley Drive Apt. 323.
Columbia, SC 29210.

Sorry for the short blog, I just finished packing and I have 45 minutes to get ready and say good-bye to the kitties before I have to leave for the airport.
