Care Package Tips/ Training Address


Care Package Tips
·         FLAT RATE BOXES from Post Office are cheapest or First-Class International via USPS
·         Number or Date letters, letters can come in various order, so best to number or date
·         Generally takes 2-4 weeks for me to receive any mail (letters or packages)
·         Label clearly “AIRMAIL/Par Avion”
·         Write “PEACE CORPS VOLUNTEER”
·         Don’t use packing peanuts or other filler, be creative send useful items I want/need as filler
·         Please don’t send anything irreplaceable or amazing quality
·         Be vague or general on customs forms
·         Put food in Ziploc bags and make sure everything is in original package and sealed properly or it will go bad or get ruined 
 
Here are tips on how to send me packages and letters. At this time I don't not have a permanent address, but I do have a training address. I will only have this address until mid-September. So if you would like to send me anything while I am training here is that address:
Chaye Estep/PCT
US Peace Corps/Ethiopia 
PO Box 7788
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Once I have my permanent address I will share that will y'all! 
Thanks for the love and support! Please keep sharing my journey will whomever!
