Mailing Suggestions

Apparently, receiving mail/packages is as good as crack while in the Peace Corps...so in order to help me facilitate my addiction, please send me something :)!!

To help you do so, here are a few tips/suggestions...

1. My address: Courtney Maloney

Peace Corps Trainee

Corps de la Paix

B.P. 215

Yaoundé, Cameroon

2. Mail should be sent directly to the Yaoundé address, OR directly your Volunteer's post address once training is finished.

3. Both Volunteers and family members should number letters sent so that the receiver can determine whether any letters did not arrive.

4. Packages should be sent via air, not surface mail (surface mail has been known to take longer than two years to arrive.)

5. Sending packages to Cameroon is a risky proposition. Theft of packages is common. It may help if you insure the package, mark the package in red ink, put religious symbols on the package and/or address it to 'Sister Courtney Maloney'.
