Maitengwe Clinic
Box 37
Maitengwe, Botswana
Pretty elaborate, eh? Here's to having no street names in Bots. Make sure to use my Setswana name as no one in the village knows my American name. I may get my own box later but for now just use the clinic’s. And be sure to write my Setswana name because no one is my village knows my American name. Gosh, it’s like I’ve left my identity behind! LOL jk.
Again, just write 'educational materials' or something like that on the box. There is a post office in my village but expect for things to take a lot longer to make their way up north.
Try this site for calling cards, apparently it’s less than 2c / minute: 3utelecom.com and reference the code for Peace Corps 360-945-1384. I am not really sure what this means, but someone in our group offered this to us so I imagine there is some discounted rate because of the PC.
Finally, I have posted a link on the right under "Botswana Links" that gives a list of things that are always helpful to send, as well as a list of things I will never need you to send. Check it out!
