Mail!

If anyone wants to send me cards, letters, postcards, peanutbutter, or whatever during my first three months here is my mailing address:

Lisa Lavezzo, PCT
Voluntario del Cuerpo de Paz
Apartado Postal 3158
Tegucigalpa, D.C. 11102
Honduras

Since we have two different host families, for initial/end of training and then for field based training, i am not sure if mail that goes there gets delivered to me, or i have to go and pick it up... but send me things anyways!!! And i should get to my post in the beginning of September, so stay tuned for a new address at the end of the summer!

Religious sayings you are advised to write on the outside of the envelope to reduce the risk of theft and increase the chances that the mail will end up in mis manos:

Dios te bendiga
Jesus vive
Gracias a Dios
En el nombre de Dios
El poder de Dios
or simply draw crosses.

It has also been advised to aviod boxes, and use instead padded envelopes!
