Snail Mail

My mailing address at site :

PCV Cibyl Delaire
B.P. 278
Kolda, SENEGAL
Afrique Ouest

*Don't forget to write "Par Avion" or "Air Mail" on the front.

Tips for sending packages from a seasoned PCV:

PLEASE put a false amount on the claims slip that will be on the box – something lower than $10.
Don’t send anything that looks nice or expensive – meaning, take things out of their plastic wrapping and put them in zip-loc baggies, remove special packaging and wrap things in newspaper etc. Why? Our packages often get opened at customs and sometimes we get charged A LOT to pick up our boxes if they think the things inside are worth a decent amount.
Things to write on the box or packing slip:

“Dieu voit tout” (“God sees everything”)
A fake tracking number
A low amount to “claim” on the packing slip, like $3 or $6, regardless of what’s actually inside the box.
“Educational Materials,” or “matériaux éducatifs”
