Sending Mail & the USA Dream List

I am the luckiest Peace Corps Volunteer on the continent, no doubt. Help me help myself become the luckiest volunteer in all of the Peace Corps by sending me creepy love letters and amazing care-packages.

Address

Stephen Cormier

Care of Better Family Foundation

PO BOX 22

Fundong, Boyo Division, Northwest Region

Cameroon

Africa

(Do write' AIR-MAIL'/'Par Avion' on everything. Also, things like 'Jesus Loves You' on my packages and calling me 
'Brother Stephen' could also help. Definitely just write 'INSURED' on the outside--why not?)

DO NOTE ALL FOOD ITEMS MUST BE WRAPPED EXCEPTIONALLY WELL. Ideally in good zip lock bags/tupperware. This is what happens when rats have their way-- five holes in one box.

 Further more reason and proof. This stands as evidence that rats are not intellects. They made a valiant effort at the super glue and succeeded opening the cap while leaving the Girl Scout cookies behind. Amateurs.



 
THE WISHLIST

I have spent a considerable amount of time interrogating other Volunteer's care-packages, writing down impulsive cravings and conjuring up what else would bring a smile to my face in order to make this list. I have divided it up by the required method of sending each item.

Really, if you just sent me a post card from anywhere (could even be Binghamton) I'd be happy.

....and YES. There ARE post-cards in Binghamton. I know, I've sent them before. 10 Points for anybody who can find them. Hint: It's a local favorite place that is outside of Binghamton proper.
