Keeping in Touch

Sharlot would love to hear from you!

Her email address is: [email protected]

Send aerogrammes & letters to:

Sharlot Hart, PCV
B.P. 108
Ambositra 306
Madagascar


Send packages to:

Sharlot Hart, PCV
Bureau du Corps de la Paix
B.P. 12091
Poste Zoom Ankorondrano
Antananarivo 101
Madagascar

By continuing to send packages to the Peace Corps address, Sharlot will not have to pay to receive them.

F.Y.I.: The fee that Sharlot is required to pay to receive a package that is not sent to the Peace Corps address is expensive and if she doesn't get the package immediately, the post office makes her pay for "lodging."

Suggestions for items to send Sharlot?
(info from Sharlot below)

Stuff I want! REMEMBER, please don't send anything you'd be devastated I didn't get. Also, packages which go to the PC Tana address might not get opened, etc, as fewer people handle them…but, it will take longer for me to get them, than the new Ambositra address.

1) Books--any books will do, but I also figure I have time to read the classics. Send paperbacks, cheaper for you. And, I can trade them.
2) Food--Country Time Lemonade mix--Oreos--peanut butter--soup mixes--LUNA Bars (chocolate ones are the best)--Dorritos--Spices (like cayenne, Italian mix, nutmeg, etc.)--Gomashio (sesame seeds and salt).
3) Miscellaneous--another nalgene bottle--a basics guitar book (did I tell you all I bought a guitar?)--pictures of you all!--Frisbees (you have no idea the delight these kids have in playing with my Frisbee. They jump for joy when I come downstairs with it.)--Oh! 2 Montlure blue song books if possible--small bottles of hand sanitizer--Ricola green tea and Echinacea sugar free cough drops--music.

These are just suggestions since many people asked before I left to let them know what I needed. Wow – there's a lot! You don't have to send anything, of course!

WARNING: Please check the guidelines before sending care packages from the US. Weight, content, and customs restrictions may apply. There may also be prohibitions against sending food items. You should consider carefully before sending items of great value, too--theft is possible. Also, remove any price tags and don't include receipts. Please abide by the suggested regulations in order to prevent the loss or delay of items.

Keep in mind that another country's postal system may take longer to distribute mail than the United States Postal Service. It is not uncommon for correspondence to take several weeks for delivery. For this reason, you may want to number any letters written to keep track of your correspondence.
