[ SNAIL MAIL! ]
Updated on July 23th. Finally! Here is my address in New Amsterdam for next two years!
Lot 34 Tucber Park.
New Amsterdam, Region 6.
East Berbice, Guyana.
South America.
Be sure to include South America on your mailing label! Sometimes, mail would end up shipped to Ghana in Africa or Guinea over there... We wouldn't want that, would we?
LETTERS: First of all, I truly love getting letters because they always make my day. If you write me one, I will write you one back! Hanging in my hammock + writing letters all day long is one of my favorite hobbies.
CARE PACKAGE: If you really want to send me a care package... you don't have to do that because I understand it is incredibly expensive to send one... DO NOT SEND VIA BOXES. They cost $$$. Send via padded envelopes instead! They are cheaper in shipping rates. but seriously, letters are more than enough and they will make my day brighter!
ALTERNATIVES TO CARE PACKAGE: However, since some of you have asked for alternative ways to send care packages, there are some! Send your letter to me! That is all I am asking. I know some of you would insist on more. I do have Paypal if you want to donate a small amount of money for school supplies to support Deaf Education in Guyana and in return, I will write you a thank you letter along with a receipt as proof that I have purchased school supplies in the capital city (I'm not one of those people who blow money on nothing). All you have to do is to ask me for my Paypal account. But truthfully, all I would like from you is your letter!
As for care packages if you really want to send me some... here are a couple of ideas. On that note, please make the inventory of what you're gonna send to me so I can know what's in the box after the custom inspection and what's not. All packages will be subject to the custom inspections and they will be delivered on Tuesdays + Thursdays in New Amsterdam. Don't send anything illegal, haha, maybe...

All mail takes up to three and five weeks to arrive both ways.
THANK YOU!!!

Thank you!
