Contact Info
Here's my Uganda contact info [*disclaimer to follow]
My student mailing address:
Kati House, First Floor
Plot 2, Kyagwe Road
P.O. Box 23431
Kampala, Uganda
For DHL or Fed X, use this address:
SIT/World Learnng
Resource Centre
Kati House
Plot 2, Kyagwe Road
Kampala, Uganda
*In terms of the [un]reliability of the Ugandan postal service, here's what S.I.T. has to say:
The postal system, although reliable, is slow. Expect regular postal mail between the US and Uganda to take 2-3 weeks in transit. Families and students could write frequently, but should not get too worried if there is a lull in the arrival of mail. It is not recommended that you receive packages through regular mail. Sometimes they arrive intact, other times they have been opened and possibly picked through. Sometimes they do not arrive at all [*in other words, NO dean and deluca, auntie cynthia!!!*]. Do not have anyone send cash through the mail because it will almost certainly never arrive. Do not send electronic items unless you are prepared to deal with the inconveniences of customs regulations and taxes. If you need to be sent packages from the U.S., we recommend that you use FedEx but experience has also shown that it is a hassle to clear these packages and often extra costs are charged by the Uganda Revenue Authority office on collection of these items.

Hey Ashley!
ReplyDeleteHave an absolute blast at Kingfisher resort- it's SO much FUN! And you're totally going to rock that presentation so don't sweat it. Also, your pictures are awesome- I didn't go to that park and I so wish I had! (although, total bummer about the bed bugs, I think you made the right choice but that's a painful one to make). As always, I can't wait to see you :) have a safe flight home!
xoxo
Friends can share all of their secrets together,
ReplyDeleteWithout telling another.
Secrets are part of a friendship,
That you can't even tell your brother.
Friendships are part of everyone's life.
And everyone knows that it's true.
So if you want to make someone happy.
Go make a friendship or two.
Under international law, I'm prohibited from calling Africa. I'm not legally permitted to tell you why, but it was just a stupid make that I made in the '80s, and now I'm paying for it.
