After graduating from UCLA in 2008, I decided to join the Peace Corps. I am now a Community Health Promoter in Mozambique, Africa working for the Health & HIV/AIDS Capacity Building Project.
Receiving mail from home is great. There is always the chance that letters or packages will get lost or stolen so when something does arrive, it is all the more appreciated. Please don't send anything that someone might want to steal and make sure that packages are adequately secured. Anything you send is greatly appreciated and I will let you know as soon as I receive it but be patient because it can take some time.
