Hello my fellow Peace Corp Volunteer. I hope this message finds you well. My name is Farfum Ladroma and I am an education volunteer in the Kingdom of Tonga in the South Pacific. I am writing to you all today because I need your help! My students and I at GPS MATAMAKA (an outer-island Government Primary School in Vava’u) are pursuing a “POSTCARD PROJECT.” I am asking for other PCVs outside of Tonga to please send us a postcard from your host country. We are trying to collect as many postcards from around the world, especially in countries where Peace Corps is currently operating. This project will help enhance my student’s understanding of other cultures and share what Peace Corps volunteers do all across the globe. I will keep a running list of all the postcards received with their origin on my blog at: http://farfumandtonga.blogspot.com/. You may check if your postcard successfully makes it to Tonga. This will be a great cultural exchange for everyone involved and a lot of fun. Please help out if you can and tell everyone you know (even your friends and families back home)! I would greatly appreciate your participation. Thank you very much and malo ‘aupito mei Tonga. Please send postcards to: MATAMAKA GPS c/o Peace Corps P.O. Box 136 Neiafu, VAVA’U KINGDOM OF TONGA SOUTH PACIFIC

Tips for sending mail my way: - write "Air Mail/Par Avion" on things you send - use red ink someplace on the envelopes - draw religious symbols somewhere on the envelope (silly) - stick postcards in envelopes or they'll probably end up on the post office wall! - be as vague as possible on customs forms...pretty much anything can be considered "educational materials," right? - keep in mind that mail typically takes 3-4 weeks to get from the States to BF!
...orrrr EMAIL ME! Do it! If you don't have my email address, I am sure there's a quick way to find it out!
