New Address!!!

Letters and Packages
A normal airmail letter costs US$ 0.84 from the USA. Packages can be sent, though sales tax and customs duty can be expensive. If possible, use the small, green customs declaration sticker from the US Post Office rather than the half-sheet sized, white sticker. The smaller the package, the more likely it will come without tax or duty. Write "NCV" (No Cash Value) or "Not for Resale" on the declaration form. If a value is declared, use the used value--about 1/4 of retail. Any shrink-wrapping or new-item packaging material should be removed before mailing (leave audio/video tapes/DVDs/CDs in their boxes). Tax and duty will vary depending on the item. Books and educational material are not supposed to be taxed. Video tapes, even home-recorded ones, are currently being charged the equivalent of US $4.00 each. Clothes will be assessed tax and duty. Packages can be sent by DHL, Federal Express, and UPS--these are quick but expensive options. All have offices in Nairobi.
There are no real restrictions on what you can send, so feel free! :)

Our phone numbers remain the same. If you want to call us and you don't have our number, send us an email and we'll get it to you. There's just something about putting your phone number out on the internet that screams - solicitor!!!
