Call me in Madagascar!
Times have changed for Peace Corps volunteers in the developing world.
I just set up my cell phone, so if you feel like hearing my voice sometime, try me at 011 261 33 07 45565
For those of you in California, it's 10 hours later in Madagascar.
My trip to Mananara has been further delayed by Cyclone Ind'lala. I'm hoping to be able to leave Tana on Monday. Until then, I'm stuck in Meva. (That's Malagasy for "heaven"). Meva is the Peace Corps volunteer transit house. It's like having our own private hostel, with hot showers, a bathtub, toilets that flush, a communal kitchen, and an assortment of videos and books for entertainment. It's also near the Peace Corps headquarters.
There are probably worse places to be stuck than Meva...

Hi Helen,
I was surprised to see your blog on my Google Madagascar Alerts. I hope you are doing well and make it out of Tana safety.
My daughter, LaurenGreenberg, is serving in Madagascar too. Do you know her?
