Contact Information

LETTERS:
Kim Shumaker, PCT
Cuerpo de Paz
Apartado Postal 1266
1000 San Jose
Costa Rica

Helpful Guidelines:

-Letters to Costa Rica cost 90 cents.
-Don't mail money. (I know you were all thinking about doing that...)
-I talked to a volunteer down there and she said: DO USE THE US POSTAL SERVICE for packages. She hasn't had any trouble getting them at all!

PACKAGES!!:
If you would like to mail a package, I have heard this is an AMAZING ENCOURAGEMENT to volunteers. (just a small hint :)) And according to current volunteers the quickest and most reliable way to send & receive packages is through the US Postal Service. She said NOT to use DHL or FEDex. OK - so that was helpful. I'll keep you updated on any more changes!

just in case you need these for anything:

Peace Corps Office Phone Number: 011-506-231-4122
Peace Corps Office Fax Number: 011-506-220-3275
