Contact details

If you have only just come on here for the first time in a while, there is - at last! - a huge update on everything in the post immediately below this one; for one thing, I am now in Guyana!

Now that I'm here, however, I thought it was about time to let people know my contact details for the coming months. On the whole, given the remoteness of my project (Aishalton) and the lack of regular transport, email is by far the best way to contact me: anyone, please feel free to drop me a message at bejw_88@yahoo.co.uk.

However, for those insistant on the good old ways of Snail Mail (or if you happened to feel like sending me anything a bit more substantial - Marmite is always appreciated), my postal address is:

Benedict Warner,
Aishalton Secondary School,
Aishalton,
South Rupununi,
Region 9,
GUYANA.

However, while that's fine during the dry season (late September through till March), when there is lots of contact with the nearest post office at Lethem, during the wet season (March until August/September), the following address is probably best:

Benedict Warner,
Aishalton Secondary School,
Aishalton,
c/o RAM Pilot,
Lethem,
Region 9,
GUYANA.

Take all this with a pinch of salt, however: the last year's volunteers informed us that post took '14 days to never' to reach Aishalton, and while there is an internet service in Aishalton (I'm now on the Aishalton Internet Committee), we were plunged in the deep end a bit when the internet died a couple of days after our arrival, and took 6 weeks to get fixed. So, apologies in advance if it takes me a little while to respond to anything you send me. But, nonetheless, contact is always gratefully appreciated!
