[Guinea-list] Who's going to Guinea; Spice up our blog; Support FOG via amazon.com

[Communications FOG]

Hi all,
Here are a few housekeeping items of things some of you might not be aware of…
 
 
WHO’S GOING TO GUINEA
I maintain a calendar/list of people who are going to Guinea and have offered to carry mail. The site can be found at:
 
http://calendar.yahoo.com/goingtoguinea
 
The list is presently empty but… if you're willing to carry courier to Guinea, please contact me at communications at friendsofguinea.org -- and specify what type of courrier (letters? packets? packages?) you're willing to carry and where in Guinea you're going.
 
If you want to get courrier to Guinea, please click on one of the names in the calendar (when they appear), which will show that person's email. And email that person directly for their street address.
 
 
 
SPICING UP THE FOG BLOG
Friends of Guinea has its own blog. It can be found at:
 
http://friendsofguinea.blogspot.com/
 
Presently, the blog comprises primarily Guinean news along with some FOG news and Peace Corps/RPCV news.
 
However, I’d like to spice up the blog with contributions from members. I was thinking primarily of any memoirs, old journal entries and short fiction. I’d also like to see some political, human rights- and development-related essays. You don’t have to express the position of FOG, the Peace Corps, the US government or anyone other than yourself.
 
Anything not listed above that might be of interest to Guinea-philes and/or the Peace Corps community will also be considered.
 
If you’d like to submit something or have any questions, please contact me at: communications at friendsofguinea.org
