Dear Everyone,

As you all know, I am leaving the country for two years to go to Niger, Africa. Since joining, I have received a lot of comments letting me know how perfect, noble, and wonderful I am for becoming a Peace Corps Volunteer. Although I have always known that I am perfect, it is nice to see that others have finally realized this as well. I could not though have done this without the support of my friends and family and some other random people on the internet. Speaking of support I have compiled a list of things I will love to receive in the next two years (see below). Now although none of you HAVE to send me any of the objects on my list, if you do not, do not expect to be written about in my noble prize winning book I will write "My adventures in Niger; Sand, Elephants, and Bucket Baths, the true story." which I expect to be published in 2010.

My List:
-chapstick
-ice cream
-money
-letters/emails
-chocolate
-water
-lotion
-stamps
-batteries
-solar powered dvd player
-dvds
-pictures of what i'm missing
-puppies

Now anything of course will be nice to receive so use your imaginations. Remember most of you like me.
Here is my address

Barbara Bertrand
Corps de la Paix
B.P. 10537
Niamey, Niger

and obviously my email is BarbMB@gmail.com

Now I understand that many of you will spend the next few weeks crying and starring at my pictures, but remember two years (and three months) is really not that long of a period of time. It is the same length as how long you are supposed to keep your pillow, a few seasons of grey's anatomy, how long it will take Tom and Scott to become millionaries, a few graduations, 2 harry potter movie releases, emily to stop stalking conor (welll... err... maybe on that one), my sister to become a lawyer and support my lazy ass when I come home, jeff's band to get famous, and most importantly it will be just enough time for me to save a few trees and make some wonderful memories.

I love all of you, and I will miss each and every one of you for all different reasons. Thank you for being the kind of people I will miss.

Barbara Bertrand
