Contact details

Some people have asked about contact addresses. Well, as always email is the simplest format - I'm checking my normal email addresses every day. For envelopes, you can mail me directly. However, the customs do like to try and extract taxes for anything coming in to the country, so best not to send parcels. I'm not sure about the reliablility of direct post either, but the address is:

Fraser Stephens - MSF Holland
BP 2120
Bujumbura - Burundi

Alternatively you can send stuff via Amsterdam, where it will be hand carried by the next expat coming out with space. Last year this method was just as fast (or slow) as direct post and more reliable:

Fraser Stephens - c/o MSF-H BURUNDI
Plantage Middenlaan 14.
P.O. BOX 10014
1001 EA AMSTERDAM - NETHERLANDS

I also have a mobile phone (00 257 94 86 28) and there is a landline in the house (00 257 24 46 95). Bear in mind that we tend to go to bed early (9:30pm is normal!) and we are 2 hours ahead of GMT. I've called several people using Skype - if you hear a long delay on picking up the phone, it might be me!
