Denni Flutters Bye Africa

New Adress:
Denni Klisch, Peace Corps Volunteer
PO Box 156
Mokhotlong
Lesotho
Southern Africa

This will be the address to send correspondence to. I will be heading up to the mountains very soon and do not know how often I will make it down here to Maseru, as I believe that it is an 8 hour taxi ride.
Cheers,
Denni
