Location/Contact Information

Here is a map highlighting in red the areas in Zambia in which I will be working:

Because I will be dividing my time between the Kala and Mwange refugee camps, I will have two mailing addresses at which I may receive post. 2-3 weeks should be allowed for letters to arrive. Packages can take even longer and can never be guaranteed to arrive in the condition in which they were sent. Sending mail home also takes 2-3 weeks (sometimes more) to arrive.


Kala Refugee Camp
Heather Falenski, FORGE
UNHCR Sub Office
PO Box 730184
Kawambwa
Zambia

Mwange Refugee Camp
Heather Falenski (FORGE)
c/o Kalabwe Basic School
PO Box 470174
Mporokoso
Zambia


I will receive a FORGE cellphone, for which incoming calls are not charged to my phone. (I only get cell phone reception when I travel into town.) I am also able to receive text messages in the camps. I do not have the number at this time but will post it as soon as it is available.

Love the Website!

I have a few suggestions to make it even better. How about adding links related to (1) how to make donations to FORGE, (2) local news in Zambia, and (3)current weather and forecasts?

Great photos too. It will be interesting to see your photos from Zambia.

Best of Luck, and keep the website up to date!
