PACKING
* You are allowed 2 suitcases (50 pounds each); 1 small carry-on bag, and 1 personal bag. Purchase small TSA-approved locks for your suitcases.* We encourage you to save space in your bag for souvenirs/gifts as we will visit a school and a clinic. It is customary to bring gifts of school supplies and supplies for the rural clinic. Plan to pack a few items in your bag (pens, pencils, composition books, paper, journals, markers, staplers, toothbrushes, toothpaste, cotton balls, Q-tips, socks, t-shirts, hard candy, etc.) We will present a collective gift when visiting both the school and clinic. A few items from each of you equals a HUGE gift!* Be sure to carry large bills to exchange money $50 & $100. Some $5’s are useful when tipping. You may use credit cards at the hotel, some restaurants, and grocery stores. Cash is king in the market and for personal exchanges/purchases.* Pack comfortable cool clothing and walking shoes/sneakers. Dark sneakers are best for tour days. Pack an all-white outfit for the naming ceremony.* Remember to pack your: medication, phone chargers, personal toiletries, wash cloth/wash sponge, mosquito repellent, voltage converter, https://a.co/d/60jjUJj?mc_cid=b318f78339&mc_eid=UNIQID and or plug adapter https://a.co/d/1B3WnFK?mc_cid=b318f78339&mc_eid=UNIQID
