WHAT TO BRING | gv14321

This is only a list to get you thinking, rather than a list of what everyone must bring. Try to walk through every day and every situation in your mind and work out which things you can do without. (If you can't carry it all by yourself, don't bring it.)

A good backpack to tote your belongings in to/from the worksite
A small flashlight (hand-held or head-mounted)
"Emergency" back up toilet tissue or wet wipes
Adapter and converter for any electrical appliances you may bring
Locks for all baggage
Alarm clock
Nail clippers, toothpicks, dental floss

Small travel mirror
Cameras, extra batteries and memory cards (or film)
A personal journal
Any special packaged food/snacks you may desire
Gatorade or other powdered drink mix (staying hydrated and replenishing electrolytes is essential to staying healthy)
Bandanas for cooling off & protection from the sun
Rain gear (poncho will do fine)
Long sleeve t-shirt for evenings to keep bugs away
One "nice" outfit in the event you want to get a little dressed up
Sun protection: hat, sunglasses, high SPF sunscreen, chapstick, etc.
Shower shoes (flip flops)

WHAT TO BRING

Good quality work gloves
Zip-lock bags for wet and soiled clothing
Sturdy shoes or work boots (tennis shoes
will be fine)
Hand sanitizer
Insulated water bottle
Insect repellent
Medicines: The affiliate will have a medical
kit at the site and I will bring additional first aid
supplies as well. However, the type of
medicines available in Nepal may not be the
same type with which we are familiar.
Bring any that you may need (prescription
or otherwise).
Notes about appropriate dress for men and
women will be shared in a future newsletter
to the team.
