Luggage Guidelines

• Plan to put your personal belongings in one carry-on bag and backpack.
  
• Trip supplies will go one checked bag with a 55lb weight limit.
  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Missionaries do not offer a laundry service. Team members can rinse out clothing in their rooms and dry it behind the generator.

To protect your clothing from unexpected rain showers during transport, we do recommend packing each day’s clothing in a 2 gallon ziploc plastic bag. This type packing (if possible) does make it easy to grab a bag of clothes each morning and go!

#1 Rule to remember: Be flexible…do not complain! In a third world setting, nothing ever goes as planned. God’s timing is not always our timing. If you do have a question or concern, suggestion or comment (during your project), please see the group leader privately. Thank You.
