Clothing

August is very pleasant, but can unexpectedly get cool, so plan on bring a light jacket and sweater.  A sport warm-up is essential.  All items such as these you can also purchase in USA.  It is usually very pleasant but can be warm (about 30 C, 90 F % ), so bring lightweight, quick-drying clothing (cotton is good), but NOT skimpy.  For girls, if you bring tank tops, please make sure they have small arm holes and wide straps.  On some days you will probably want to change more than once, so make sure to bring plenty of t-shirts, socks, etc. In addition to your sports shoes (Note: courts are outdoors, hard), bring another pair of very comfortable shoes for walking (we do LOTS of walking here!) and a pair of thongs or similar item to wear when using the community showers. We would encourage you to also bring a few "nicer" clothes for church and other public appearances.

Miscellaneous

• You can buy almost anything you need here in USA, but you probably want to bring your own shampoo, soap, deodorant, towel, etc.
• The voltage in USA is 110, so if you bring any items that need to be plugged in, you will need to bring an adapter with you in from another country.
• Bring ideas for drills, games, practices, group games and simple songs in your own language to teach the students.
• Don't forget your Bible, pen & notebook!
• Other Items- umbrella or light raincoat (Please pack in your carry-on.  We never know when rain will fall ?) ; mosquito repellent & anti-itch cream; athletic pre-wrap and tape (if needed); any medication you use; battery-operated alarm clock; salvation bracelets (multicolored beads on a leather string which can be used to share the Gospel); extra t-shirts, jerseys, and anything else that might be appropriate to give away as gifts to friends you will meet here; pictures of your family, school, city, etc. are great for conversations with students; a daypack (small backpack); sunscreen;  wet wipes or anti-bacterial hand gel;  although it’s pleasant here, you might want to bring a light sweater or sweatshirt for the very cooler restaurants.
