note: mosquito nets and hammocks have not been listed because these will be bought by Jorge in Iquitos. Both items cost $15 each. If you want a specific hammock-net though, you need to get that in the states. If you don´t want to sleep in a hammock always, a sleeping pad would be adviseable for the floor. The hammock is still good to prevent mosquitos from coming up under the floor into your net.
I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND packing in a hiking backpack if possible. It makes it so much easier to carry around; this is important since we will be doing a lot of traveling.
Clothes:
1. 2 dress shirts for ministry
2. 2 casual shirts for Iquitos and travel days
3. (guys) 2 pair dress pants for ministry
4. (girls) 2 skirts for ministry
5. 1 pair casual pants (jeans, long shorts, etc.) for Iquitos and travel days
6. 2 pair work pants (jeans, etc.) for manual labor days and for protection from the bugs. (Bring a belt if you bring jeans, as they will stretch, since they won't be in a dryer)
7. 2 pair long exercise shorts (optional)
8. 3 pair undershirts (optional)
9. 2 pair black dress socks
10. 2 pair athletic socks. Long socks are great mosquito protection too
11. 8-10 pair underwear
12. 2 t-shirts for manual labor (and exercise if desired)
13. pajamas
14. long-sleeve turtleneck or sweatshirt for bug protection and cool nights (and to use as a pillow)
15. rain jacket or poncho
16. bathing suit (this includes a pair of long shorts for girls)
17. black tee and skirt / pants for drime. Guys - also need white tee and khakis for Jesus option.
18. black or dark blue bandana (needed for training camp)
Shoes:
1. (guys) 1 pair dress shoes for ministry (girls may bring dress shoes too, but most girls just wear sneakers with their skirts)
2. 1 pair sandals
3. 1 pair sneakers (for manual labor and exercise if desired)
Toiletries:
1. deodorant
2. (guys) Tinactin says Ed. Ed says Gold bond isn´t strong enough here. Dave the crocodile killer says Gold Bond is better. So just Tinactin or Gold Bond is fine.
3. (girls) normal feminine products
4. soap and shampoo
5. towel
6. toothbrush, toothpaste
7. shaving necessities
8. small mirror
9. eyeglasses and/or contact lens accessories
