Over the counter products are also effective and drugstore brands
are as good as brand names, in our experience

medications)
Electricity Converter and Adapter - The 3-prong adapter is used
in Kenya
Pepto-Bismol tablets - 2 each day will help prevent diarrhea

ITEMS YOU MIGHT LIKE TO HAVE WITH YOU

NOTE! DECAFFEINATED COFFEE IS NOT AVAILABLE IN ALL CAMPS!
But, hot water is always available... so if you bring your own De-Caf,
you can have it whenever you choose.

BINOCULARS - If you bring a pair, 10X50 might be best. These are
available at discount stores for $30 to $50. But, they are heavy, of
course. 10X25 are also useful, but have a smaller field of view.

If you would like to bring small gifts, T-shirts & caps (with logos)
and/or ball point pens are always welcome. Also welcome are school
supplies such as notebook paper, notepads, coloring pencils, etc. for
the children. Note, however, opportunities to hand these out will be
limited.
