Shopping is best done at home, so please come prepared.
Be prepared for any clothing you wear on the work site to get ruined and dirty. Proper PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) is a requirement for volunteers.
We will be providing bedding such as a sleeping pad, pillows, and blankets.
Please pack light - think about what is needed vs. wanted; space on base is tight, and the environmental impact of items left behind after programs is a serious issue in local communities.
Please see the following lists for required and recommended items:

Please keep in mind that you will be sharing a room with other volunteers, so space for baggage is limited.
