The total baggage allowance is 2x 23kg. 

Each student will have one baggage for their personal effect and one luggage to transport donations. 

The total dimensions (length + width + height) of each piece must not exceed 150 cm (59 inches)

Hand luggage:  One piece of carry-on baggage, either a handbag or laptop bag, that may not exceed 55 x 38 x 20cm and must weigh no more than 7kg.

Please be culturally mindful when selecting your clothes, especially with regards to length. As a rule of thumb, cover your shoulders and tummy and wear knee-length bottoms. In doubt, don’t hesitate to ask. 

We recommend to bring light long sleeve tops and trousers to wear in the evening as it is the time when the mosquitos are more active and the temperature cools down. If you attract mosquitoes, you may also prefer to wear long sleeves and legs clothes during the day.
