Hey friends! We just finalized the packing list that will be sent to you sometime soon!! Exciting! I just wanted to add some ideas and additions that my group has found handy. I hope you find these ideas helpful--of course youll be fine without them, but they can help to make life a little easier and in some cases a little cheaper. Ive added a few examples but be sure to shop around--and always mention that youre a PCV, discounts galore, baby.) This item is pretty essential: A solar charger with USB ports for small electronics. This includes tablets, iPods, phones etc. This is great for homestay, for most sites which wont have electricity, and for travel. amazon/gp/aw/d/B00452EO7Y/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?qid=1417697135&sr=8-6&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70 A battery bank. This will store a couple charges for your small electronics. This is also a pretty essential gadget-- great for cloudy/ rainy days, emergencies, and power surges. amazon/gp/aw/d/B00H9BEC8E/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1417697440&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SY200_QL40 Extra battery pack for your phone, this can come in the form of a solar charger or not. Definitely not necessary especially if you have the above^ but a good friend to those who have it. amazon/Ascent-iPhone4-4S-EnerPlex-iPhoneSolarCharger/dp/B0093ROA0W amazon/gp/aw/d/B00HVORTUW/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1417697652&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SY200_QL40 Uv water purifier. Not necessary, youll have a water filter at site, water guard, and iodine pills--but its nice to not have to constantly buy water if youll be traveling a lot to Lilongwe, or around Africa. A good thing to have sent if you decide to do lots of traveling!! shop.camelbak/all-clear-bottle/d/1208 steripen/traveler/ A solar lamp. This is the best thing. I use it instead of head lamp. It will save you from constantly buying batteries. You can find solar lamps in country-- I also really like this model because a charge lasts forever, its really durable, lights up a whole room when you have company, and you can use it to charge your phone or other small electronics in place of a solar charger or battery bank. waka-waka/products/ 1 TB harddrive and extra Zip drives for media sharing! Come to Malawi stocked and it will be data exchange heaven for everyone involved! Everything else should be on the list-- its pretty comprehensive! Hope this was helpful!! :)
