So what to pack? That is a big question, this is no weeks vacation:
Work clothes- For the most part I will buy them in Tanzania
pants- 1 pair of jeans & 1 pair of khakis
A two year supply of underwear - however many that is?
A Windbreaker
Merrel hiking shoes & 1 pair of sandals
3 pairs of socks
6 t-shirts
Red Sox hat
My rediculous pair of prescription sunglasses
Toys:
Camera
Creative Zen mp3 player
Solio solar charger - the sun will charge my mp3 player and camera. How cool is that?
Battery charger & a few batteries
Soccer ball of course
Sketch pad and charcoals
Aerobie disk
Still thinking about getting small speakers so my Tanzanian friends can see how cool Dylan, Joplin, and Tupac are. We'll see how much room there is in my suitcase.
Extras:
hand sanitizer Water bottle
deoderant pictures of my family & friends
fingernail clippers Small gifts for my host family
hair elastics Baby wipes
Thats it!! Hopefully it all fits.

hey ... looks like you got a good list of things to bring going. you're not over-doing it, which is good. be careful with showing too many people your speakers though, you'll never hear the end of it from them and they'll end up wanting your high tech stuff as a "zawadi" (gift).
Karibu tanzania dada. finished my PC service here last year and i'm still around. see ya when you get here.
do they wear underwear in tanzania? maybe you could start a new trend.... :o) {just a thought}

Hi, I am amy and i am a current PCV in tanzania in the environment program. My one main suggestion for your packing list is to make sure you bring a few skirts to training. You can easily get them made, but to hold you over for the first month or so bring at least 2. You will wear them a lot.
see you soon,
Amy
