ITEMS TO BRING

The CUJAE children’s play ground is located well UNDER THE TROPICAL SUN so be sure to bring the following items:
•  Cotton clothing (it will keep you cool and covered)

•  Work clothes (for painting, cleaning, gardening, etc)
•  Gardening gloves
•  Beach clothes
•  Smarter clothes for more formal occasions and dinners out
•  Light sweater and/or jacket for cooler evenings
•  Lightweight raincoat for those occasional downpours
•  Sandals and other comfortable shoes
•  Sun hat (designed for the beach - Mexican sombreros are ideal)
•  Bathing suit
• Suntan lotion (with a high SPF)
•  Sunglasses (good quality sunglasses are highly recommended as the tropical sun can damage your vision)
•  Daypack
•  Flashlight (which you should have with you at all times)

SNACKS
Snacks are considered a luxury item in Cuba. Things like chips, gum, pop, and treats are expensive there. We suggest that you bring the snacks that you are going to want. Treats like granola/power bars are easy to pack and great to snack on. There is plenty of ice cream in Cuba but you have to bring your own ice cream spoon. So bring one for your trip.

MEDICAL KITS AND SUPPLIES
It is essential to bring your own medical kit (see below), as supplies may be difficult to find, and choice is extremely limited.

Traveler’s First Aid Kit
•  Antihistamines •  Diarrhea medication •  Calamine lotion
•  Antiseptic Cream
•  Pain relief medication •  Sanitizing wipes
•  Insect Repellent (with DEET)
•  Multivitamin and mineral tablets
•  Hand sanitizer (e.g. Purell)
•  Band-aids •  Rehydration sachets •  Tissue

It is also recommended that you always carry a daily supply of toilet paper and sanitizing wipes as the conditions of the washrooms may not always meet your expectations.

Please advise your group leader of any medical conditions.
