You will even learn how to barter. In Rwanda, some of our orphans also make baskets, wood carvings and wonderful cards which you can purchase. In both Rwanda and Kenya we have orphans who are accomplished tailors and can make custom clothing for you. Be sure and ask them to put in some extra room or else your clothing will fit\u2026. exactly!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c60cbb9 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"c60cbb9\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2c52e73 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"2c52e73\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f8ed602 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"f8ed602\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7de7d35 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"7de7d35\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3d55877 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3d55877\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhat kind of electrical appliances can I use?\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d951113 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d951113\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMost Zoe countries use a 240 volt current for electrical outlets (the U.S. has 110 volt outlets);  many cameras, shavers, hair dryers, camcorders, laptop computers etc. are able to use either power source and some have a switch that needs to be flipped to enable the use of a different power source. We recommend that you examine your appliances to determine if they can be used with 240 volts.  You will still require a plug adapter which will allow you to plug into a wall socket. These can be purchased at many places including Radio Shack, Best Buy, WalMart etc. If your appliance can not handle the alternative power source, you can try a power converter although these are more expensive and less dependable.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1be3ffd e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"1be3ffd\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-01fcc7c e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"01fcc7c\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-45b6a0b e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"45b6a0b\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f221776 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"f221776\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f7cbbd8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f7cbbd8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWill there be enough water for me to drink?\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f03ab31 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f03ab31\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tYes, Zoe staff will make sure you have access to bottled water whenever you need it.

Any modest clothing is appropriate to wear (shorts and low cut clothing is rarely seen). The Zoe program staff and orphans will dress up for our meetings, but our American teams typically wear casual clothing. Bringing an extra pair of shoes is recommended in case one pair gets muddy or wet. Some people want to pack light and wash clothing in country. This is possible but if the weather is wet, then drying clothing can take days, even if using the hotel laundry. Most people bring a change of clothing for each day.
