Very Handy But Not Required

Luggage Locks
It is a good idea to lock your luggage when you leave it at a host family’s house in the jungle. Make sure they are TSA compatible if you have them on your luggage in the airport.
Ziploc/Plastic bags
great for keeping things organized and dealing with wet gear.
Snacks (no fresh fruit or vegetables)
Knife (must go in your checked luggage!)
Work Gloves (for possibly handling rebar, splintery wood, power tools, etc.)
Musical Instrument
Spanish-English/English-Spanish Dictionary
you can purchase this online from Amazon or download one to your phone, tablet, or computer. If you are going with the smartphone/computer option, make sure it operates without an internet connection.
Spanish-English Bible
Amazon or Christian Book Distributors have Spanish/English Parallel New Testaments or you can download a Spanish Bible to your smartphone. YouVersion has several Spanish options available for download. We recommend Nueva Versión Internacional (NVI).
