SUPPLY BAG QUESTIONNAIRE
Volunteers traveling from the contiguous United States are expected to be available to carry a pre-packed bag of equipment and/or supplies to the clinic. We ask that volunteers limit their personal baggage to one checked bag and bring our bag of supplies as your second piece of checked luggage. GDR will reimburse you the cost of checking this bag as your first or second checked bag. 

Please note: 
1) Not all volunteers will be asked to carry a supply bag. If you are selected to carry a bag, your country coordinator will communicate this with you in advance. 
2) The supply bag will be shipped to your home address prior to your departure for the clinic. 
3) Supply bags meet all airline baggage requirements and weight restrictions.
4) Each bag contains an inventory of contents in the side pocket.


Donated Items 
If you plan to bring additional supplies to donate, please indicate the amounts you will be bringing below. If you are unsure about the items/amounts you plan to donate, please write TBD. Please note that we cannot used expired materials. 





** We hand carry all equipment and supplies for the clinic from the United States. We need as much help as possible to get bags of equipment and supplies to the clinic. This is the least expensive, most reliable way to deliver items to the countries we work in.
