Stuff you can't buy in Haiti

Some of this may be available in Port-au-Prince and I just don't know it, but we never get a chance to go that far away to do our shopping. If you're a traveler or missionary who is going to be out in the rest of Haiti, shopping in smaller cities (we shop in Saint-Marc), you might want to bring these along with you so you'll have them when you need them.

Barleygreen or similar powdered nutritional drink

When you're eating nothing but carbs and starch, you need something to keep you healthy.

When you're repelling malaria mosquitoes, you want the best protection you can get.

Calendar
Calligraphy pens

Wide-mouth quart jars are great for storing things away from bugs and for making your own homemade versions of foods you can't buy (like pickle relish)

Clipboard
Duct tape

Green tea

If green tea is your thing, you might have to ration what you brought with you to last your entire time.

After getting Malaria, I can't overemphasize this enough!
