A lot of students who study at Minerva are for the first time in Guatemala. They don't know what kind of things they have to bring. Under here you will find a handy list:
- Passport
- Dollars or travellers checks; Canadian money or travellers
checks are not excepted!
- Credit Cards, Bank cards. In almost each village you can
pay with Visa, MasterCard only in larger centres. It is quite
difficult to get money with your Cirrus Bank Card.
- Photocopies of important documents.
- Money Belt.
- Warm clothing. Because Xela is located 2200 meters above
sea level, in the morning and in the evening it is quite cold.
- A warm sweater is necessary!
- Swim wear
- Sun Protection
- Rain Protection, especially during the rainy seasons
(May-September)
- Solid walking shoes and shower footwear
- Medicines for first aid items + prescriptions
In Guatemala the electric voltage is
110. This is the same plug as the United States. You may need a
world-plug if your plugs are different.
We would like to have our own library, so that you can change your English- and German books for other books.
Maybe you can bring some books which we can use in the library. |
