Don’t forget:

No bedding needed

A towel would be good

US$ 50 in spending money (personal – all meals are included)

Mosquito repellent

Electricity in Rio do Sul is 220v.  That means that anything you bring from Lincoln that runs on 110v will burn up within seconds of plugging it in.

 

In Rio do Sul yesterday temperature was – high 73 low 55…if a cold front hits temps can dip into the mid 40s…and NO central heating.  Be prepared

In Rio de Janeiro yesterday temperature was – high 80 low 68…today a cold front is hitting – it’s 69 outside right now.

More to come later...bw

Welcome

Hello Supporters and Parents,

As you know we will be leaving on June 9, 2009 for Rio Grande de Sol, Brazil for a 2-week mission trip. Our team consists of 19 high school students and 6 "adults." In the coming week and a half before we leave, we'll be posting emergency information and other stuff on here. While we are in Brazil we will be updating you with pictures and information of what we are doing and how our progress is coming. Thank you for your support and prayers.
