Can I bring expensive items such as laptops, phones and digital cameras?
Most volunteers bring laptops, digital cameras and mobile phones, but we strongly recommend you ensure they are covered by your insurance and that you do not flash them around as it may attract unwanted attention. We strongly suggest volunteers do not take laptops to the refugee settlement. Please ensure that you protect any expensive equipment from power surges through the use of a surge protector. A surge protector is an appliance designed to protect electrical devices from voltage spikes. Surge protectors attempt to regulate the voltage supplied to an electric device by either blocking or shorting to ground voltage above a safe threshold.
