Gearing Up for Winter Mission

Our Haiti group is coalescing and making preparations for our January trip. A few of the players have changed but the goal remains the same- improving, beautifying, and making healthier the residents of Pignon/LeGene and the 42 children at the Mt. Carmel orphanage. The logistics are complicated but "yours truly" has two rounds behind him and has a decent handle on what needs to be done. Medication purchases, travel plans and other supplies must be secured; Transporting 15 of us with our packs in and out of the central highlands of Haiti needs coordination.

This year two of my colleagues from the emergency department will be accompanying me- Christine, a seasoned nurse, and Dena, one of our physician assistants. As first-timers they are both very excited about the trip, and I can't blame them. They also will be blessed as I have been.

We also have our perennial spiritual leaders- Pastor Henry and his wife Janet, as well as other congregants with varied skills. While some of us work in the clinic, others will be putting up solar panels, working on trucks, and improving the orphanage grounds.

If you can see it in your heart to make a contribution to our trip please contact us or donate by clicking PayPal button on the upper right corner of this blog. I thought I had a way to make the contribution tax-deductible, but alas that option did not work out.

Thank you in advance.
