Haiti Home | Country Information | Wesleyan Presence | Our Involvement | Plans for 2012 | Earthquake Recovery
We are scheduled to be in Haiti on the island of La Gonave in March 2012. Detailed assignments will not be known until we are closer to the departure date. There is always need for maintenance and repair, and construction of a new, larger guest house may be nearing completion by that time. The hospital staff is always receptive to medical personnel. There may also be the opportunity for additional refurbishing at the Ortlip Ministry Center. Whatever the specifics of our labor, we want to encourage and support the missionaries and the nationals by our presence, our words and our attitudes.
WHY
Trips are expensive! Isn’t it better to just send money? – NO
There is no substitute for personal, on-site engagement

Work that would not be done otherwise
