Our next trip to Haiti

Our next trip to Haiti is scheduled for September 28th through October 14th. This team trip is currently FULL with 24 people who have signed up to go as well as a waiting list of 2! We will have 2 separate teams going and they will each spend one week in Haiti although there will be a small handful of team members who will stay for the duration of the trip. Most of our team members are from Utah but there are also a few from Maine and California. Our work project for this trip will be to update the children in the child sponsorship program who are in the following communities - Terrier Rouge (Center of Protection and Secondary School), Paulette, Phaeton, Danda and Trou du Nord. We will also need to catch up with approximately 200 children who we were unable to see during our last visit to Haiti due to the Mardi Gras festivities. This should prove to be our most ambitious goal to date and will probably amount to close to 850 children to be seen! Please pray for the team members as they prepare (most are "newbies" - people making the trip for the first time) as well as the team leaders as they work out the complicated travel details of this two-group team.
